The Origin Story - What Went Wrong Part IV - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 15 March 2026)

This sermon explores the deep paradox of what it means to be human through the lens of Genesis 4, tracing humanity’s journey from defiance against God to ultimate dependence on His grace. Using the story of Cain and his descendants, it shows how human progress—seen in culture, technology, and society—is inseparably mixed with moral decline, leading to increasing violence and self-exaltation. As reflected in broader biblical themes, Genesis highlights both humanity’s descent into sin and the contrasting hope found in the line of Seth, where people begin to call on the Lord again . Ultimately, the message points to the only true solution for the human condition: not self-improvement or advancement, but humble dependence on God’s grace through Jesus Christ.
