Year of Popularity

Survey of the Life of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk by Steve Gregg, he continues with his historical and biblical analyses by delving into what he calls the "Year of Popularity." He begins by revisiting one of his past topics, the "Year of Obscurity," and contrasts it with the peak of Jesus' fame. Gregg then focuses on Jesus' ministry in Galilee, where he draws attention from the Pharisees and inspires many to follow him. Gregg also analyzes Jesus' interactions with women, his use of parables to teach, and the controversies that arose from his teachings. Additionally, the talk explores the moments leading up to the Sermon on the Mount and how it resulted in Jesus' popularity waning.
