Listen "Consequences, Covenants, and Course-Correction (Genesis 4–6)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Present On Purpose, we pick up with Cain and Abel and read forward into Genesis 6 to see how our choices confirm our covenant. We unpack God’s warning to Cain—“sin is crouching at the door”—and why anger and dejection are red flags in the soil of our hearts. We trace how rebellion travels through generations (Cain → Lamech), yet God’s love and mercy still break in—even marking Cain for protection. Finally, we sit with Genesis 6:5–8: God’s grief over pervasive evil…and the hope that “Noah found favor.”Why God accepted Abel’s offering but not Cain’s (heart posture > performance)What “angry” and “dejected” reveal about pride, accountability, and rebellionHow sin seeds consequences across generations—and how mercy still meets usWhy obedience still matters in corrupt cultures (Noah as a blueprint)Reflection prompts: Where is God warning me? How do I handle correction? Am I living like Cain or building like Noah?Genesis 4:1–17, 4:23–26; Genesis 5 (overview); Genesis 6:1–8If this blessed you, follow the show, rate it, and share it with a friend. Let’s be a community that chooses obedience—and eats the fruit of good consequences.—Keywords: Genesis, Cain and Abel, offerings, anger, dejection, rebellion, mercy, generational patterns, Noah, obedience, covenant, heart posture, spiritual growth, faith formationWhat you’ll learnScripture
