Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0408A recorded on August 30, 1981 teaching from Psalm 139:1-24 – Thou Understandest My Thought Afar Off.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens teaches from Psalm 139 as he preaches on how God understands and knows our thoughts, even before we fully form them. It underscores the importance of recognizing this truth and aligning our thoughts with God’s will. Stevens delves into four key points: the awareness that God knows our thoughts (Verse 2), the need to scrutinize our thoughts through God’s Word (Verse 14), the importance of jeopardizing our sinful patterns by seeking God’s searchlight (Verse 23), and the call to learn to think like God, focusing on thoughts of peace (Verse 17). The overall purpose of the sermon is to inspire listeners to live lives of inner holiness by aligning their thoughts with God’s will, ultimately leading to peace and a closer relationship with God.
