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?

OPEN: I read from a Children’s book the story of Cain and Abel. You know, it’s odd - we ALL seem to know the story about Cain and Abel. But Cain gets more “PRESS” from Scripture than Abel does.

Assault Against The Faithful Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 15, 2021
