Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0025A recorded on February 25, 1979 teaching from Luke 4:31-39 – What Word! What Authority! What Power!
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the transformative authority of Jesus by examining a single, miracle-filled day in Capernaum. He highlights how Christ’s ministry intentionally bridged the gap between Jews and Gentiles, proving that His message of salvation was designed for the entire world rather than a single nation. By analyzing the healing of a possessed man and Peter’s mother-in-law, Stevens emphasizes that Jesus wields a divine power that requires no complex rituals, only a direct command to restore order to a broken world. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens gives an invitation for listeners to move beyond empty religious tradition and enter into a personal, filial relationship with God as a loving Father.
