Just as we noted the abnormally long lifespans back in Genesis 5, before the Flood, so we can't help but note the shrinking lifespans after the Flood here in Genesis 11.

Send us Fan MailThe Tower of Babel is far more than a story about human pride or the origin of different languages. In this episode, we step into the world of ancient Mesopotamia to explore what towers, cities, and ziggurats meant to the people who first heard Genesis. Together, we'll examine Nimrod's kingdom, the significance of Babylon, and humanity's attempt to create its own gateway to heaven on its own terms. By recovering the ancient context of Genesis 11, we discover that Babel isn't just about a tower—it is about two competing visions of the world: God's kingdom and humanity's relentless desire to build its own.

The Tower of Babel: The Kingdoms We Build Genesis 11 Whose name are we building our lives to make great: our own or God's? The Tower of Babel warns us against trusting our own kingdoms, while Jesus invites us to receive by grace the life and future only He can provide. Sermon Preached by Steve DuBransky on August 2, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church

Back in Genesis 5, we noted that the meanings of the names of the men in the line of the Messiah from Adam to Noah seemed either to lament mankind's fallen condition, or to anticipate the Seed of the woman who would undo the damage of sin. By comparison, the meanings of the names from Shem to Abram seem to be secular in nature.

In this episode, Pastor Biebert talks about the somewhat difficult subject of variant readings in the Scriptures.

Work was meant to be a good thing, but what happens when we look to it to fill our longing for ultimate meaning and purpose in our lives? In this sermon, Dave explores how scripture speaks to these impulses and reveals where our true identity and purpose lies.

5 July 2026 | This week Kenny Owens visits Liberti Northeast to continue our Genesis sermon series in Genesis 11:1-9 on the story of the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel: Building Our Way to God—or Our Own Glory?In this episode, we take a fresh look at the story of the Tower of Babel and uncover a timeless truth about the human heart. The people of Babel weren't simply building a tower—they were trying to create a way to achieve significance, security, and glory on their own terms. Rather than trusting God's design for relationship with Him, they pursued a path fueled by self-reliance and selfish ambition.We'll explore how this ancient story still speaks to us today, challenging the ways we often try to earn God's approval, build our own identity, or make a name for ourselves apart from Him. While humanity has always tried to build its way to God, the beauty of the gospel is that God chose to make the way to us through Jesus Christ.Join us as we discover the contrast between human striving and God's grace, and why true relationship with Him is never built by our efforts—but received through His invitation.

Genesis 11:10 begins the fifth of the ten “accounts” that make up the book of Genesis. In this account Moses takes us from Shem, the son of Noah, to Abram, the great father of faith with whom the Lord would take his gospel revelation to a new level.

This episode is not meant to make any definitive statement about the location of the Tower of Babel. It is merely meant to help listeners to think critically about common assumptions made about its location. It also gives us an opportunity to pray for those who are considered experts in the field of Scripture studies.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

Most of us grew up thinking that getting along was the same as being unified. It is not. Tolerance keeps people in the same room. Unity keeps people moving in the same direction. And that difference is costing churches, families, and teams more than most of us realize. In this message, we open Genesis 11 and discover something surprising in the story of Babel. Those people were not a cautionary tale about pride alone. They were a masterclass in what genuine unity looks like, and what goes wrong when that unity is aimed at the wrong thing. Along the way we look honestly at two kinds of tolerance quietly destroying the church today, and why Jesus Himself called silence in the face of compromise a sin.

What did the Lord's confusion of human language accomplish, apart from the physical result of scattering humanity over the face of the whole earth? What good came out of it?Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

God did not just confuse everyone's language randomly and form the people into new groups arbitrarily. He still let the people taste of his mercy.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

To put a stop to humanity's rebellion against him, the Lord came down and confused their language. Can you imagine the creative potential for a director if this were adapted for the big screen? What did this confusion look like?Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

When God saw what was happening in Shinar, his response almost makes it sound like he is worried that humans might pose a threat to his authority. But God is concerned about humans, not himself. That's why he imposed limitations on their project and abilities.Music Credit: J. S.

Genesis 11 and a look at the Tower of Babel.

Forever Faithful, Genesis 11:10–32Genesis 11:10–32 may appear at first to be a simple genealogy, but this passage is a profound testimony to the faithfulness of God. After Babel, the biblical narrative moves from the nations to the line of Shem leading to Abram, showing how God is preserving His word and advancing His redemptive plan.In this sermon, Ben Smith preaches from Genesis 11:10–32 and shows three encouragements for the church:God is faithful throughout history.God is faithful regardless of man's corruption.God is faithful forever to His word.This passage reminds us that nations rise and fall, the faithful may drift, and truth may be polluted and confused, but God remains faithful to remember His covenants and accomplish His will through His power.Scripture Passage: Genesis 11:10–32Series: GenesisSermon Title: Forever FaithfulTo learn more, visit BenSmithSr.org.

Moses tells us in Genesis 11:5 that “the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built.” How are we supposed to understand expressions like this?Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

What happens when mankind rejects God and focuses all of its attention on itself? That's what we'll find out as we learn about how the Tower of Babel was used to worship the sun, moon, and stars—not to glorify God—and how in return God confounded their language and scattered them across the face of the earth.

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 obedienceThe 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.To learn more, visit BenSmithSr.org.

The building of the enormous tower in the Shinar settlement was also symptomatic of humanity's disobedience toward God. But this tower also betrays the root cause of all their disobedient symptoms.Music Credit: J. S.

[2] And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. [3] And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. [4] Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” [5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. [6] And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. [7] Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” [8] So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. [9] Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
