    This is a Christmas message dealing with the destructive power of anger. It can ruin what God wants to do in our lives during the holidays if we do not control it.

    Anger—It Wants You For Christmas GNLCC 12/21/2003 Genesis 4:1-12 Matthew 2:1-12 Text Matthew 2:16-18 We are now in the middle of the Christmas season. We are told "tis the season to be jolly" and "it will be a time of peace and good will to all." But if we would actually look into ...read more

    ...the devil is still your enemy and is doing everything he can to deceive you, pull you down into his traps of sin, and enslave you.

    THE DOOR OF DISOBEDIENCE It is good to be in God’s house during the Christmas Season. Next week, Lord willing, I will bring a message about the birth of Christ. But I am impressed of the Lord to try and finish last weeks message about “lawlessness”, as it relates to God’s Holy Word. This is ...read more

    Heaven's Heroes: Abel Series

     | 8,884 views

    Because Abel believed, he offered a better sacrifice; because he offered a better sacrifice, he obtained righteousness; because he obtained righteousness, he is for all the ages a living voice saying, "Righteousness is by faith."

    [The outline was borrowed from John MacArthur’s Hebrews commentary.] Hebrews 11:4—“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it HE BEING DEATH YET SPEAKETH.” James Moffatt wrote, ...read more

    Are You A Cain?

    Today we consider what led to Cain's act of murder. In that we see the cause, the consequences and the cure of sin. And we have to ask ourselves "Am I A Cain?"

    Introductory Considerations 1. Are you a Cain? 2. I would think and hope that everyone here would quickly be able to answer "of course not", for as we just read, Cain was a murder - in fact the first murderer of all time. 2. How could I even think to ask this question? How could I ever think ...read more

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 74 ratings
     | 12,689 views

    Why was Cain’s offering rejected? We reproduce Cain’s sin when we allow sin to control us and try to produce our own righteousness.

    Genesis 4 - The Sin of Cain 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 ...read more

    When God speaks, He expects us to listen. If we don’t,there will be consequences.

    This isn’t a message where there will be a lot of shouting. Paul said in order to present every man perfect in Christ, you have to do two things: 1. WARN 2. TEACH As children, we don’t usually mind getting taught by our parents. We definitely don’t like warnings. Warnings save our lives. People ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Smith on Jul 22, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 5,119 views

    If Abel’s sacrifice was simply offering God his best, then Jesus Christ died for nothing except as a good example. Then we must agree with the world in saying that there are many sincere ways to God. Many people are sincere, but are sincerely wrong

    Why must it be only through the Blood that we can be saved? Genesis 4:1-12 We are told today that mankind is naturally good at heart. What we need to fix is the environment; through our social policies, our education, and our laws. The Bible clearly tells us this is not the case. Mankind is ...read more
