Sin Toward the Other
This week, we will gather to worship our Lord with hearts that are yielded to him and revel in his love. Pastor Jim Renke will lead us through Genesis 4:1-9. We will notice that sin became a dominant factor for Cain and we still battle it deep within ourselves today. Find out how God provides a path to freedom.
