Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0121A recorded on December 3, 1979 teaching from John 1 – The Glory of the Only Begotten.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens looks at John 1, focusing on the “glory of the only begotten”—Jesus Christ. Pastor Stevens uses the nativity story to highlight the contrast between God’s ways and humanity’s, emphasizing God’s unconditional love and compassion, even for the seemingly insignificant. Stevens connects this theme to everyday life, using anecdotes from his experiences to illustrate how God’s love reaches even those who are seemingly unreachable or unresponsive. The ultimate purpose is to encourage listeners to accept Jesus and find solace and meaning in His teachings, moving beyond the superficiality and anxieties of the world.
