Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0918A recorded on July 29, 1984 teaching from Romans 1:14-16 – A Debtor.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens focuses on the impending missionary work of a woman named Karen as he preaches about the concept of being a debtor to Christ, urging listeners to understand their spiritual indebtedness and the resulting need for unashamed devotion, even unto death. Pastor Stevens uses Paul’s declaration of being a debtor in Romans 1:14-16 as a springboard to explore the necessity of mourning over sin—both personal and societal—as a path to genuine spiritual readiness. He encourages a commitment to missionary work, not out of obligation but from a place of deep, heartfelt devotion and a willingness to sacrifice everything, emphasizing the importance of unwavering support for those who answer God’s call.
