Deal With Your Anger, Part 1

Genesis 4

This week, we launch a new series called “Deck Chairs on the Titanic.” This series delves into the lives of biblical characters who faced disastrous outcomes, akin to rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. Today, we unpack the story of Cain and Abel, focusing on the crucial role of faith—or the lack thereof—in their offerings to God.

As Pastor Colin guides us through Genesis Chapter 4, you’ll gain deeper insights into why Abel’s offering was accepted while Cain’s was not, drawing a parallel to God’s revelations about sacrifices. Join us to understand how these ancient lessons remain relevant and learn how to avoid our own plunge into disaster by aligning with God’s teachings.

100:00:00,120 –> 00:00:05,360The difference between Kane and200:00:05,360 –> 00:00:09,340Abel is that Kane was not a man of faith.300:00:09,340 –> 00:00:13,480That was the difference. He believed in God400:00:13,480 –> 00:00:17,719he came to worship and he made an offering500:00:17,719 –> 00:00:21,260but he did not, according to the New Testament,600:00:21,260 –> 00:00:26,440have faith. Welcome to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. I’m David Pick.700:00:26,440 –> 00:00:30,520Glad you could be with us today. Today we’re beginning a new series800:00:30,520 –> 00:00:35,020called Deck Chairs on the Titanic. Colin, before we get into Kane and Abel,900:00:35,020 –> 00:00:38,680let’s talk about what this series is all about.1000:00:38,680 –> 00:00:43,320It is about people in the Bible who took a plunge to disaster1100:00:43,320 –> 00:00:46,400and hence why it’s called Deck Chairs on the Titanic.1200:00:46,400 –> 00:00:50,000Steve, I have always found the story of the Titanic to be1300:00:50,000 –> 00:00:54,820absolutely fascinating. All the warning signs that were1400:00:55,320 –> 00:01:01,060ignored and the danger signals that were avoided.1500:01:01,060 –> 00:01:06,160And in these stories, we’re going to look at the first of them in the life of Kane today,1600:01:06,160 –> 00:01:10,160there are very clear signals of danger1700:01:10,160 –> 00:01:14,580that this man just ignores. He’s running on, he closes his eyes1800:01:14,580 –> 00:01:17,739to these things and then he takes the plunge to disaster.1900:01:17,739 –> 00:01:21,099We can learn from this. And these stories are in the scriptures2000:01:21,940 –> 00:01:25,820for our instruction and for our wisdom so that we learn what it is to live a godly life.2100:01:28,160 –> 00:01:31,519So join us if you can in Genesis Chapter 4.여2200:01:31,519 –> 00:01:35,080As we begin the message, deal with your anger. Here’s Colin.2300:01:35,080 –> 00:01:38,580Well, the holidays are well and truly past, the cold is now setting in2400:01:38,580 –> 00:01:42,379and it wouldn’t be nice if we could all go off on a long cruise.2500:01:42,379 –> 00:01:46,480I mean magnificent scenery, endless food,2600:01:46,480 –> 00:01:49,959deck chairs to sit on while the music plays, what could possibly be better?2700:01:50,199 –> 00:01:54,239And, of course, the name of the ship happens to be the Titanic.2800:01:54,239 –> 00:01:57,260Well, over the next few weeks we’re going to look2900:01:57,260 –> 00:02:00,099at the stories of eight characters in the Bible3000:02:00,099 –> 00:02:03,199who took a plunge to disaster.3100:02:03,199 –> 00:02:05,779Like the passengers on the Titanic,3200:02:05,779 –> 00:02:08,919their lives were sailing along and it seemed that everything was well.3300:02:09,399 –> 00:02:12,820But there were problems hidden beneath the surface3400:02:12,820 –> 00:02:15,339and all of a sudden3500:02:15,339 –> 00:02:18,080they encountered disaster and went down.3600:02:18,820 –> 00:02:20,559And you’ll be interested to note3700:02:20,559 –> 00:02:23,100that one of them was a prophet.3800:02:23,100 –> 00:02:25,559One of them was a priest.3900:02:25,559 –> 00:02:27,740One of them was a king4000:02:27,740 –> 00:02:31,559and one of them knew Jesus Christ personally.4100:02:31,580 –> 00:02:35,300But they all went down.4200:02:35,300 –> 00:02:37,899God has many different ways of teaching us.4300:02:37,899 –> 00:02:40,139Sometimes we learn from the wise.4400:02:40,139 –> 00:02:44,119We’re to look up to them and to learn from their example.4500:02:44,119 –> 00:02:47,600But it’s also possible to learn from fools,4600:02:47,860 –> 00:02:51,220to see where they made wrong turnings4700:02:51,220 –> 00:02:53,259and to learn to avoid their mistakes.4800:02:53,259 –> 00:02:54,679That’s why our series is called4900:02:54,679 –> 00:02:59,500How to Avoid a Plunge to Disaster.5000:02:59,500 –> 00:03:02,539Now Jesus spoke about this in the Sermon on the Mount.5100:03:02,539 –> 00:03:04,919You remember that at one point he said5200:03:04,919 –> 00:03:07,020that there would be people on the last day5300:03:07,020 –> 00:03:09,380who would say, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name5400:03:09,380 –> 00:03:11,259and do many mighty works?5500:03:11,259 –> 00:03:13,300And Jesus said I will say to them,5600:03:13,300 –> 00:03:17,039depart from me, I never knew you.5700:03:17,080 –> 00:03:19,179I find that one of their most disturbing verses5800:03:19,179 –> 00:03:20,039in all of the Bible.5900:03:20,039 –> 00:03:22,759There will be some people6000:03:22,759 –> 00:03:24,039who have gone through their lives6100:03:24,039 –> 00:03:25,800thinking that everything was right.6200:03:26,960 –> 00:03:29,080And on the last day Jesus will say to them,6300:03:29,080 –> 00:03:31,059I never knew you.6400:03:32,600 –> 00:03:34,240Now it is our business to make sure6500:03:34,240 –> 00:03:36,440that we are not among them.6600:03:36,440 –> 00:03:37,880So will you open your Bibles with me6700:03:37,880 –> 00:03:39,779at Genesis in chapter four,6800:03:39,779 –> 00:03:42,139where we have the story of Cain,6900:03:42,139 –> 00:03:44,139a man who went to worship.7000:03:44,139 –> 00:03:45,679And I want to tell his story really7100:03:45,740 –> 00:03:48,899by painting four scenes from his life.7200:03:49,860 –> 00:03:54,779And scene one is in the maternity ward.7300:03:54,779 –> 00:03:56,740Now what must it have been like for Eve?7400:03:56,740 –> 00:03:57,860Can you imagine this?7500:03:57,860 –> 00:04:00,259The first woman, the first pregnancy,7600:04:00,259 –> 00:04:01,880and the first baby to be born7700:04:01,880 –> 00:04:04,399in all of human history.7800:04:04,399 –> 00:04:05,539Remember Adam and Eve7900:04:05,539 –> 00:04:07,440are now outside of the garden8000:04:07,440 –> 00:04:09,160at this point in the story.8100:04:09,160 –> 00:04:12,259They were living under a terrible judgment from God,8200:04:12,259 –> 00:04:14,539but God had also given them hope8300:04:14,539 –> 00:04:16,440in a great promise.8400:04:16,440 –> 00:04:18,019A Deliverer would be born.8500:04:18,019 –> 00:04:20,339God had said so back there in the garden.8600:04:20,339 –> 00:04:21,820An offspring of the woman8700:04:21,820 –> 00:04:24,459would inflict a fatal wound8800:04:24,459 –> 00:04:26,480on the great enemy, the serpent8900:04:26,480 –> 00:04:30,559who had brought such devastation to their world.9000:04:31,500 –> 00:04:34,380Of course, Eve had never experienced a birth before.9100:04:34,380 –> 00:04:36,619She may have seen something in the animal kingdom,9200:04:36,619 –> 00:04:38,000but from our own experience,9300:04:38,000 –> 00:04:40,660she had no idea what to expect9400:04:40,660 –> 00:04:43,500and of course, neither did her husband.9500:04:43,500 –> 00:04:46,019So I guess one day she just,9600:04:46,019 –> 00:04:47,959in the morning, began to feel sick.9700:04:49,640 –> 00:04:52,420And a few weeks later, she began to show9800:04:53,760 –> 00:04:56,679and nine months later, she finds herself seized9900:04:56,679 –> 00:04:59,880with violent pains and her hapless husband10000:04:59,880 –> 00:05:02,640hasn’t got the faintest idea what to do.10100:05:04,760 –> 00:05:06,440Well, anyway, somehow they got through that10200:05:06,440 –> 00:05:08,399and before long, she had a wonderful,10300:05:08,399 –> 00:05:13,239bright, bouncing baby boy holding him in her arms.10400:05:13,239 –> 00:05:14,959And she was absolutely convinced10500:05:14,959 –> 00:05:16,239from the moment that he was born10600:05:16,239 –> 00:05:20,079that this baby was indeed the deliverer10700:05:20,079 –> 00:05:22,079that God had spoken about.10800:05:22,079 –> 00:05:25,079You see what she says in chapter 4 in verse 1 of Genesis.10900:05:25,079 –> 00:05:28,200With the help of the Lord I brought forth a man.11000:05:28,200 –> 00:05:31,000Literally translated, what she said was11100:05:31,000 –> 00:05:36,000I have brought forth a man child, the Lord.11200:05:36,739 –> 00:05:38,579In other words, as she looked at this baby,11300:05:38,579 –> 00:05:40,079she was absolutely convinced11400:05:40,079 –> 00:05:42,519that this was indeed the promised deliverer,11500:05:42,519 –> 00:05:45,359that in some sense the Lord had come in this baby11600:05:45,359 –> 00:05:46,739and that this was the one11700:05:46,739 –> 00:05:50,100on whom the hopes for all the future rested.11800:05:51,079 –> 00:05:53,459She must have been overjoyed.11900:05:53,459 –> 00:05:55,000Not only had she given birth12000:05:55,000 –> 00:05:57,640to the first baby in human history12100:05:57,640 –> 00:05:59,700but she was absolutely convinced12200:05:59,700 –> 00:06:03,399that she had given birth to the savior of the world.12300:06:04,980 –> 00:06:05,820Well, I have no doubt12400:06:05,820 –> 00:06:08,000that she worshipped the Groundie Walktime.12500:06:08,000 –> 00:06:09,380What do you think?12600:06:10,380 –> 00:06:14,040And talk about high expectations for Cain growing up.12700:06:14,880 –> 00:06:15,720I mean, if your mother thinks12800:06:15,720 –> 00:06:17,660you’re the savior of the world.12900:06:19,899 –> 00:06:22,660Cain grew up with his mother looking to him13000:06:22,660 –> 00:06:25,339as being the one who would master evil13100:06:25,339 –> 00:06:27,100and put everything right.13200:06:28,519 –> 00:06:31,739Sometime later another little bundle of life came along13300:06:31,739 –> 00:06:33,459and they called him Abel.13400:06:33,459 –> 00:06:35,820Now we don’t know how old Cain was13500:06:35,820 –> 00:06:38,140when his brother was born into the world13600:06:38,220 –> 00:06:40,220but I think we can reasonably assume13700:06:40,220 –> 00:06:42,380that like all older brothers he had a somewhat13800:06:42,380 –> 00:06:45,140mixed reaction to this new arrival13900:06:45,140 –> 00:06:47,000and attraction on the scene.14000:06:47,000 –> 00:06:49,820I mean he, after all, was competition,14100:06:49,820 –> 00:06:53,640a little upstart who needed to be kept in his place,14200:06:53,640 –> 00:06:57,640a rival who would need to learn who was boss.14300:06:57,640 –> 00:07:00,739After all, Cain was the firstborn.14400:07:01,660 –> 00:07:04,739And sure enough Cain grew up to be a great success.14500:07:04,739 –> 00:07:06,660He was a high achiever.14600:07:06,660 –> 00:07:10,160He took up agriculture, became a successful farmer14700:07:10,160 –> 00:07:11,940and he was good at it.14800:07:11,940 –> 00:07:15,019God blessed him and his farm produced14900:07:15,019 –> 00:07:18,779marvelous, marvelous harvests of crops.15000:07:19,739 –> 00:07:23,420That brings us to scene two, the altar.15100:07:23,420 –> 00:07:27,179We’re told about a day when the family came to worship.15200:07:27,179 –> 00:07:28,420Now the first family, of course,15300:07:28,420 –> 00:07:30,619did not have a church to go to15400:07:30,619 –> 00:07:33,339but they would have had almost certainly an altar.15500:07:33,339 –> 00:07:35,859It may simply have been a pile of stones15600:07:35,859 –> 00:07:39,880but someplace where they met with God.15700:07:39,880 –> 00:07:41,700And I don’t suppose, like most families today,15800:07:41,700 –> 00:07:43,839that they had a van to travel in15900:07:43,839 –> 00:07:46,140but they certainly would have made the journey16000:07:46,140 –> 00:07:47,420from the cave to the altar16100:07:47,420 –> 00:07:50,220and so I’m assuming that they had all the same hassles16200:07:50,220 –> 00:07:52,380that every family seems to experience16300:07:52,380 –> 00:07:56,380in getting a family to go and to do something together.16400:07:57,940 –> 00:07:59,660Kean!16500:07:59,660 –> 00:08:02,660Will you get out of the shower?16600:08:02,660 –> 00:08:05,899You’ve been there for 15 minutes and Abel’s still waiting.16700:08:05,899 –> 00:08:07,619And don’t flick him with the towel16800:08:07,619 –> 00:08:09,959when you come out either the way you do.16900:08:11,040 –> 00:08:14,839Well I’ve no doubt that Kean had decided17000:08:14,839 –> 00:08:16,660that his little brother was a pain in the neck17100:08:16,660 –> 00:08:18,040long before they got to worship.17200:08:18,040 –> 00:08:19,019What do you think?17300:08:19,959 –> 00:08:21,700And quite possibly he was.17400:08:23,480 –> 00:08:26,000Anyway, eventually they arrived at the place of worship.17500:08:26,000 –> 00:08:28,760The two boys had brought an offering which was a good thing.17600:08:28,760 –> 00:08:32,280Kean had a crate of every kind of fruit17700:08:32,340 –> 00:08:33,979and vegetable that you could imagine.17800:08:33,979 –> 00:08:38,599And Abel had brought some animals taken from his flock.17900:08:38,599 –> 00:08:40,700They came to worship, they made their offerings,18000:08:40,700 –> 00:08:43,119and then we are told in verse five18100:08:43,119 –> 00:08:47,739the Lord looked with favour on Abel and his offering,18200:08:47,739 –> 00:08:49,840but on Kean and his offering,18300:08:49,840 –> 00:08:52,219the Lord did not look with favour.18400:08:53,320 –> 00:08:56,780Now we’re not specifically told how the family knew18500:08:57,679 –> 00:08:59,679that God looked with favour on the one offering18600:08:59,679 –> 00:09:01,500and not on the other.18700:09:01,500 –> 00:09:05,140There is a tradition that fire came down18800:09:05,140 –> 00:09:07,539and burned up Abel’s sacrifice18900:09:07,539 –> 00:09:09,460just as God’s fire came down19000:09:09,460 –> 00:09:13,219and burned up Elijah’s sacrifice on Mount Carmel.19100:09:13,219 –> 00:09:17,219I think that that is very likely, in fact, to be the case,19200:09:17,219 –> 00:09:19,380because particularly in the earlier part19300:09:19,380 –> 00:09:22,260of the Old Testament, there are many, many examples19400:09:22,260 –> 00:09:24,940of God’s fire coming down from heaven19500:09:24,940 –> 00:09:28,460and consuming the sacrifice.19600:09:28,460 –> 00:09:31,340Now if that was indeed the case,19700:09:31,340 –> 00:09:34,580then the sin must’ve been quite extraordinary.19800:09:34,580 –> 00:09:36,299Imagine it with me.19900:09:36,299 –> 00:09:38,859The family arrives at the altar.20000:09:39,940 –> 00:09:42,640”All right,’ says Adam to Abel,20100:09:42,640 –> 00:09:45,919”you’re the youngest, so you can go first.20200:09:46,859 –> 00:09:48,219”Now remember that this
