Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1071A recorded on March 23, 1986 teaching from John 15:9-17 – So Have I Loved You. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens begins with a personal anecdote that illustrates the importance of remaining in the love of Jesus, a theme directly drawn from the scripture passage of John 15:9-17. Pastor Stevens uses this scriptural passage to explore the idea of obedience and love as the primary keys to remaining in Christ’s love. He then emphasizes the practical application of this concept by encouraging his audience to examine their lives for any areas where they are not pleasing God and urging them to return to the banquet table of fellowship and love. Stevens concludes with a powerful call to love one another as Christ has loved us, emphasizing the importance of expressing this love in our daily interactions with others. |
