    Foreign Language

    Tower of Babel narrative gives us a good idea of what should be foreign language to believers today.

    Foreign Language Genesis 11:1-9 Intro: Say a few words in another language. Why do we have so many languages today? Why do we have to take Spanish, German, French, Greek, Hebrew? Why can’t we all just speak one language? In our text today we are going to see how it happened. ...read more

    Towers That Crumble

     | 10,022 views

    Christians often try to find acceptance and recognition by building towers for the world to admire instead of finding acceptance and love in Jesus Christ.

    INTRODUCTION When I was in ninth grade, I vividly remember getting my first report card back. I slowly worked my eyes down the paper. A, A, A, and A. I had got a 4.0 Grade Point Average! I was pretty excited, but as soon as the excitement hit me, another thought crept into my mind. I thought ...read more

    The Folly Of Man

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Aug 2, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,520 views

    As farcical as was the building of the tower of Babel, it is not one wit more so than for any man to attempt to gain heaven by his own efforts or good works.

    “THE FOLLY OF MAN” "Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. "Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick ...read more

    The Tower Of Babel

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Aug 26, 2003
    based on 84 ratings
     | 20,438 views

    The Tower of Babel is a life parable telling of the dangers of the Spirit of the Age - Poverty of Spirituality and Pride of Life - and the chaos it brings which only Christ’s redemption can right.

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of breakdown of fellowship, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings’ failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements and determined to be the source of their own security. That was the root ...read more

    When Towers Fall . . .

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Sep 6, 2003
    based on 58 ratings
     | 5,068 views

    When towers fall, pride is always involved. "I" is in the middle of pride and sin, but the cross of Christ is "I" crossed out. This sermon shows what pride does to us, God’s reaction to pride, and five steps to avoid pride.

    INTRO For thousands of years, man has continually tried to proudly pat himself on the back for his knowledge and acheivements. For example, when the Titanic was built, it was billed as the “unsinkable ship,” with one person stating that “God Himself could not sink her,” yet it was just an ...read more

    This is the first in a four part series called "On Purpose." God said by using these 4 principles the people of Babylon would succeed in doing whatever they planned.

    Building Towers

    Contributed by Timothy Archer on Jan 29, 2004
    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,839 views

    We learn from the story of the Tower of Babel the futility of trying to make a name for ourselves.

    I. Making a name We see in the first chapters of Genesis that people basically chose one of two paths. A few of them humbled themselves and followed God, trusting in him and his protection. Such were the descendents of Seth. The other group was principally the descendents of Cain. These ...read more

    God intervenes in the course of mankind only when man reaches a point of disobedience, disregard and damage.

    * Tomorrow, we will celebrate 235 years since some great men signed a document which could have been their very death warrant. * That document begins with “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable ...read more

    What have we learned in the 10 years since the 9-11 attackes on America?

    “What have We Learned?” Gen. 11:1-9; Prov. 18:10 It seems like such an ancient, “Once upon a time” sort of story – an egotistical nation so advanced and industrious that she thinks she can do what she wants. So she builds a tower to represent her dominion over the ...read more

    The Babylonian Theme Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 23, 2012
     | 5,682 views

    Babylon represents mankind uniting to assert themselves against God; it is about who has the power and control, God or man?

    The Babylonian Theme 1. Some things go back a long way: A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in ...read more

    The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

    (The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

    This was no ordinary building project. It is an illustration of humankind’s tendency to focus our unity on building monuments to our own greatness instead of using it to follow God’s plan.
