Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg examines Matthew 10:16-20 and how it relates to the larger context of Matthew 10. He highlights the importance of Christians being like sheep among wolves, relying on the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance. Gregg cautions against an isolationist approach to the world and instead stresses the need for Christians to be bold in preaching the gospel. He also notes that the message in Matthew 10:5 about not going to Gentiles or Samaritans does not apply to the broader mission of spreading the gospel to all nations.
