    A look at why Abel’s sacrifice was better than Cain’s.

    In 1944, Hallmark adopted the slogan “When you care enough to send the very best.” Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain ...read more

    Cain Killed His Brother

    The objective of this message is to remind us that violence is a derivative of an internal problem; not the so called external variables.

    In our text this morning; We find the introduction of violence to the human realm. It did not take very long following the fall of man. In chapter 1 and 2 we are greeted by the creation of life. In chapter 3 we find the fall of man and the alteration of life. But in chapter 4 we find the taking of ...read more

    This is the first in a series of CSI messages and looks at what we can learn from Cain and Abel

    It should have brought them together but instead it tore them apart. They both worshipped the same God, they had both offered their God a sacrifice and that is where it seemed to fall apart. Cain was a farmer, he toiled in the dirt and raised crops, his younger brother was a shepherd, and he ...read more

    Unconfessed sin will lead to the destruction of life and eternal separation from God the Father.

    Sin comes about by breaking one of God’s Laws. For example, we have committed a sinful act when: 1. we worship something or someone other than God 2. we worship images representing God 3. we take the name of the LORD in vain 4. we break the Sabbath 5. we dishonor our father and/or mother 6. we ...read more

    The true meaning of worshipping in Spirit and Truth as shown in the story of Cain and Abel

    I think we’ve all done it at least one. We get up just a short while before the Sunday morning service, rush to get our clothes on, and zoom out the door we go. Many of you with children know how time consuming just getting the children ready to head out the door can be. I can note many times when ...read more

    What's The Significance Of A Shepherd? Series

    This message looks at the significance of the shepherd and how it is essential to understanding God’s plan for church leadership.

    The image of the shepherd seems somewhat irrelevant to modern Americans. Without a doubt this makes it quite difficult to communicate God’s plan for church leadership. The picture of the shepherd fails to connect with us in the modern church. Shepherds would have been as common to the original ...read more

    Marked Men

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 22, 2009

    Cain’s problem is ours: we are fearful and anxious if someone else seems to be getting ahead of us, and our anxiety is the root of our violence. But in God’s curse there is a mercy and a clue for brotherliness.

    For today’s message we are going back to the earliest moments in human history to look at one of the most basic issues in human life. We are looking at the way we feel about differences, and what we do about that feeling. The Book of Genesis, in its opening stories, teaches us about what it means ...read more

    Escaping Temptations

     | 3,588 views

    We see Cain yielding to sin and falling bait to it just because of his heart condition. He did not take any stand to rule over it or run from it. He just yielded. For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the

    Opening illustration: When we sin we often do so with the futile hope that we shall obtain the maximum amount of pleasure at the minimum penalty. It seldom works that way, however. I once heard the story of a man and his wife who decided to go to a drive-in movie. They thought the price was too ...read more
