1. What does this show me about God?

   • God warns Cain that sin is crouching at his door before anything happens. What does that show about how God treats us?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • Cain answers God's question with another question. What are the ways people dodge a question instead of lying outright?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Where have you been dodging a question at home? What will you answer straight this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who do you know who is angry at somebody? What could you say to them?
