Genesis 11| Pastor Greg
This message begins in Genesis 11, where humanity—speaking one language—settles to build a city and a tower “to make a name” and avoid scattering; defying God’s command to fill the earth. God comes down, confuses their language, and scatters them; this is both judgment and mercy, slowing united rebellion and still accomplishing His plan. Babel/Babylon is shown as a biblical picture of man-centered religion and power, with a brief caution that modern tech and shared language can serve either pride or good. The chapter’s genealogy then narrows from Shem to Abram, setting up Genesis 12: God calls Abram out and promises to bless all families through him. The main point: God brings down human pride and establishes His own way to bless the world.
