True Worship and the Blood that Speaks a Better Word

Genesis 4:1-12 with Hebrews 12:22-24

God’s Gospel promise provokes true worship by faith; but for the
unbelieving – idolatry, jealousy, and murder.

1. Cain and Abel model carnal versus true worship. (Genesis 4:1-7)

2. Cain murders Abel – persecuting God’s redeemed worshiper – and his
blood cries out for justice. (Genesis 4:8-12)

3. Christ’s blood cries out for mercy for us – and He mediates our
true Gospel worship. (Hebrews 12:22-24)
