Genesis 4:1-5_Cain and Abel's Offerings (Part One)

In Genesis 4, the humans' story is passed to the next generation with the births of Cain and Abel. One is a farmer, the other a shepherd. At some point, these brothers choose to make offerings to the LORD. One offering is regarded, the other is not. This story raises several questions: Where might they have gotten the idea to offer sacrifices? Why might one offering have been disregarded? Why might God have regarded the other? How might God's approval have impacted the Scriptural story had things gone another way? I invite you to join me in this first part episode as we explore and discuss some possible answers.
