A Tale of Two Cities – Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Summary

The sermon explores the story of Cain and his descendants in Genesis 4, focusing on the consequences of human sin and violence through the narrative of the first murder in biblical history. The passage traces Cain's lineage, highlighting themes of punishment, restlessness, and the escalating cycle of retribution as demonstrated by Lamech's boastful declaration of revenge.
