In this sermon on the Tower of Babel, Pastor Chris explores the deep human impulse to build lives of self-reliance—lives shaped by fear, control, and the need to make a name for ourselves. Far from a story about ancient architecture, Babel reveals the patterns we still live in today: the bricks we stack to feel safe, the towers we build to feel significant, and the names we chase to feel seen.

But God’s response is not anger—it’s mercy. Scattering becomes protection. Confusion becomes rescue. And the story bends toward a promise: a God who comes down, who breaks the power of fear, and who gives a name we don’t have to earn. Through Babel, Pentecost, and the hope of the New Jerusalem, this message invites us into the freedom of smallness, trust, and the strong tower of God’s unfailing love.
