The Tower of Babel

Genesis 11:1-9

We have come to the end of our Genesis journey as we look at the “end of the beginning” of God’s people before Abraham. We all know the importance of language and the need to work together in order to get any kind of project done. The Tower of Babel looks like the culmination of human ingenuity at the time, but there is more going on here than just building towers. This text cuts to the heart of mankind: what we are here for, what our purpose in life is along with the idols that we carry in our hearts. Babel would later become the Babylon that was a constant enemy of God’s people, and the place that John in Revelation compares to all and any wicked nation. Join us as we celebrate the Christ who is our strong tower and our shelter in the time of need.
