Genesis 4:1-16 Post-Fall Sin
Brian Pikkula | August 5, 2018
In this sermon we consider a Biblical response to the rash of mass shootings and celebrity suicides by looking to the first sin recorded after the Fall of Humanity: Cain's murder of his brother Abel. In this sermon we see the inadequacy of Cain's offering, his unrepentant spirit, his sin, and yet the grace of God towards him despite his guilt.
