Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0165A recorded on April 27, 1980 teaching from Acts 1:6-11 – The Time is Now.
Pastor Stevens explores the concepts of sanctification and redemption through the lens of a personal anecdote and biblical scripture. Stevens uses the story of a young woman named Pam to illustrate how one can turn from a life of mischief and disgrace to one of devoted service to God. The core message emphasizes that through Jesus Christ, individuals can be redeemed from iniquity and experience freedom from guilt, leading to a transformed life that reflects God’s image. Pastor Stevens encourages listeners to examine their own lives, ensuring their actions align with their faith, and to seize the present moment for spiritual growth and sharing the Gospel, as the time to embrace salvation is now.
