  5. Cain and Abel - Brothers Genesis 4: 1 - 11 • Cain = brought forth • Abel = vapor

  6. The Boys • Cain = farmer • Abel = shepherd Offering time: • God respected Abel • God did not respect Cain

  7. A Heart Issue • Abel’s Attitude: “could not give God enough” - MUST give God his very best! • Cain’s Attitude: “Good enough” for God - just do my DUTY make Him happy

  8. The Godly Man • R = Redeemed Psalms 107: 2 • E = Equipped II Tim 3: 17 • S = Servant Psalms 116: 16 • P = Passionate I Cor 14: 1 • E = Effective James 5 : 16 • C = Christ centered Isaiah 26: 3 • T = Teachable Psalms 27: 11

  9. There could have been a different ending to Cain & Abel • In just 11 verses - “brother” mentioned 8 times • Gen 4: 7 Make the right choice • Master sin • Be accountable before the ground cries out

  10. Romans 12 : 1& 2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
