In this study, we take our first look at the infamous biblical account of Cain and Abel, which includes the first recorded murder. We'll see the Holy Spirit contrast the beleiver with the stubborn rebel who refuses to repent, and we'll learn about the kind of worship God desires from His people. Finally, we'll be reminded how precious God's conviction of our sins truly is.
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
- When you approach God in a devotional time or by participating in a church worship service, do you give any thought to preparing your heart? What does that look like, practically, for you?
- In what ways do you see the pattern of Cain's anger and refusal to take responsibility for his sins reflected in society today?
- We know God needs nothing, but what do you believe God wants from you?
- What are some practical ways we can 'rule over' sin in our lives, as God instructed Cain to do?
- What are some signs that we might be falling into the trap of
self-righteousness like Cain, rather than embracing true repentance?
