Cain’s Anger

Abel’s offerings pleased the LORD God, but Cain’s did not. (NASB) Genesis 4:4-5 “Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions.  And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering; 5 but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard.  So Cain […]

Cain’s Offering

Sin Exposes ~ Christ Covers

Adam and Eve had been tempted and succumbed to the temptation.  God calls that sin.  They had sinned and their nakedness was exposed. Whenever you sin, you expose your nakedness and your need to be covered.  Only God’s provision through His Son’s sacrifice can adequately cover you. Your sin and mine is against God and […]
