This sermon explores Genesis 10 and 11 to trace the origins of human pride and rebellion. The central focus is the Tower of Babel, which the speaker presents as the ultimate example of humanity's desire for "self-glory" and "self-exaltation" ("let us make us a name"). This prideful unity, which directly defied God's command to scatter, resulted in God's judgment. However, the sermon concludes by showing that even out of this judgment, God's redemptive plan immediately continued through the faithful line of Shem, leading to Abraham.
