Only One Way To God

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 18, 2020

Many say they can come to God in their own way. The Bible says differently.

Can a man choose his own way to come to God? God gives us the answer to this question in the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4:1-5. Cain and Abel were sinners, like all of us. They couldn’t give anything to God to pay for their sins. So God planned a way that they could come to Him. He made a ...read more

Sin Crouching At The Door Series

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021

The phrase “sin crouching at the door” the KJV has “lies at the door” depicts a wild animal such as a lion, ready to pounce on you. This is the word picture about the attack of sin. This word picture is not a literal door, but portrays Cain’s heart as a door.

Cain was the first human to ever be born on earth. His parents, Adam and Eve, both had special creation births. Many parents will read this story of Cain and remember what it was like to wait for the birth of their first child. So many hopes and dreams are wrapped up in that little baby who is your ...read more

The First Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

It is true that we must trace the fall of man to Adam, and there is no way to minimize the harm he brought to the human race by his sin. But the fact remains that somebody has to have been an example of righteousness in that beginning generation, and the evidence points to Adam.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan had something in common in their childhood, and that was that they both had fallen fathers. When Ron came home one day as an 11 year old boy he found his father flat on his back on the front porch, and there was no one there to help. He said, "He was drunk, dead to ...read more

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 5, 2020

This series looks at everyday phrases that had their beginning in the Bible. This message looks at the question: Am I my Brother's Keeper. And how that applies to the family of God.

It started out as a case of sibling rivalry and ended up as a case of murder. It’s a familiar story from the Old Testament, but not one that we think about very often. It involved the sons of Adam and Eve. And I know that we can get caught up in a lot of questions around this story. We are ...read more
