Who Are You (Genesis 4:1-16) - June 22, 2025 by OrlandoGrace

Pastor Bill Taylor

This sermon interprets Genesis 4, focusing on the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate human sin and God's mercy. It examines Eve's initial joy and high expectations for Cain, contrasting them with Abel's less celebrated birth. The speaker explains God's "regard" for Abel's offering was due to his heartfelt generosity and offering of "first and best," unlike Cain's resentful attitude. The sermon highlights Cain's subsequent anger as a "second temptation story" mirroring Adam and Eve's fall, emphasizing that unchecked anger and self-pity lead to greater sin, culminating in Abel's murder. Ultimately, the sermon serves as a cautionary tale about the destructive nature of sin and a call for confession, gratitude, and turning to God.Support the showThanks for listening!

Genesis 4 reveals two distinct paths of humanity: the line of Cain, who built a world without God, and the line of Seth, who called upon the Lord's name. Cain's descendants created a civilization marked by defiance, self-glorification, and violence, yet still prospered through God's common grace. In contrast, Seth's line acknowledged God as their source, renewed faith in His promises, and established public worship. This ancient blueprint challenges us to examine whether we're building our lives on self-sufficiency or dependence on God, engaging culture without being captured by it, and making worship central to our existence.

Genesis 4 reveals how sin progresses from desire to destruction through Cain's murder of Abel. God warned Cain that sin was 'crouching at the door,' but Cain yielded to his anger and envy, leading to premeditated murder. This pattern mirrors James 1:14-15, showing how unchecked desires lead to sin and ultimately death. Even in judgment, God showed mercy to Cain. As believers, we can overcome sin's power by drawing near to God, guarding our hearts, trusting Christ, and embracing God's discipline and grace.

Sunday - all welcome for praise, prayer, fellowship and to hear God's Word. Our scripture this week is Genesis 4 and John will be our speaker. We will start a new series entitled "Great Faith Stories" and the theme of the talk is "Cain & Abel". Head to our dedicated sermon series page to go deeper: www.ccsurbiton.org/sermons

What lessons can we learn from the abandoned town of Wittenoom, and why are we destined to make the same mistakes?

The story of Cain and Abel reveals the fundamental difference between approaching God through works versus faith. While Cain brought an offering based on his own efforts, Abel offered a blood sacrifice, demonstrating faith in God's provision for atonement. This ancient account illustrates that God accepts us not based on our performance but through faith in His grace. The New Testament confirms that Abel's offering was more acceptable because it came from faith. This biblical narrative teaches us that justification comes through trusting in God's provision (ultimately fulfilled in Christ) rather than attempting to earn favor through our own merit.

Scripture: Genesis 4:1-16 Key Takeaways: + The Nature of Worship True Religion vs Transactional Ritual Hebrews 11:4 1 John 3:11-13 + The Nature of Sin + The Nature of God Hebrews 12:24

In this message, Pastor Alex explores the deeply human experience of fear—how it shapes our choices, builds walls around our lives, and tempts us to trust ourselves more than God. Drawing from the story of Cain and Jesus' words in Matthew 6, we're invited to consider a counter-cultural way of living: one marked not by self-protection but by trust, gratitude, and surrender. What if the life God offers is less about safety and more about freedom?

The fall didn't end at the garden gate. Sin followed humanity into the next generation, and its consequences turned deadly. In Genesis 4, we meet two brothers. One offers his best to the Lord in faith. The other offers his sacrifice unworthily. One is received. The other is warned to do good and seek to please God. And when that warning is ignored, the first human blood is spilled in anger. But this isn't just a story about jealousy or murder, it's about worship, faith, repentance, and the mercy of a God who still speaks to sinners. Even in judgment, He marks Cain. Not to punish, but to preserve (at least for a time).  The Rev. Chris Matthis, pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 4.  Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you've read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
