    How we relate to God affects how we relate to others: Because Cain didn't have a right relationship with God, his relationship with his brother Abel was not right either.

    For a number of years, one of my favorite TV shows was "Murder, She Wrote" with Angela Lansbury. Now, I could never figure out how so many murders could happen in that little New England village of Cabot Cove, but there was something captivating about trying to figure out "who done it" before the ...read more

    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

    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

    What makes the "Better Sacrifice?"

    The two brothers walked slowly across the field, each one lost in his own thoughts and each one asking the same question, Why? The question keep coming back to both of them. What made the difference. Why was one acceptable and one not? Was one better then the other? And the more they thought ...read more

    Cain and Abel brought sacrifices to God. One was accepted, the other was not. Find out what God wants you to bring to Him.

    Last week we looked at how Satan mixed the truth of what God said with a lie and deceived Adam and Eve. The original sin was disobedience, as long as they never ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they were operating in obedience to God. As soon as they partook of that tree, they ...read more

    Second in a series of sermons based on Hebrews 11. Abel’s sacrifce is lauded not because of its content as much as the faith it took to give it to God.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
