Known by Love, Not by Hate: Cain, the Cross, and the Mark of True Children (1 John 3:10–16)
This sermon teaches that two main marks reveal a true child of God: no longer practicing sin as a way of life and supernaturally loving others as Christ has loved us. It contrasts murderous, self-centered hatred like Cain’s—expressed today through gossip, accusation, and discord—with Christ’s sacrificial love that laid down His life while we were still His enemies, and calls believers to embody that same other-centered, practical, cross-shaped love toward brothers and sisters.

About In the Word
In The Word is the teaching ministry of Gold Country Calvary Chapel in Grass Valley, CA, with a strong emphasis on the whole counsel of God’s Word. Scripture is taught book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse—covering both Old and New Testaments. Areas of focus include doctrine (the essential principles of Scripture), prophecy (future events), theology (the nature of God), Christology (the person and work of Christ), pneumatology (the Holy Spirit), soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (the purpose of the church), and eschatology (the future of the church). Pastor Mike Warren has studied prophecy for more than 40 years, and his ongoing series, Prophecy Updates, continues to provide timely and relevant insight. Listeners can explore the six-part series recorded years ago—which remains strikingly applicable today—as well as more recent updates that highlight how prophecy is unfolding in real time. Topics include Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38 & 39, the rapture, the deception of the antichrist, and other key end-times prophecies. In addition, Pastor Mike’s Doctrine Study provides a clear, systematic overview of the essential principles of Scripture—foundational truths for every believer. These teachings are being used by both laypeople and ministers around the world to strengthen faith and equip the church.
