Departing From Iniquity

Message For The YoungSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delivers a thought-provoking message about the importance of departing from iniquity and the foundational truth that Christians are not expected to walk in complete, flawless holiness all the time. He discusses the passage in 2 Timothy and the various interpretations of the term "vessels of dishonor." He also touches on the concept of being a living sacrifice and the tendency of humans to crawl off the altar, as well as the meaning of the word "shall" in the Ten Commandments. Throughout the message, Gregg emphasizes the need for continual cleansing and purification through the Holy Spirit.
