    Am I My Brother's Keeper?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 13, 2025
     | 470 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

    Character Study Of Cain Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 20, 2025
     | 932 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

     | 821 views

    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

    Envy - A Perverted Love

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 13, 2022
     | 2,166 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

     | 2,481 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

    You've Been Marked!

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,984 views

    God marked Cain for protection after Cain killed his brother Abel. The mark on Cain is a sign of a cursed spirit, yet at the same time a symbol of God’s mercy, an assurance for us that wherever we have been, whatever we have become, God still loves us, God still longs for us.

    There were these 2 brothers who asked their parents, “Why can’t we live in that beautiful garden with all kinds of animals and fruit-bearing trees?”. The mother replied, “Because when your dad and I were young, we were foolish and disobeyed its creator. We were expelled from that place created ...read more

    The Monster Of Rejection

    Our mind is a battleground. The battle to become more like Jesus takes place in our mind. There are mind monsters that we must confront. It is time to turn on the light!

    I. Introduction The Scare Factory illustrated in Monsters Inc. is still in full effect.

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

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022
     | 2,194 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
     | 2,121 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

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

    Cain & Abel Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 11, 2022
     | 3,143 views

    We can properly approach God as seen through 1) The Characters (Gen. 4:1-12), 2) The Crime (Gen. 4:3-8) and finally 3) The Consequences (Gen. 4:9-16).

    Genesis 4:1-16. [4:1] Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD." [2] And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. [3] In the course of time Cain brought to ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,543 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

    I Will Not Be Wasted

     | 3,818 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
