The City of Cain | Genesis 4:17-26
Now that Cain has been exiled to wander the earth by God, he leaves from the presence of God and in time builds a city. What becomes of his descendants? And is Scripture trying to give us a message in describing this line?
The Judgment of Cain | Genesis 4:6-16
The two brothers, Cain and Abel, have submitted their offerings to God. But God only accepts Abel’s offering and rejects Cain’s. Cain refuses to listen to God and repent. Instead, he starts an argument with his brother and kills him. Like He did with his father Adam, God questions Cain and brings him into judgment. Cain is cursed forever from the presence and fellowship with God.
God Rejects Cain’s Offering | Genesis 4:2-5
After Eve’s disappointment that Cain was not the promised Seed (Messiah/God-Man) we are faced with God’s rejection of Cain. In this teaching we highlight the reasons why God rejected Cain’s offering.
Eve believes she has given birth to the Messiah | Genesis 4:1
After the Fall, the man and his wife are driven from the Garden of Eden to face the harshness of life. Clinging to the promise of God (Genesis 3:15), Eve believes that she has given birth to the Messiah.
The Judgment of ADAM | Genesis 3:17-24
Once God finished pronouncing judgment on the serpent (Satan) and the woman, He finally judged Adam. And once this was done He expelled him from the garden. But, before He cast them out, He clothed them both. Join me to see what is going on by this act.
The Judgment of the Serpent, Satan and the Woman | Genesis 3:8-16
After Adam sinned God brought judgment, beginning with the serpent, then Satan, then the woman and finally Adam. It is important to remember that it was Adam’s sin ALONE that brought the sentence of death. However, they all were punished because they willingly contributed to the downfall of the man in disobedience to God. (See 1 Corinthians 15:21-22; Romans 5:14-18)
The Creation of Woman | Genesis 2:10-25
After God formed a place where the man could have fellowship with Him (the Garden in Eden), we are introduced to two trees – the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam (alone) is commanded not to eat of the tree of knowledge. God then proceeds to allow him to name all of the animals, indicating his authority over the earth. In doing so, he also allows him to see his uniqueness and aloneness. So, He proceeds to make him a suitable companion – Eve.
The Fall of Adam | Genesis 3:1-7
Genesis 1 and 2 gives us a wonderful picture of creation with the Man and the Woman enjoying each other; and most of all, they are in fellowship with God. In chapter 3 we are introduced to their first temptation to disobey God’s commandment concerning the forbidden tree.
The Trees of Life and Knowledge of Good and Evil | Genesis 2:4-9
Genesis 2 looks more closely at the creation of man on the 6th day. And also let’s look a little deeper at the reason for the tree of life and the tree of knowledge and what it meant for Adam. We also take a slight diversion in explaining why good angels never turn bad and bad angels never turn good.
How To Respond To God’s Discipline | 2 Samuel 16:5-13
There are times when we believe that we are being punished by God for our sins or something that we did wrong. So, what should we do?
The Days of Creation 5-7 | Genesis 1:20-2:3
We continue our exploration of the days of Creation with days 5 through 7. The key day is day six, when God creates man. So, we see that everything in creation was done for man. (Psalm 8)
The Days of Creation 1-4 | Genesis 1:3-19
After the chaos of the original creation, God begins the restoration of the universe. But this time, the world is being remade for humanity. So, on the first day He restores the lights of the heavens. On the second day He pulled back the waters of the first worldwide flood (deluge). And on day three He created vegetation. Then on the fourth day God set the stars and planetary bodies.
