TODAY’S SCRIPTURE<br />
Genesis 4:1-15<br />
1 Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She<br />
said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to<br />
his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of<br />
time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 But Abel<br />
brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor<br />
on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So<br />
Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why<br />
are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be<br />
accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to<br />
have you, but you must master it. ” 8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out<br />
to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed<br />
him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know, ” he<br />
replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen!<br />
Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and<br />
driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from<br />
your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You<br />
will be a restless wanderer on the earth. ” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is<br />
more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden<br />
from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me<br />
will kill me.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so; if anyone kills Cain , he will suffer<br />
vengeance seven times over. ” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who<br />
found him would kill him.<br />

SUMMER SERMON SERIES<br />
“Seeds” A seed is all about a new beginning with beautiful potential. In Genesis<br />
we will see the beginning of God’s creation as well as the establishment of God’s<br />
promised blessings to the world which are passed through the generations of<br />
Genesis and are available to all of us today. As we reflect on Genesis, consider<br />
what blessings God desires to begin and grow in your life.<br />
