Death comes for everyone. For the Christian, death is the passage into eternal life; but, what about for the Pagan? Alex Denley and Dr. Andrew Jones discuss the problem of death for pagan regimes. Using St. Augustine's "City of God," they discuss Cain's murder of Abel, the founding of the city by violence, the inferior law of violence, and the overturning of death by Christ. If you want to read ahead, next up is Plato's "Republic."
Sermon July 7, 2024 | Rev. Richard Harris | Christ Presbyterian Church in Houston, TX The post The City of Man and the City of God appeared first on Christ Presbyterian Church of Houston.
Much like the Edomites, we occasionally fall short. We are susceptible to the enemy's temptations and addictions, and we may find ourselves trapped in sin. But is it too late for you to return to God? In today's message, Pastor Ken addresses the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness. When you identify your shortcomings, you can repent and seek forgiveness from God through Jesus Christ. God is always willing to forgive and accept you back. Are you willing to identify and work on your flaws?
You might have heard the term "There is a consequence to everything." Even though God has a compassionate heart, when we sin, we must face His judgment. But do you know how to repent for your sins? Pastor Ken explains in today's message, how you can be saved from God's wrath. When you put your faith in Jesus and receive salvation, He gives you the ability to repent and ask the Father for forgiveness for your sins. When you are forgiven for your sins, you are spared from God's anger and punishment!
Have you ever wondered why God has a unique relationship with Israel? You can observe how the Bible talks about God, redeeming the people of Israel from their sins on several occasions. But do you know what other plans He has for Israel? In today's message, Pastor Ken explores the millennial earth. When the judgment period ends, God will build a new earth for you to live on. On the millennial earth, God will make His permanent residence in the temple of Israel, where He will reside forever!

Genesis 4 contains the first murder in human history. It did not take long after the Fall and the Curse for the children of Adam to be enmeshed in sin, pride, disobedience, and false worship. Cain killed Abel, but the Lord still showed him mercy. Lamech, the first bigamist, boasted in killing a young man. The offspring of the woman appears all but lost. But the Lord revealed hope to humanity by giving another offspring, and through it, a better blood.

In this passage, there are two family lines leading to two cities: The city of man is where our earthly citizenship is and the city of God is the heavenly city. And believers must learn to live in both. How do we do that? This passage teaches us to us cling to this faithful God, not only as the way to become citizens of the city of God, but it also to spend our days in this earthly city of man offering ourselves to him. In this message, we learn this by seeing the characteristics of these two cities, then by exploring what it looks like to live in them both.
Worship is why we are here.When God made us, he created us in his image to worship him. Yet, fallen in Adam, we will not worship God rightly unless God makes us worship him rightly.Indeed, this is a major point in Genesis 4. The chapter begins with worship, as Adam's children bring sacrifices to God. And the chapter ends with worship, as Seth calls upon the name of the Lord. And in between, the story of Cain's family line is also about worship . . . if we have eyes to see.This Sunday, we will see how Cain's city-building project is one that exalts the glory of man, not the glory of God. Likewise, the music that fills Genesis 4:17–24 is a testimony to the way humans will sing praise to what they love most. And unless and until God intervenes and gives them a new song, they will sing praises to themselves about themselves.Even for the church of Jesus Christ, we need the grace of God and the truth of his Spirit to lead us to worship God rightly and righteously. And more, we need the Word of God to teach how we are to worship God. Wonderfully, we have already been taught that worship centers on Jesus Christ and is empowered by the Spirit of Truth. Because Father has given us the Son and the Spirit, we can gather in confidence that our praises will be accepted and pleasing to him. And in that confidence, we will gather for worship on Sunday. To prepare for Sunday, please read Genesis 4, Psalm 33, and John 4. These passages come together to teach how to worship God truly. And on Sunday, as the Lord allows, I will look forward to gathering with you to do just that. For His Glory and your joy in Jesus,Pastor David--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Discussion & Response Questions (Genesis 4:17 – 26)What have we seen so far in Genesis 4? How does the place of the story inform the context? What about the people (i.e., the two seeds)?Where does Genesis 4:17–24 take place? How does that inform our understanding of the passage?What does the building of a city indicate? In Scripture, who is renowned for building cities (see Gen. 10:11; 11:4–8; Exod. 1:11; Num. 13:22)? Who is renowned for building altars (Gen. 8:20; Gen. 12:7–8; 22:9; 26:5; 35:7; Exod. 17:5; 24:4)?If city-building is an evidence of unbelief, what do we discover about the other products invented / created in Genesis 4?What does the building of a city suggest about the people in Cain's family? What do their names indicate?What is the story of Lamech? In what ways does this serve as a warning to us?Compare the teaching of Jesus in relationship to Lamech (Matt 18:21-22). What do you notice?What is the Christian ethic when it comes to revenge and justice? Consider Romans 12:17-13:4.The passage finishes with a return to Adam, Eve, and Seth. What does it mean to call upon the name of the Lord? And how does the wickedness of Lamech relate?What do we learn about worship in Genesis 4? And how should we prioritize our lives accordingly?What are you building? And where are you putting your trust?

Ivanka Demchuk - Icon Parallel cities collide, one earthly, the other heavenly, the present age, and the age to come.
Babel is the prototypical city of man: rebellious, prideful, exalting itself against God, and pursuing autonomy and self-sufficiency apart from him. Instead of filling the earth as God commanded, the Babelites settle in one place and try to make a name for themselves. We have capacity to do the exact same thing.

Sermon on Genesis 10:1-11:9 preached on April 2, 2023 by Nathan Lugbill.
Paul Axton preaches - The book of Philemon is a worked example of the implication of the gospel in that the slave/master relationship is displaced in the church by the koinonia of brothers and sisters. Yet this obvious implication of the gospel, worked out in Philemon, is rejected as is indicated in the reception of the book and the continuation of slavery among Christians. This may be because the implication of the gospel is a complete overturning of the city, the law, and the economy of the the city of man. Become a Patron!

Those in authority are gifts from God that we'd probably give back if we could. Whether it's a boss or a policeman, a church leader or a family member, there is probably someone in your life you find it hard to submit to. In this series 'Remarkable Christianity,' Stephen shows us from Paul's letter to Titus why submission to authority is a testimony the world finds hard to ignore.
