    Character Study Of Cain Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 20, 2025
     | 944 views

    Cain’s life serves as a warning against jealousy, anger, and disobedience. Though he had potential, he allowed sin to rule over him, leading to his downfall. His story highlights the importance of a right heart in worship and the dangers of unchecked emotions.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF CAIN – FIRSTBORN OF ADAM AND EVE, MURDERER OF ABEL By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: "And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?" – Genesis 4:9 Supporting Texts: Genesis 4:1-16, 1 John 3:12, Hebrews ...read more

    Abel’s life was short, but his faith and righteousness made an eternal impact. He exemplified true worship and devotion to God, setting an example for believers today.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF ABEL – RIGHTEOUS SON OF ADAM AND EVE, KILLED BY CAIN By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet ...read more

    Sin That Crouched At The Door Series

     | 7,556 views

    Why would Cain kill Abel, and what can we learn from his failure?

    Years ago when I was at Purdue I decided to read the Bible for myself. So, I bought myself a Bible Commentary, and a Bible Dictionary, and I made a deal with God: I told Him I’d read everything but the poetry, the prophecy, and the “who-begat-whos.” I set my Bible and study books out where I ...read more

    Sin's Blood-Stained Progression

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 18, 2023
     | 1,273 views

    The tragic story of Cain and Abel did not have to happen if only Cain had controlled his emotions and listened to the counsel of God. Instead, we witness the first murder and the further progression of humanity's rebellion and wickedness.

    In the first verses of Genesis 4, we are introduced to two sons of Adam and Eve, two attitudes of reverence towards God, one act of obedience, one act of defiance, a refusal to heed sound advice, and the horrendous consequences of rebellion. We witness remorse, selfish concern, and the gradual ...read more

    Cain And Abel.

    "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9).

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:2-15. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that ‘almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission’ (cf. Hebrews 9:22). ...read more

    Envy - A Perverted Love

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 13, 2022
     | 2,172 views

    This message is about how we sometimes find ourselves desiring something that belongs to someone else and in the process becoming resentful of the one who has what we desire.

    Envy – A Perverted Love Scripture: Genesis 4:1-8; Proverbs 14:30; Mark 7:20-23; Luke 6:45 The title of my message this morning is “Envy – A Perverted Love.” Let me tell you a story. There was a man who had a brother whom you would assume that he loved. One day both brothers brought an offering ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Four Series

     | 2,483 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Four. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER FOUR OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that the effects of sin is shown to the third generation of Adam. Matthew Henry (1714) – Genesis 4 In this chapter we have both the world and the church in a family, in a little family, in Adam's family, and a ...read more

    Sermon # 44 - Overcome Evil With Good Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 13, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 315 views

    Everyone has a choice to either do evil for evil or to repay evil with good. The latter is a godly decision which God approves of and the way Jesus exemplified. When our children are taught this when young, they will grow up to always do good no matter what evil is done to them.

    We read in 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.” (NKJV) When the first man Adam and his wife Eve had a baby boy, the words of Eve were, ‘I have acquired a man from the Lord.’ Children are given to us by the Lord, ...read more

    I Will Not Be Wasted

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 2, 2023
     | 3,824 views

    At times, some devoted people are cut off before their time, but if God's children can pray and be discerning, untimely deaths could be avoided.

    From the Genesis 4 story, we see that: • Waste could come from jealousy and anger (Gen. 4:5). • Jealousy could develop into enmity. • Enmity could arise from within, as Cain and Abel were brothers. • Enmity could arise from without, as Peter and King Herod were not related - Acts 12:1-19 o Pray ...read more

    Sin desires to destroy. We must rule over sin.

    SIN CROUCHES AT OUR DOOR (Outline) July 16, 2023 – Pentecost 7 – GENESIS 4:3-12 INTRO.: In the middle of our text today our theme jumps out at us. “…sin is crouching at the door…” The Lord God warns believers about the danger of sin.

    Murder At The Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 286 views

    The first murder at the altar exposes the danger of unsurrendered worship, but Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, transforming Cain-like hearts through grace.

    There is a sentence that sounds almost unbelievable the first time you hear it. A sentence we tend to rush past because it feels too severe, too intrusive, too revealing. But when you slow down long enough to take it seriously, it begins to open a doorway into the human heart… and into the ...read more

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 244 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    Am I My Brother's Keeper?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 13, 2025
     | 472 views

    Cain’s defiant question “Am I my brother’s keeper?” denied responsibility for Abel’s life. The gospel calls us instead to love and protect others, with Jesus as the true Keeper.

    Introduction – The Question Everyone Knows Almost everyone has heard the line “Am I my brother’s keeper?” It shows up in political speeches, social campaigns, even sitcom punch lines. It sounds noble—like a call to look after one another. But here’s the surprise: those words were never a command ...read more
