Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0228AB recorded on October 1, 1980 teaching from Acts 4:1-13 – Attractive Christianity. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens preaches on the concept of “attractive Christianity.” Using Acts 4:1-13 as a basis, Pastor Stevens explores why modern Christianity seems unattractive and proposes that the issue stems from a lack of genuine faith and commitment—“too much profession and too little possession”. Stevens contrasts the bold, fearless faith of Peter and John, whose actions demonstrably impacted thousands, with the prevalent lukewarmness, half-heartedness, and carnality within contemporary churches. Pastor Stevens argues for a return to vital, active Christianity characterized by boldness, a willingness to suffer persecution, and dependence on God’s power, not human abilities, ultimately emphasizing the importance of a life lived in close relationship with Jesus, resulting in big results and glorifying God. |
