Isaiah 32:1-2 – A Man Shall be as Rivers of Water in a Dry Place – 0501A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0501A recorded on February 28, 1982 teaching from Isaiah 32:1-2 – A Man Shall be as Rivers of Water in a Dry Place.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens draws from Isaiah 32:1-2 to illustrate that Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of spiritual replenishment for the dry and weary soul. Stevens emphasizes Jesus’s humanity, highlighting His experience of all human trials without succumbing to sin, making Him the compassionate High Priest who offers grace to those suffering from spiritual dryness and doubt, regardless of the validity of their initial conversion experience. Stevens repeatedly uses the powerful metaphor of a river of living water in a dry place to describe how Christ’s grace enters and transforms the barren human heart, fundamentally changing the character of the soul from parched weakness to life-giving fruitfulness. Pastor Stevens concludes by urging listeners to acknowledge their inner drought, making their need for Christ the platform for grace that leads to spiritual renewal and the powerful sharing of God’s glory.
