The Very Beginning

Church HistorySteve Gregg
In "The Very Beginning," Steve Gregg explores the early days of the Christian church and its relationship to the Jewish synagogue. He notes that while the institutional church did not exist during this time, there was a faithful remnant of Jews who followed God. Discipleship was not about attending meetings or giving money, but about embracing the lordship of Jesus and following him wherever he went. Gregg emphasizes the importance of submission to apostolic authority and the Holy Spirit in understanding the true nature of the church.
