Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0113AB recorded on November 28, 1979 teaching from Hebrews 5:10-14 – Babes in Christ – Part 1.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens addresses the critical transition from spiritual infancy to Christian maturity. He argues that many believers remain “milk babies”—individuals who have had ample time to grow but remain unskilled in the word of righteousness due to a sluggishness of mind and a refusal to progress. Stevens identifies several hallmarks of this stunted growth, including instability, a tendency to glory in human leaders, and a quarrelsome nature that prioritizes personal preferences over divine truth. Ultimately, Stevens serves a pointed exhortation for Christians to move beyond the first principles of faith and develop the spiritual senses necessary to digest the “strong meat” of deep scriptural reality.
