The Tower of Babel

Morning Service
Jun 29, 2014

When we read the biblical account of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, we may wonder why the structure was a problem - after all, many tall buildings have existed. In this message, we learn that the Tower represented its builders' desire to elevate themselves above God's authority, and that humanity's potential for greatness is linked to our main purpose: to glorify God, not ourselves.

Genesis 11:1-9
