Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0155AB recorded on March 30, 1980 teaching from Acts 23:8 – The Ministry of Angels.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the perpetual ministry of angels, contrasting the biblical belief in spiritual realities with those who deny the supernatural. Drawing from the book of Acts and the epistle to the Hebrews, he characterizes angels as ministering spirits who are divinely assigned to protect, guide, and serve those who have faith in Christ. A significant portion of the teaching addresses the moral accountability of humanity, suggesting that while angels witness the mistreatment of children and the vulnerable, God’s withholding of wrath provides a temporary window for repentance. Ultimately, Stevens seeks to comfort the believer by asserting that these heavenly guides provide constant care through life and a guaranteed escort into the presence of God at the moment of death.
