How do you approach God—with humility or on your own terms? In this episode, Stephen Davey examines the story of Cain and Abel, two brothers who brought very different offerings to the Lord. Abel followed God's command, offering a lamb, while Cain decided to bring the fruit of his own labor. The difference between these two offerings wasn't just about content—it was about the heart behind the sacrifice. God accepted Abel’s offering, but rejected Cain's. This rejection sparked jealousy, anger, and ultimately, a tragic act of violence.
Explore how the actions of these brothers represent two contrasting ways to approach God: by following His prescribed way or by demanding to do things our own way. Stephen unpacks the lessons we can draw from Cain’s defiance, Abel’s faith, and the dangerous pull of envy. This episode challenges listeners to examine their own approach to worship and consider whether they are following God’s way or making up their own rules. Listen now to discover how the key to approaching God is not through human effort, but through faith in the sacrifice that points to Jesus Christ.
