1 Thess Chap 3 Am I My Brother’s Keeper? With Brenda Gray

2025 May 11th Streaming

“Am I my brother’s keeper?” This was Cain’s response to God after he had killed his brother Abel. (Genesis 4:9)

Cain’s flippant response was evasive and defensive, showing a lack of compassion and accountability for his brother. Spiritually, it represents the danger of denying our impact on others and trying to separate ourselves from the consequences of our actions, or lack of actions.

Quoting from our Sister Rhonda’s message titled, “A Welfare Check Mission! A Revelation of Spiritual Sonship,”

Believers are meant to intertwine with each other, being accountable in sharing resources, whether that be material, physical, or Spiritual talent or Spiritual gifting.

No one wants to wait for anything. Everyone and everything are moving so fast that no one exercises patience in being still. I want it, and I want it now! Whatever “it” may be!

People are “too busy,” or “don’t have time,” to check in on one another!

“Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Philippians 2 3-4 (ESV) says,

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each one of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interest of others.”

Again, I ask the question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

As we continue our discussion in 1 Thessalonians, I trust our Father will give us a deeper revelation of the answer to this question.
