Cain And Abel Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024

Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

A Non-Repayable Debt Series

All people owe a non-repayable debt to the Lord. If He dismisses our debt, then we should extend the same courtesy to any of our debtors. If Jesus forgives us; we should forgive others. Our debt is forgiven through faith in Christ.
