    Why was Cain’s sacrifice unacceptable to God?

    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.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain ...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

    Cain and Able: A shepherd and a farmer Theme: Text: Introduction There are numerous names mentioned in the Bible. Some are just names written to show the progress of a generation. Others have a little bit more history and meaning. Then there are the great men. Men we know such as ...read more

    Firstfruits is intended to be about giving, real giving, not God taking it from you, but learning why God wants you to give, how He designed us to be givers….And perhaps the most important teaching about giving is the one we miss the most. Is that God wa

    The story of Cain and Abel's sacrifices is well known but often misinterpreted or misused to prove certain pet theories. This presentation considers how a proper understanding may be gained.

    The Sacrifices of Cain and Abel. Most Bible readers will be aware of the story of Cain and Abel, a story infamous as the first murder in the Biblical narrative. It’s a story that catches the imagination because just one generation after the first sin in the garden of Eden we already have ...read more

    A woman I visited yesterday in hospital asked me "How do I know that I am ACCEPTED BY GOD?" In the OT Abel's offering was ACCEPTED and Cain's offering was not. Why?

    Genesis 4 - "HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM ACCEPTED?" They had behaved badly in class but they were equally disruptive in the detention room, swearing, acting tough and defying anything I said with a smart comment. Unacceptable behaviour. I have never really had a problem with anger, but the closest I ...read more
