| Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1081A recorded on April 27, 1986 teaching from Colossians 2:1-3 – Christ; In Whom are Hid all the Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens focuses on the biblical passage Colossians 2:1-3, which states that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ. Pastor Stevens explores how believers are like rough materials being crafted into something beautiful and perfect through a process of “admonition” (setting straight with gentleness) and “teaching” (Christ-centered instruction). Using the analogy of skilled craftsmen like engravers and jewelers, Stevens emphasizes that this transformative process, though sometimes difficult and lengthy, ultimately aims to present individuals as perfect in Christ, in the closest possible union sustained by the Holy Spirit. |
