Individual TopicsSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg provides insights into understanding the Old Testament prophets. He emphasizes that prophets are people who speak forth an inspired word from God and deliver it to the people, often in the form of visions, dreams, or hearing God speak to them. The purpose of prophecy was to exhort, edify, and comfort the people of God. Gregg explains how reading the Old Testament prophets alongside the New Testament writers' interpretation can provide a clearer understanding.
