Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0342AB recorded on April 26, 1981 teaching from John 21:1-19 – Outstanding Peter.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens teaches from John 21:1-19, focusing on the Apostle Peter’s encounter with the resurrected Jesus after denying him three times. Pastor Stevens analyzes Peter’s actions as a representation of a common human experience: turning away from God, experiencing disappointment and denial, and eventually returning to faith through repentance and restitution. Stevens emphasizes that true repentance involves not merely emotional expressions like weeping or crying, but a complete change in life, a 180-degree turn back towards Jesus. Pastor Stevens uses vivid imagery and relatable examples, aiming to inspire listeners to examine their own relationship with God and strive for a genuine and lasting commitment to Him.
