The Lost World of Genesis 4-5 .... this Sunday at Rainsville First Baptist Church

We are walking through the early chapters of the book of Genesis in 2019 concentrating on the days of Noah.  But before the Flood, there was a world that is quite different than the world we know today.  In the flood, it became "The Lost World."  But in Genesis 4-5 we learn about this world:

* no rain but a climate that was near perfect
* people lived on an average to be over 900 years old
* cities were built, commerce was added, music was discovered

But the prophecy of Genesis 3: 15 was also being lived out...there were two seeds.  We will see this thought again in Genesis 6, but we also will see it this Sunday in Genesis 4-5.  If you read Genesis 4-5 before Sunday (and I hope you will), there are only two speeches in these chapters and it appears to be by the same man.  At least, a man with the same name.  But the two speeches reflect the two "seeds" of mankind and the two "ways" man must choose to go....The Way of Cain or The Way of Seth.

This Sunday night I continue the series on "Restore Thy Church" as continue to look at the subject of Church Discipline.
