Synopsis: Just as some harmony returns to Adam and Eve, the full truth of the fall is laid open to them. The first natural born man, Cain, envies his younger brother because Abel's worship is honest, heartfelt, and acceptable to God while Cain's is selfish, half-hearted, and disingenuous. The antithesis is revealed to be that the wicked envy the righteous because of what they have – God's favor. Like his spiritual father, Cain murders and lies, becoming a wanderer on earth while Abel's blood cries for justice from the soil. Sermon Text: Genesis 4:1-16

Synopsis: What happens when godly masculine strength unites with a godly helpmate? In marriage couples are called to live out their roles—husbands as loving, sacrificial covenant heads and wives as respectful, submissive helpers—in dependence on divine grace. A "fruitful" marriage, then, produces spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23), glorifies God, endures trials through faith, and bears lasting kingdom impact, extending beyond the couple to their families and communities. This union, rooted in divine grace and sovereignty, reflects the gospel—husbands as loving, sacrificial covenant heads and wives as respectful, submissive helpers—transforming imperfect relationships into powerful testimonies of redemption. Sermon Text: 1 Peter 3:3-7
