The Godless Man -- Lonnie Bell
Sermon Series: Genesis
Genesis 4:9-16
24 June 2018

Deep Sheet: Sermon Study Questions
1.  Why does the Holy Spirit want us to take a close look at Cain? Why is this like looking at a mirror for the unbeliever or an old photo and the enemy within for the believer?
2.  How is Cain’s response to God’s call to confess different from that of Adam? Why is it so important that we maintain an attitude of confession towards God?
3.  How does God’s curse on Cain serve as both a comfort and a warning?
4.  What does Cain’s complaint tell us about his heart/thinking? In what ways have you seen the same attitudes or qualities in yourself?
5.  Why does God put a mark on Cain?
6.  What does Cain’s departure from God’s presence communicate about his overall attitude towards God?
7.  How do Cain’s curse and Abel’s blood point us to Christ?
