Join us as we begin a new series called "Villains of the Faith". In this series, we will examine bad examples from the Bible to gain wisdom and learn what not to do. Obtaining virtue from their vices. This week, we're focusing on "The Way of Cain". The Bible is full of good examples to emulate, but it also contains bad examples that we should examine to find warnings and wisdom."The Way of Cain" is characterized by a high view of self and a low view of God. It manifests in three ways:📌Defiant Sin: This is knowingly and intentionally disobeying God's Word and refusing to repent.📌Destructive Relationships: These relationships are marked by a lack of respect, love, and emotional health, which can cause emotional, mental, and spiritual damage. A low view of God always results in a low view of others.📌Distorted Worship: This occurs when we offer God what we want instead of what He asks for. It is a high view of our own preferences, placing ourselves at the center rather than God.The problem with Cain wasn't his sacrifice, but his inability to respond to God's sacrifice. Worship is a response to who God is and what He has done. Just as Jesus was the once-for-all sacrifice, we are called to be a living sacrifice in response. When we truly understand this, we can shift our focus from ourselves to God.✨Don't forget to like and subscribe! ✨#cainandabel #villain #bible #sundaymessage #churchonline
