City of Ruins: Enoch

by Scott Ancarrow

Enoch (Cain's City) 

Genesis 4:1-26

The City and our search for Security 

Genesis 4:12 

Genesis 4:17 

“Where am I trying to build my way out of what only God can heal?”

The City and the Culture-Making

Genesis 4:18-24

Where is my building creating beauty? Where is it compounding brokenness? 

From Building Culture and Security to Calling Upon God 

Genesis 4:25-26

Cain builds a city to ease the ache of exile; God invites us to stop building our own cover and call upon the one who meets us with mercy—and who alone can turn exile into home.
