Disciples and the Kingdom
Genuinely Following JesusSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the relationship between discipleship and the kingdom of God. He clarifies that the term "kingdom" refers to a relational concept in Jewish history, rather than a physical place. Gregg emphasizes that Jesus' disciples should not fear persecution, as they are part of a kingdom established by God, with Jesus as the true anointed king. He encourages his listeners to become part of this kingdom by following Jesus and becoming born again, even if it means enduring unpopularity or persecution.
