Matt McCracken is doing a Q&amp;A time with the material in Sunday School and Pastor Steve is preaching a sermon from the past week&#8217;s reading material on Sunday evenings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This week we read the opening chapters of Genesis, John 1, and a Psalm. The message was from Genesis 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Genesis 4 begins with the story of Cain and Abel and their sacrifices. Many have questioned why God rejected what Cain brought. After all, it was what he had. And shouldn&#8217;t God accept what we have?<\/p>\n<p>The answer can only be found if you dig a little below the surface and find the hidden story.<\/p>\n<p>I thought about putting these on the main church website, but since they are teaching material more than sermons, I felt they might go well here on the Pastor&#8217;s Blog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoy the podcast.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_8521\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-681-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2014\/ThroughTheBible\/20140105CainAndAble_TheHiddenStory.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2014\/ThroughTheBible\/20140105CainAndAble_TheHiddenStory.mp3\">http:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2014\/ThroughTheBible\/20140105CainAndAble_TheHiddenStory.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2014\/ThroughTheBible\/20140105CainAndAble_TheHiddenStory.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/pastorsblog\/?powerpress_pinw=681-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2014\/ThroughTheBible\/20140105CainAndAble_TheHiddenStory.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"20140105CainAndAble_TheHiddenStory.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcast presented the evening of January 5, 2013 at Curwensville Alliance Church In 2014, many people at Curwensville Alliance are going through the Bible &#8212; reading through it.
