Summary

The sermon uses the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate that God accepts the offering based on the heart and motive of the giver, not just the physical offering itself. The speaker emphasizes that external religious acts or miracles are insufficient if the heart is corrupt or motivated by pride. True acceptance comes from a right heart, mirroring the voluntary and sincere devotion shown by Abel.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Why God rejected Cain's offeringGod accepted Abel himself and his offering first, teaching us that if our heart and personal relationships are not right, our outward religious offerings are not accepted.

Good works do not guarantee a right heartMany people cast out demons, prophesy, and perform miracles in Jesus' name, yet will be rejected by the Lord because sin remains in their hearts.

Disobedience and punishment in leadershipEven when God uses a leader like Moses to bless others, disobedience and wrong actions are still judged and disciplined by God.

Man accepted while work is burnedScripture shows instances where a person is saved or accepted by God, but their poor works or service are burned up like wood, hay, and stubble.

Jealousy among leadersJust as Cain was jealous of Abel and the Pharisees were jealous of Jesus' popularity, older servants of God can struggle with jealousy when younger brothers are anointed.

The mark of a spiritual fatherA true spiritual father is never jealous of his son going ahead of him, just as uneducated parents delight in their children becoming graduates and professionals.

A spiritual man is never jealousA person who truly sees their heavenly Father and the body of Christ will sincerely rejoice in another believer's blessings rather than wishing calamity upon them.

The Spirit of Christ desires greater worksJesus told His disciples that they would do greater works than Him, demonstrating that spiritual leaders should want their followers to surpass them.John 14:12

Jealousy leads to murder and slanderJealousy was the first sin outside Eden, leading Cain to kill Abel; today, believers commit spiritual murder by tearing down others' reputations with their tongues.

Focusing on the black dotHuman nature, poisoned by Satan the accuser, tends to ignore ninety-nine good things about a person and concentrate entirely on one minor failure.

The heart reflected on the faceJust as water reflects a face, a person's inner attitude, whether discouraged, proud, or bitter, is ultimately visible on their face and in their smile.Proverbs 27:19

Sin crouching at the doorSin and wrong attitudes toward others wait like a tiger at the door, but under the new covenant of grace, we are commanded and empowered to master sin.
