Cain and Abel: God Sees the Truth — Junior High Sunday School Lesson

Free Junior High Sunday school lesson on Genesis 4:1–16. This reviewed seven-page guide with passage background, timed plan, source study, key, and family page gives a volunteer verse-based material ready to teach. Cain and Abel bring offerings; God warns angry Cain; Cain kills Abel; God questions and judges Cain and restrains revenge. The guide does not invent a reason for God’s regard of Abel’s offering or an appearance for Cain’s mark.

Memory verse: “For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.” 1 John 3:11, KJV. The lesson identifies this as later Scripture, not a line in Genesis 4. It distinguishes the Genesis account from later connections to Christ in Hebrews 12:24 and the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3–4. Read the passage in your preferred translation.
