Who's the main character?

October 17, 2021 • Brian Watts • Genesis 4

If your life was cast as a movie, who would be the main character? In Genesis 4 there is a contrast between two lines or generations of people. The one line has great accomplishments. They build cities and contribute a lot to the arts, sciences, technology and advancement. But they turn away from God and live for themselves. The 2nd line of people is known for one thing: they worship the Lord. They live with God at the center. Two lines...one is known for the worship of God and the other for worship of self.

Are you a blessing to others? Prior to Genesis 12, the world has been spiraling downward in rebellion against God. Everything seems rather hopeless but in chapter 12 we see that God has a plan and His plan is a people through whom He will bless the world. If you are a follower of Christ, God's blessings are not meant to terminate on you. You are blessed by God to be a blessing to the world.

What are you building with your life? All of us are part of a building project. What are you building? Genesis 11 is about a building project. It’s the famous story of the Tower of Babel.
