     | 4,651 views

    Cain’s offering and Abel’s offering look similar on the surface but are distinguished from one another on the basis of the faith in their hearts. The great question this story asks is where our offerings fall, closer to Cain’s or closer to Abel’s?

    Pentecost 17 A Genesis 4:1-16 A Tale of Two Offerings 09/15/02 The powerful, faith assuring epistle of Romans which we have been reading this past summer and from which our epistle is taken today, draws near to its close with the following words of chapter 15. “everything that is written in the ...read more

    Our attitudes and our actions can alienate us from God and from one another.

    I begin this morning with a very deep and profound question, "What kind of animal are you?" Now, don’t get defensive, okay? If you were to describe yourself as an animal, what animal would that be? Let me narrow the field to four options, courtesy Dr John Trent, a Christian author and ...read more

    How we relate to God affects how we relate to others: Because Cain didn't have a right relationship with God, his relationship with his brother Abel was not right either.

    For a number of years, one of my favorite TV shows was "Murder, She Wrote" with Angela Lansbury. Now, I could never figure out how so many murders could happen in that little New England village of Cabot Cove, but there was something captivating about trying to figure out "who done it" before the ...read more

    The lives of Cain and Abel teach us some important lessons about ourselves and our spiritual lives.

    The story of Cain is the story of a man determined to do life his way rather than God’s way. It didn’t work then. It won’t work now.

    I Did It My Way Genesis 4:1-16 Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO Introduction: If our text were a movie, I have the perfect musical soundtrack for it.

    When jealousy or anger rears its ugly head, what do we do? The story of Cain provides us with some valuable answers.

    A woman testified to the transformation in her life that had resulted through her experience in conversion. She declared, "I’m so glad I found Jesus. I have an uncle I used to hate so much I vowed I’d never go to his funeral. But now, why, I’d be happy to go to it any time." Have you ever felt ...read more

    When I was an intern here in 1998, the automobile I drove was called a Plymouth Breeze. I’m not sure how that happened. Never planned on buying a Plymouth Breeze. I’m not sure anybody does. Nobody says, “I want to save up my money for a Plymouth Breeze,” but there are cars ...read more

    The Consequenses your sin can produce

    Repercussion of Sin III Cain cast off all fear of God, and attended no more on God’s ordinances. Hypocritical professors, who dissemble and trifle with God, are justly left to themselves to do something grossly scandalous. So they throw off that form of godliness to which they ...read more

    A woman I visited yesterday in hospital asked me "How do I know that I am ACCEPTED BY GOD?" In the OT Abel's offering was ACCEPTED and Cain's offering was not. Why?

    Genesis 4 - "HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM ACCEPTED?" They had behaved badly in class but they were equally disruptive in the detention room, swearing, acting tough and defying anything I said with a smart comment. Unacceptable behaviour. I have never really had a problem with anger, but the closest I ...read more

    Our heart attitude is what God seeks in whatever we offer to Him. When what we do is unacceptable, God will give us a chance to resubmit.

    Cain hated his brother as long as he was Abel! Cain’s parents disobeyed God and introduced sin into the world, and Cain became the first murderer. Sin’s beginning in Genesis 3 appeared small; our first parents broke a seemingly insignificant command of God. But in so doing, they rebelled against ...read more
