Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0861A recorded on March 4, 1984 teaching from John 3:30 – He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens, focuses on the biblical verse John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease” as he explores the practical implications of this verse in the lives of believers, emphasizing the need for Christ to become more prominent while the individual’s self diminishes. Stevens uses examples from the Bible, such as John the Baptist, Peter, and Paul, to illustrate how individuals grapple with this principle. He connects this concept to overcoming darkness, experiencing victory over sin, and ultimately finding salvation and freedom from God’s judgment through faith in Jesus Christ, urging listeners to examine their lives and ensure that Jesus is increasingly at the center.
