“Abel is in Genesis (the account of Abel's death is in Genesis).”
A Protestant critique of Father Mike’s claim that the Catholic Old Testament (including the Apocrypha/Deuterocanon) has always been accepted as fully canonical. The speaker argues the earliest authoritative lists and Jesus’ usage point to the Hebrew canon (the 66-book Protestant canon), treating the Apocrypha as useful but non‑authoritative.
“Now Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let's go out to the field.' While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.”
Dr. Taryn N. Tarver preaches about two kinds of fear — the reverential fear (awe) of the Lord that enables wisdom and access to God, and the paralyzing, learned fears that hinder progress. Using Cain and Abel as a case study, she calls listeners to recognize destructive patterns, take responsibility, 'rule over' sin, repent, and prepare for spiritual elevation by cultivating reverence, obedience, and discipline.
“We see in Genesis 4, murder comes. Cain kills Abel.”
A Christmas morning message explaining why Jesus came — the incarnation as God entering human history to save, restore identity, and defeat Satan — and urging listeners to move from merely acknowledging Christ's birth to allowing Christ to be formed, matured, and Lord in their lives. The sermon highlights the meaning of the wise men's gifts, the importance of passing faith to children, submission to Christ's principles, generosity, and practical next steps for spiritual growth and church participation.
“Now Cain talked with Abel... and Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.”
Sermon teaching on the condition of the world across three eras—past, present, and future—calling Christians to recognize signs of moral and spiritual decline, to be prepared for the coming tribulation and rapture, and to ensure salvation through the full gospel (Christ's death, burial and resurrection), repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and receiving the Holy Spirit.
