Genesis 4–5: The Way of Cain | The Faith of Abel | The Promised Seed.

In this study, we walk through Genesis 4–5, from the first birth and the first murder to the genealogy that carries the promised seed from Adam to Noah.

We see two brothers raised in the same home who make radically different choices: Abel offers his best in faith and is commended by God (Hebrews 11:4), while Cain brings a lesser offering, refuses God's counsel, and lets unchecked anger lead him into the first murder. Along the way, we look at what Scripture means by "knowing" in marriage, the nature of sacrifice, anger, and the "way of Cain" that Jude warns about and still shows up in false religion today. We trace the lineage of Christ through Genesis 5, bringing us to Noah, and time the deluge.
