01.23.22 -The Origins of God's World
Jan 23, 2022 • Pastor Nate Wright
This morning we return to our sermon series “The Origins of God’s World”, studying through the first eleven chapters of Genesis.
Today we will dig into genesis 4:1-15, the story of Adam and Eve’s first children Cain and Abel. The famous story tells the tale of God accepting the sacrifice of Abel but rejecting the offering brought by Cain and the sin that wells up in Cain’s heart and causes him to kill his brother.
Why did God have regard for Abel and his sacrifice and NOT Cain’s? Why did Cain over react so wildly? What can we learn about God, his world and ourselves as we work our way through?
