Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0223A recorded on September 21, 1980 teaching from 1 Peter 1:5, Psalm 121 – Kept by the Power of God. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens draws connections between passages in the Bible to illustrate the truth of being “kept by the power of God.” He begins by referencing 1 Peter 1:5 and Psalm 121, which speak of God’s help and protection, and expands this concept through various analogies, including the natural world. He then addresses anxieties surrounding events predicted for 1982, arguing that God’s power transcends human anxieties about environmental concerns and even natural disasters. Pastor Stevens main point is that Christians, through faith and obedience to God, are kept safe and secure from any external threat, both physical and spiritual. Stevens emphasizes the importance of obedience to God’s will and a continual trust in God’s power, even when facing trials and difficulties. Pastor Stevens concludes with a call to prayer, seeking God’s grace and guidance in living a life of obedience and faith, ultimately resulting in a full and secure relationship with God. |
