    What happens when passions are not kept under control

    Where is your Brother Genesis 4:1-16 The questions that Adam and Eve probably asked when they looked back to where they were and where they are now was probably where do we go from here and what will happen next. When Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden, God didn’t abandon them. He ...read more

    A look at why Abel’s sacrifice was better than Cain’s.

    In 1944, Hallmark adopted the slogan “When you care enough to send the very best.” Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain ...read more

    The objective of this message is to remind us that violence is a derivative of an internal problem; not the so called external variables.

    In our text this morning; We find the introduction of violence to the human realm. It did not take very long following the fall of man. In chapter 1 and 2 we are greeted by the creation of life. In chapter 3 we find the fall of man and the alteration of life. But in chapter 4 we find the taking of ...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

    What's The Significance Of A Shepherd? Series

    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

    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

    We are people who live in community. Cain didn’t realize that and saw his brother as competition rather than a companion.

    Genesis 4:1-16 “Where is Your Brother/Sister/Neighbor” INTRODUCTION The neighborhood is changing and expanding.

    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.

    Maybe one of the most disturbing passages in the Bible is the story that tells how a man committed the first murder against his own brother. Just the very horror and evil of such an act is disturbing to say the least. It is a story that chills us to our

    1 CAIN WANTED TO DENY THAT HUMAN NATURE IS EVIL HE FELT HE WAS BASICALLY GOOD Cain wanted to believe that he was basically a “good Joe.” He did what was morally right. He didn’t “drink, smoke or chew, or run with girls that do.” No one would want to admit that they are basically a bad person. We ...read more

    This message is for the first week of Advent. Our church is doing the Advent Conspiracy and this week we look at Worshipping Fully.

    Have you ever given any thought to the story of Cain and Abel? Perhaps its the fact that today we were taking up a special offering - or maybe its because of our topic this morning, but I’ve had the story of Cain and Abel in my mind all week... This mornings topic is ‘Worship Fully’ - It’s the ...read more
