Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0922A recorded on August 12, 1984 teaching from Mark 3:13-30 – The Ministry of the Spirit of God is Now!
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the Biblical teaching of the unpardonable sin, explaining it as speaking injuriously or blasphemously against the Holy Spirit. Pastor Stevens emphasizes that this isn’t merely saying harsh words, but a continuous rejection of the Spirit’s ministry and drawing, ultimately preventing acceptance of salvation. Several ways this resistance manifests are discussed, including refusing to humble oneself, neglecting salvation, and hardening one’s heart to God’s voice. Stevens concludes by urging listeners, both Christians and non-Christians, to be receptive to the Spirit’s work in their lives, whether through exercising spiritual gifts or seeking salvation.
