| Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1112A recorded on August 24, 1986 teaching from 1 John 1:5-10;2:1-17 – God is Light, and in Him is No Darkness at All. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens focuses on the teaching that God is light and the importance of fellowship within the Christian community. Pastor Stevens emphasizes that God is pure light and in Him there is no darkness, and Jesus is the embodiment of this light, revealing the nature of God to humanity. Stevens then explores the implications of this understanding, arguing that true Christians should reflect the light of God in their lives, characterized by forgiveness and love for all, even those who have wronged them. Pastor Stevens also cautions against the dangers of worldliness, which can stifle the light of God and lead to broken fellowship. He encourages listeners to pursue genuine fellowship, marked by participation, sharing, and mutual understanding, as a way of reflecting the glory of Jesus Christ. Stevens concludes with a prayer for God’s grace, asking that God’s light might overwhelm believers, enabling them to confess their sins and experience the forgiveness of Jesus. |
