To Be Human: Posture, Position, and Process

Sermon Recap

Benton continued in our To Be Human series, looking at the bigger question of how do we relate to one another as we look at Genesis 4.

Scripture Reading

Reading: Genesis 4:1–16, Hebrews 12

See It

1. God approaches Cain’s anger with questions. What do God's questions reveal about his character and the way he engages humanity?

2. God warns Cain that sin is crouching at his door. Why does God addresses Cain's anger before addressing his actions? What does this reveal about God's concern for our hearts rather than merely our behavior?

3. What's the connection to Genesis 4 and Hebrews 12? What does Hebrews 12 reveal about how God holds justice and mercy together?

Be It

1. Benton shared about God’s heart for an open posture, a clear position, and an ongoing process. In which of those three areas do you most need to experience transformation, aligning your own heart to God's?

2. Where in your relationships can you lead with an open posture, and where might you need to move to the next step of making your convictions clear?

3. We see God showing patience with his people throughout Genesis. Where is he inviting you to display his patience in your own life toward others?
