Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0210A recorded on August 20, 1980 teaching from John 16:14 – He Shall Glorify Me.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens examines the ministry of the Holy Spirit, drawing from John 16:14, as we see that the Holy Spirit’s primary role is to glorify Jesus Christ, and any discussion or teaching about the Spirit that fails to emphasize this is not aligned with God’s intent. Stevens also highlights how the Holy Spirit acts as a teacher, guides believers into truth, provides sanctification (being set apart for God’s work), offers comfort, bears witness to believers’ identity as children of God, and convicts of sin, ultimately leading to repentance and reconciliation within the Christian community. Finally, Pastor Stevens proclaims that God equips believers through the Holy Spirit for the specific calling they have received, and this divine equipment is unfailing.
