Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0484A recorded on January 24, 1982 teaching from Isaiah 41:13-20 – Fear Not; I Will Help Thee.
Pastor Cyril Stevens explores the message found in Isaiah 41:13-20, which reassures the faithful that God will always be present to help them through life’s challenges. Pastor Stevens employs a storytelling and illustrative approach to emphasize the need to cast away fears that arise from the world’s anxieties and insecurities. He uses vivid imagery to contrast the “idols” that people often rely upon—such as patriotism, wealth, or knowledge—with the enduring power of God’s promise. Throughout the sermon, he repeatedly urges his listeners to trust in God’s love and unwavering support, exemplified by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and to find true peace in a relationship with him. The sermon ends with a prayer for the congregation to embrace the profound message of hope and strength found in God’s word.
