| Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1111A recorded on August 17, 1986 teaching from 1 John 4:16 – God’s Love Expressed. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens focuses on the idea of God’s love expressed through humanity. He uses the biblical passage from 1 John 4:16, which states “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.” as a springboard for his message. Stevens utilizes a conversational style with personal anecdotes, such as the story of a damaged bicycle, and a skunk’s unpleasant odor, to illustrate how God, despite the sinfulness of humanity, chose to express love through sending His Son, Jesus, to die for us. Pastor Stevens ends with a call to action, urging the listeners, particularly young people, to embrace God’s love and seek His protection. |
