In the second part of our Simplify series, "Faith", Pastor Kenny Nix shares how the picture of our lives is filled with sin and grace. The gospel is a beautiful picture of God's love for us. He shows us time and time again that His way is the only true way; our way will lead to sin becoming the master of our lives.  In the message, Cain was jealous that Able's sacrifice was accepted by God and his was not. God knew Cain's heart and that he was not offering his best to God. God loved Cain and even warned him that sin wouid gain control if he didn't turn away. Cain allowed his sin to manifest in such a way that it took control of every aspect of his life. He murdered his brother and his sin ultimately caused separtion between he and God.  God gave Cain opportunities to confess his sin, as He does with you and I. Cain refused to repent and ask God to forgive him. Even in Cain's rebellion and sin, God never stopped loving him. This is the picture of the gospel.   Hebrews 11:4, Genesis 4:1-16 Kenny Nix, Pastor
