    A Path From Babel To Pentecost

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,161 views

    Babel speaks of "confusion", and is a byword for all that is wrong with the world. Only Pentecost could bring order.

    A PATH FROM BABEL TO PENTECOST. Genesis 11:1-9. The height of our tallest building does not necessarily impress God: He has to “come down” even to see it (Genesis 11:5). Babel - to the Babylonians - spoke of ‘the gateway to the gods’: and yet man was there found still aspiring to get where he ...read more

    Hay tiempos cuando Dios tiene un propósito en causar ó permitir division. Medite en este estudio distinto.

    Babel y Pentecostés Gen. 11:1-9 Hch. 2:1-6 1 ¶ Al llegar el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos reunidos en un mismo lugar. 2 Y de repente vino un estruendo del cielo, como si soplara un viento violento, y llenó toda la casa donde estaban sentados. 3 Entonces aparecieron, repartidas entre ...read more

    What Have We Learned?

    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

    Discovering Genesis, Part 12 Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 9, 2011
     | 3,738 views

    Part 12 of this series examines the rebellion at the Tower of Babel with a direct link to the same rebellion that we see in the faith today. Our desire must be to gather to worship the Lord, in everything that we do.

    Discovering Genesis, Part 12 Genesis 11:1-9 Introduction - Last week we concluded the life of Noah and how he found favor with God - His life was one of total submission; and he lived FOR God, not himself - What we saw is that Noah lived and left behind him a legacy for his sons - IMP APP: ...read more

    The TOWER of BABEL represents man’s effort without God. The Builders of Shinar failed in their attempt tried to reach heaven through human effort. We too will fail if we believe that spiritual enlightenment comes through human effort. The only way to k

    The battle for our worship is a battle that draws our flesh and its desire to exert itself over God. The flesh demands that it be stroked, satisfied and honored. The inner part of our being cries out for independence. From our earliest days we desire to do things for ourselves. But we cannot ...read more

    The last in a series exploring the early chapters of Genesis, this three-point expository sermon reveals the motive, the materials, and the mess made at the Tower of Babel.

    A New Beginning (Part 4) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 5/4/14 One of my favorite lines from The Wizard of Oz comes after the Scarecrow tells Dorothy, “I haven’t got a brain… just straw.” Dorothy replies, “How can you talk if you haven't got a ...read more

    The Babylonian Theme Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 23, 2012
     | 5,687 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

    Language barrier separates more people than any wall could have, it is more effective than any national border.

    Genesis 11:1-9-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 for ...read more

    Babble On, Babylon Genesis 11:1-9 Introduction It did not take fallen man long to revert to type. The flood came because man had forgotten God.

    The Tower Of Babel

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2014
     | 17,465 views

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of the breakdown of fellowship, of failure in communication, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements.

    Today’s Scripture shows us how Nimrod, a type of Antichrist, unified humanity using all its knowledge, science and resources to establish a city. By the way… Nimrod’s leadership over the people in his day was the exact opposite of what God commanded.

    On Pentecost, God reversed the process of division and confusion around the tower of Babel, as he poured out his Spirit. The Spirit gave the disciples words of praise and proclamation to speak in languages that all could understand. How does that Spirit work today in our lives and churches?

    [Sermon preached on Pentecost (Whit Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last Tuesday in our Bible study group, we studied the story about the first Christian Pentecost from Acts 2. It was a refreshing experience to hear someone read some verses in Chinese. Most of us could not understand them, ...read more
