In this episode of All for the Kingdom, Ben Smith, Sr. preaches from Genesis 11:1–9 on “The Deadly Pride of Man.”

Genesis 11 records the rebellion at Babel, where the people sought to build a city, make a name for themselves, and resist the command of God. This sermon shows that Babel was not merely a story about a tower, but a warning about the deadly pride that draws the human heart away from God.

This message considers:

- The pride of ability

- The danger of elevating preference over obedience

- The pride of self-sufficiency

- The desire to control worship apart from God

- The pride of mastery

- God’s sovereign judgment over human rebellion

- The call to repentance, humility, and obedience

The Tower of Babel reminds us that human ability is a gift from God, not a replacement for God. Man is not master over his mind, his life, or his future. The faithful response is to humble ourselves before the living God and live.
