| Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0216AB recorded on September 3, 1980 teaching from Philippians 2:1-18 – Let this Mind be in You, Which was also in Christ Jesus. |
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the call for believers to embody the mind of Christ, which Stevens identifies as the apostle Paul’s greatest joy. The core message emphasizes a radical shift from worldly, self-centered ways to acting as God instructs, specifically by cultivating harmony within the Christian community and actively working against divisive forces like fractional motives, contention, strife, selfishness, unworthy ends, conceit, and empty arrogance. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens underscores that living with the mind of Christ, marked by humility, self-denial, obedience, and prioritizing others, is the path to glorifying God the Father.
