Redeemer Lutheran Church, Huntington Beach, CA is hosting a Breakfast Bible Study on Saturday, July 16 at 9:00 am led by Pastor Mark Jasa.  The story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 shows us the reality of this broken world: denial of faith, murder, death, curses, and covering up of sin. We see the work of humankind trying to gain their salvation by their work, like Cain’s offering, and it was Abel, the type of Christ, who was the innocent sacrifice. Breakfast starts at 8:30 am in the Fellowship Hall followed by the presentation at 9:00 am. RSVP to the Church office at churchoffice@redeemer-lutheran.net or call 714-846-6330. For those who prefer Zoom, a link will be posted on our website under Events, Upcoming Events.
