Psalm 148
'Praise Him You Heavens': Great in Power - Hillsong 'My Jesus, My Saviour': My Jesus My Saviour Lyrics

Genesis 4:1 - 16

Genesis 4:1 - 16
Abel - Shepherd
Cain - Crop farmer
God regarded Abel over Cain for a reason.
The Law cannot be applied retroactively to this situation.
It was about Cain's attitude.
Cain's Anger - He was visibly upset.

What was Cain's attitude?
- God knew what it was.
- He was encouraging Cain to take the right path.

The Bible - God's word
 - A warning! Be on your guard. Sin is at your door.

vs 9
God asked a rhetorical question.
- He gave Cain a chance to come to Him in repentance.
- Cain straight out lied to God!
 - "Am I my brother's keeper?"
  - An insult directed in Abel's direction.
 - There was no repentence in Cain's heart.

Hosea 14: 1 - 2

We are called to have a repentent attitude.
Sin is lurking at the door.

God's Punishment of Cain.
- An Extension of the Judgement on Adam and Eve.
Cain is selfish, but God shows him mercy and grace.
- No where is that mercy and grace shown than at the Cross.

Self centredness
- Sin lurking at the door!

'Third Day - Communion'

Is there an attitude in your life you have to get rid of?

'Your Grace is enough': Chris Tomlin - Your Grace is Enough - Lyrics
