Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0327A recorded on April 5, 1981 teaching from Psalm 139:1-6 – Thou Understandest My Thought Afar Off.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens teaches on Psalm 139 in this sermon. Pastor Stevens uses the psalm as a springboard to discuss the pervasiveness of God’s knowledge, emphasizing that God knows everything about us, even our thoughts and intentions. He then outlines four crucial steps that individuals must take to live a holy life in light of God’s complete knowledge: (1) realize God’s comprehensive understanding of us; (2) scrutinize ourselves through the lens of God’s Word; (3) be prepared to jeopardize our lives for God’s sake; and (4) continually meditate on God’s Word. The sermon concludes with an appeal to listeners to surrender our hearts fully to God and to embrace a life of continual devotion to Him.
