In Call on the Name of the Lord (Genesis 4:25–5:32), Pastor Ben Smith shows how God preserves a faithful remnant even as the world grows increasingly rebellious. While Cain’s line multiplied in power and influence, God quietly carried His redemptive promise through Seth’s line—those who called upon the name of the Lord. This sermon encourages believers that God’s will cannot be thwarted, His promises never fail, and He always knows and keeps those who belong to Him.

Cain’s descendants built cities, developed culture, advanced technology, and prospered in ways the world would applaud—yet they lived every moment outside the presence of God. Their story reminds us that success without God is not success at all. Prosperity apart from Him may look impressive, but it cannot satisfy, it cannot save, and it cannot endure. In this episode, we explore how the busyness of building for nothing and the foolish confidence of worldly achievement can silently pull our hearts away from what matters most—and why true purpose is found only in a relationship with Christ.

In “Sin’s Ruinous Rule” (Genesis 4:8–16), Pastor Ben Smith examines Cain’s tragic story to reveal three warning signs of sin’s growing destruction—its mastery, its blindness, and its judgment—while calling believers to repentance and the redeeming grace found only in Jesus Christ.

In Right with God (Genesis 4:1–7), Pastor Ben Smith contrasts the offerings of Cain and Abel to reveal that true acceptance with God comes only through obedience, faith, and submission to His will. This sermon challenges today’s culture of self-worship and calls believers to honor God through a worthy offering and wholehearted surrender to Christ.
