Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0009A recorded on December 3, 1978 teaching from Joel 3:13-14 – The Trumpet Call for Harvesters – Minor Prophets.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens uses Joel 3:13-14 to urge Christians toward active evangelism. Pastor Stevens emphasizes that believers should not become complacent (“sitting, soaking, and souring”), but rather recognize the ripeness of the spiritual harvest and the urgent need for laborers. He identifies the lack of manpower as a key problem, contrasting it with the readily available power of God. Stevens calls for action through preaching, prayer, and persuasion, encouraging listeners to actively seek and save those who are lost, lest they perish.
