Pastor Cyril A. Stevens preaches on Luke 10:1-17 and the sending out of the seventy disciples to preach the Kingdom of God. Stevens emphasizes the urgency of the harvest and the need for laborers, drawing parallels to other Gospel accounts where Jesus expresses similar sentiments. He highlights how Jesus avoided areas of hostility and prejudice, choosing instead to minister in places of neglect and encourages listeners to actively engage in evangelism, seeing their communities as ripe for harvest, rather than becoming complacent and “sour” Christians. Pastor Stevens further delves into the authority and power given to believers to overcome the enemy, with emphasis that Christians have the power over sin through the strength of God.
