On Sunday, Matt taught from Genesis 4:1-9 about the progression of sin from Adam and Eve to their sons Cain and Abel. God told Cain that he must rule over his sin, and if he did not, that sin would lead to death. (Listen here.)

Here are some things to think through this week in light of the sermon:

Man's view:
• Make a list of the top five sins you struggle with.
• Of those sins, which ones do you consider small sins? Large sins?
• How seriously do you take those sins in your life?
• How do you deal? (Do you downplay them, dismiss them, get frustrated with them, etc.)

God's view:
• What kinds of sins does God consider small sins? Large sins?
• How seriously does God take sin in comparison to how serious you take sin?
• How does God desire you to deal with sin?
• For the next week, pray that God would give you the strength to actively fight these things in your life.
