East of Eden (Genesis 4:1-16) [Jay Thomas]

 â€¢ Jay Thomas â€¢ Series: East of Eden

This Sunday, we kick off the next section in our series in Genesis - chapters 4-11. Now that we've looked at all the layers of Genesis 1-3, it is time to see how the story plays out East of Eden, in exile. Unfortunately, the curses of Genesis 3 begin to weave into the story of Adam and Eve and their descendants. Genesis 4:1-16 is the story of sin's first actions, involving distrust in God, envy, lies, and even murder. The ugliness of sin is on full display and yet...yet...grace is still at work and will have the final word, even in the story of Cain and Abel.
