Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0069B recorded on July 1, 1979 teaching from 2 Corinthians 7 – The Promises of God.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the transformative power of divine promises and the biblical call to spiritual separation. He begins by highlighting the Apostle Paul’s firm refusal to compromise on moral truth, transitioning into an examination of how God’s Word remains unfailing and eternally accurate regardless of human interpretation. The core of the message focuses on the intimate reality of the New Covenant, where God promises to dwell and walk within His people, providing them with a supernatural strength that far surpasses human effort. Stevens illustrates the necessity of removing internal idols through vivid historical and personal anecdotes, ultimately portraying God as a loving Father who eagerly receives and restores any believer who chooses to turn away from the world. Pastor Stevens’ message serves as both an exhortation to personal holiness and a comforting assurance that God’s presence is a guaranteed refuge for those who belong to Him.
