The Lost World of the Bible: Origins | The Mark of Cain
Understanding Cain and Abel's story reveals our deep-seated human struggles with comparison, accountability, and the choices that shape us.

The Mark of Cain leaves us asking the question, can God do anything about the desires we give into that make a mess of our lives and the world?Series Overview: If you grew up in the United States, you were likely handed a few Bible stories as a child — Adam and Eve, Noah and a boatload of animals, a tower of Babel stretching to the sky. The stories were filled with memorable characters and vivid scenes. In many cases, even though we grew up, our understanding of these ancient stories never did.

Rather, from the very beginning, he goes about setting a plan in place to redeem who we are and restore what we've broken.Series Overview: If you grew up in the United States, you were likely handed a few Bible stories as a child — Adam and Eve, Noah and a boatload of animals, a tower of Babel stretching to the sky.
