Genesis 4 Cain’s offering

Offerings given wrongly.
Genesis 4:1-7 Cain and Abel born. Both gave offerings. Jealousy ensued. Cain killed Abel.
What was wrong with Cain’s offering?
How did his offering to God affect his relationship to God?
Why is God concerned about offerings?

Leviticus 10:1-3 Nadab and Abihu offered unauthorized fire. Burnt up.
Why was Nadab and Abihu’s punishment so severe?
Was the priest’s offering any different than anyone else’s offering?


Acts 5:1-11 Ananias and Sapphira. Lied about the price of the land. Died.
Where did Annanias and Sapphira go wrong?
Does this lesson mean that God wants us to all give 100% of everything to Him?
Were they seeking recognition from men at a discount?
How important is integrity in the body of Christ?


How to Give rightly.

What do these scriptures tell us about our offering to the Lord?

2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 Give Cheerfully
2 Corinthians 8: 1-5 Give according to one’s ability
Acts 17: 24-25 Give not because God needs it
1 Chronicles 29:6-9 Give willingly
