In this week’s sermon, Pastor Jacob Michalski uses the biblical narrative in Genesis 4 to illustrate the human tendency towards anger, revenge, and sin, contrasting it with God’s call for forgiveness and mercy. He relates the story of Cain’s murder of Abel and the subsequent legacy of violence through Cain’s descendant Lamech to modern-day struggles with anger and retaliation. Pastor Jacob then shifts to Jesus’ teachings on forgiveness, emphasizing the need to forgive “77 times” as a reversal of Lamech’s vow of vengeance.
