A Faith That En-Abels Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 11, 2021

By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?

27. Romans Chapter 6 Verses 12-18 - Messages In Romans – Dead To Self And Alive To Christ; From Bondage To Freedom – But Who Is Master Over You? – Message 27 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025

This message covers important material. Our lives must be committed to Christ and we DO NOT keep sinning just because grace covers that. That is evil. We are to be slaves to righteousness because we have been set free. However some have a foot in both camps. Is that possible?

This sermon examines God's question in Genesis 3:9: "Where are you?" It looks at where are Adam and Eve in relation to God. It looks at where we are, and where God can be found. This sermon also uses the analogy of Hide and Seek to advance the thought.
