When Sin is Crouching at the Door (10 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 4:6-16
If you have your Bible, turn to Genesis chapter 4. I've entitled the message, When Sin is Crouching at the Door. In Genesis chapter 4, we read the true account of Cain and Abel, the two sons of Adam and Eve. This is what it says, beginning in verse 3: "So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. And Abel, on his part, also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. The LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. Then the LORD said to Cain, 'Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up. And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.'"

On a weekend in-between the two weeks of witnessing, we did a safari. You know, if you're going to go to Africa, that's the time to do a safari. So, we went on this safari, and we were in the middle of dangerous territory, and so, we were behind an electric fence so that the animals couldn't get us. And then, we would go out on these safaris. We knew that there are lots of animals out there, lions and tigers and bears, oh my. I don't know about the bears. They have bears out there? They don't have bears, do they, Dwayne? Just lions and tigers and other things, rhinos and stuff like that. You knew that you didn't want to get near the water because you have the crocodiles there in the water and all those anima ...
