Genesis 11:1-32
GenesisThis sermon explores the human desire to "make a name for ourselves" as seen in the Tower of Babel, where humanity's unified pride led to God's judgment and the confusion of languages. It contrasts this with the story of Abram, who had no name, land, or hope, but through whom God promised to make a great name, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The sermon concludes by highlighting Jesus as the "name above every name," emphasizing that true significance comes not from human effort or ambition, but from humbling oneself and trusting in God's redemptive work.
