     | 2,941 views

    When you feel anger, behave yourself, admit your sin, and depend on Christ.

    For weeks, a couple had been arguing about buying a vehicle. He wanted a truck. She wanted a fast little sports car so she could zip through traffic around town. He would have been satisfied with any old, beat-up old truck, but everything she wanted was way out of their price range. “Look!” she ...read more

    Sin's Blood-Stained Progression

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 18, 2023
     | 1,207 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

    Using the story of Cain and Able this message deals with what happens when we have a mindset of anger.

    In this lesson, we will examine the variety of lessons learned by Adam and Eve, as well as by every parent, from the heartbreaking decisions made by Cain.

    Introduction: We have already seen the impact of Adam’s fatal decision, which plunged mankind into sin, as well as the effect of the curse upon the lives of Adam and Eve.

    Real Fair Dinkum Lowlifes – Reprobates Covered In Greed And Rebellion – Jude 1:11(A) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022
     | 2,075 views

    Jude continues his description of the false teachers who were causing so much havoc. In this message he likens them to Cain, the self-willed, murderous one; and to Korah and his followers who were rebellious. False teaching is destructive.

    REAL FAIR DINKUM LOWLIFES – REPROBATES COVERED IN GREED AND REBELLION – Jude 1:11(a) Jude 1:11 Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay, they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

    The Sad, Sad Decision Of Cain, The Firstborn Of Adam And Eve (Expanded) – Genesis Chapter 4; Jude 1:12 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
     | 2,023 views

    When Jude deals with the ravenous wolves of the false teachers, his thoughts go to three vile people in the Old Testament. Today I am doing only one of those even though we touched on it in the past. Cain is the disobedient and murderous one. We will examine the story in more detail.

    THE SAD, SAD DECISION OF CAIN, THE FIRSTBORN OF ADAM AND EVE (EXPANDED) – GENESIS CHAPTER 4 Jude 1:12 There was an earlier massage that contained Cain and Korah together. Now Cain alone is expanded. Today we look at Cain. {{Jude 1 v 11 “Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for ...read more

    Murder At The Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025
     | 187 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

    Genesis Chapter Four Series

     | 2,426 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

    Envy - A Perverted Love

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 13, 2022
     | 2,102 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.

     | 1,007 views

    From the very the Beginning, GOD had laid out HIS plan of redemption for the problem with sin that mankind suffered. HIS Plan is a real love story that was written in blood on a wooden cross in Jerusalem almost 2,000 years ago and revealed in Genesis 5. What's in a name?

    Cain And Abel Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024
     | 1,783 views

    Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

    As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

    I Will Not Be Wasted

     | 3,654 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

     | 777 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.
