Genesis 11:1–9, "The Towers We Build"

The people at Babel saw their own accomplishments as the greatest good in this life and so they started to build a worthless tower in order to "make a name for themselves."  Frequently, in our own lives we look to our accomplishments, wealth, and possessions for a sense of meaning and value.  For those who find their value, meaning, and security in what God has done for them in Christ - they need never worry that these things may be taken from them.  In Christ, an eternal name has been made for them - "redeemed."
