    based on 271 ratings
     | 27,562 views

    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

    Are You A Cain?

     | 5,655 views

    Today we consider what led to Cain's act of murder. In that we see the cause, the consequences and the cure of sin. And we have to ask ourselves "Am I A Cain?"

    Introductory Considerations 1. Are you a Cain? 2. I would think and hope that everyone here would quickly be able to answer "of course not", for as we just read, Cain was a murder - in fact the first murderer of all time. 2. How could I even think to ask this question? How could I ever think ...read more

    Why was Cain’s offering rejected? We reproduce Cain’s sin when we allow sin to control us and try to produce our own righteousness.

    Genesis 4 - The Sin of Cain Genesis 4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the LORD." 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel.

    What makes the "Better Sacrifice?"

    The two brothers walked slowly across the field, each one lost in his own thoughts and each one asking the same question, Why? The question keep coming back to both of them. What made the difference. Why was one acceptable and one not? Was one better then the other? And the more they thought ...read more

    Two shopkeepers were bitter rivals. Their stores were directly across the street from each other, and they would spend each day keeping track of each other’s business. If one got a customer, he would smile in triumph at his rival. One night an angel appeared to one of the shopkeepers in a dream ...read more

    What's The Significance Of A Shepherd? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jan 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,320 views

    This message looks at the significance of the shepherd and how it is essential to understanding God’s plan for church leadership.

    The image of the shepherd seems somewhat irrelevant to modern Americans. Without a doubt this makes it quite difficult to communicate God’s plan for church leadership. The picture of the shepherd fails to connect with us in the modern church. Shepherds would have been as common to the original ...read more

    Cain’s problem is ours: we are fearful and anxious if someone else seems to be getting ahead of us, and our anxiety is the root of our violence. But in God’s curse there is a mercy and a clue for brotherliness.

    For today’s message we are going back to the earliest moments in human history to look at one of the most basic issues in human life. We are looking at the way we feel about differences, and what we do about that feeling. The Book of Genesis, in its opening stories, teaches us about what it means ...read more

    Escaping Temptations

     | 4,286 views

    We see Cain yielding to sin and falling bait to it just because of his heart condition. He did not take any stand to rule over it or run from it. He just yielded. For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the

    Opening illustration: When we sin we often do so with the futile hope that we shall obtain the maximum amount of pleasure at the minimum penalty. It seldom works that way, however. I once heard the story of a man and his wife who decided to go to a drive-in movie. They thought the price was too ...read more
