Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0095A recorded on October 3, 1979 teaching from Matthew 6:25-34 – Please, Stop Worrying!
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens outlines a divine prescription for overcoming anxiety by examining Jesus’s teachings in Matthew 6. The discourse identifies worry as an unprofitable and unchristian habit that distracts believers from their spiritual purpose and denies the sufficiency of God’s care. To combat this, Stevens presents several practical steps, including belonging to the family of God, recognizing one’s inherent value as a precious child, and exercising faith in action. He emphasizes the importance of living one’s life a single day at a time while ensuring that the kingdom of God remains the primary priority. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens gives an empathetic yet firm call for Christians to trust in the Father’s provision rather than succumbing to the exhaustion of modern-day anxieties.
