The Story of (Your) Life // The Story of Conflict & War

Joel Wood | June 4, 2023 Sometimes things go from bad to worse. That’s the story of Genesis 4. We see how quickly sin spreads and multiplies and creates more pain and hurt in this world. This story shows us how powerful sin is in our lives and in this world. It corrupts, infects, multiplies, and leaves a path of destruction in its wake. This story shows us that all conflict begins in our own sinful hearts. We wage war against other people because a war is already raging in our hearts. As a result, we are called to wage war against the sin within us. And yet we find that the war against sin is not ultimately won by our efforts but by the one who God sends His Son to overcome sin and all its effects.
