    TELLS US HOW TO OVERCOME THE REPROACH OF SIN

    The Saddest Word TEXT: Genesis 4:7 “Sin Croucheth at the door” What is the saddest word in the Bible and in human speech?

    Marked Men

    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

    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

    The touch of God changes us, particularly those set aside for ministry.

    February 16, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis There are two realities that flow directly from our understanding that there is a God and I’m not God. The first is that we owe God everything. The second is that we have to behave toward God and other human beings in the way He intends. The new atheist, ...read more

    Second in the Heroes of Faith series from Hebrews 11, this sermon is about Abel.

    Chapter 1 Abel It was by faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God said he was pleased with the gifts Abel offered and called Abel a good man because of his faith. Abel died, but through his faith he is still speaking. — Hebrews 11:4 NCV My dad used to have a poster on ...read more

    Examines what acceptable worship looks like through the offerings presented by Cain and Abel.

    THE WORSHIP GOD ACCEPTS > Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain [did]. By this he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through this.

    Our heart attitude is what God seeks in whatever we offer to Him. When what we do is unacceptable, God will give us a chance to resubmit.

    Cain hated his brother as long as he was Abel! Cain’s parents disobeyed God and introduced sin into the world, and Cain became the first murderer. Sin’s beginning in Genesis 3 appeared small; our first parents broke a seemingly insignificant command of God. But in so doing, they rebelled against ...read more

    As Cain and Abel's offerings are examined we see that Cain wanted to worship his way instead of God's way.

    Who Was Cain's Wife?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 6, 2015
     | 7,915 views

    Some have adopted the viewpoint that Cain's wife belonged to a separate group of people with little or no connection with Adam and Eve. However, the Gospel message requires that all have descended from Adam and Eve..

    Why is it important? Many skeptics have claimed that, for Cain to find a wife, there must have been other ‘races’ of people on the Earth who were not descendants of Adam and Eve. To many people, this question is a stumbling block to accepting the creation account in Genesis and its ...read more
