In today's sermon, Pastor Dmitry explores the story of Cain and Abel to highlight the destructive power of sin, emphasizing that alienation from God leads to deeper divisions among humanity. He contrasts the faith of Abel, which was accepted by God, with Cain's lack of faith and excuses, illustrating how sin manifests in jealousy, deception, and ultimately violence. The impact of this alienation is threefold: separation from purpose, estrangement from others, and disconnection from God, leading to a life of wandering and despair. Finally, Pastor Dmitry points to Jesus as the ultimate reconciler who restores relationships and brings redemption, encouraging everyone to return to communion with God and one another.
