Stop Giving God Your Leftovers // Danny Batarseh

Sunday, March 01, 2026

Is Jesus worthy of everything in your life, or is He not worthy at all? In this continuing study of Genesis, Danny explores the familiar but challenging story of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-16). He unpacks a crucial question: Why did God accept Abel's offering but reject Cain's? This sermon reveals that God’s preference was not about meat vs. vegetables. It was about the heart behind the gift. Abel gave his "first and finest"—a move of complete faith—while Cain merely offered "some"—an act of convenient ritual. Danny challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we offering God our best "first fruits," or just our leftovers? We explore what it means to be a "living sacrifice" in today's world and the danger of letting resentment and comparison "crouch at the door" of our hearts.
