CAIN’S WAY
May 23, 1976 Sunday A.M. Val.

Cain, Korah and Baalam–these three represent the basic end-time sin. Their sin is in their relationship to God and to His people and this word explains these sins that are behind the withdrawal and the building of walls in the Body. Here is another excellent word on our relationships.

Scriptures: Gen. 4:1-16; Jude 11; (Mal. ); (Phil. 3:3)

CAIN’S SIN
May 23, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.

THE KINGDOM MOTHER
May 12, 1974 Sunday A.M. SoG.

The Kingdom mother in many ways is no different than any mother in any age or culture. There are, however, ways in which she differs. She must receive help and ministry to be the mother she envisions and to see her children walk with God as she believes that they will. The message preached in the Valley church was direct with impact. The message in South Gate was almost identical in content but very tender and emotional.
