Sermon - Genesis 11:1 - 9 - Many Languages, One Lord by Community Lutheran Church
Human rebellion fractures the world, as vividly illustrated at Babel, where God scattered people by confusing their languages. In the face of that division, the Holy Spirit emerges as a divine force of unity, dramatically showcased at Pentecost when disciples miraculously spoke in different tongues to share the gospel. The Holy Spirit transformed a fearful group into bold witnesses who unite people through the powerful message of Jesus Christ. From the neighbor across the street to the global stage, the Holy Spirit's uniting power calls us to bridge divisions and spread Christ's love across all boundaries. How can we, empowered by the same uniting Spirit, share the gospel today?Pastor Schroeder's Pentecost sermon preached at Faith on June 8, 2025. Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz
The story of the Tower of Babel is one of the most fascinating accounts we can read in the Old Testament. Although it may seem mythical to some, its reality continues to bear bitter fruit in the interpersonal problems of our own day. We read this section of Scripture at Pentecost to remind us that by the Holy Spirit, God is at work reuniting what has previously been divided. The gift of the Spirit is a downpayment on the new reality when heaven and earth will be one—not because we have ascended to heaven by our own ingenuity and strength of will but because the New Jerusalem will come down and God will forever dwell with his people. Join us on Pentecost Sunday for all this and more!

Genesis 11 Michael Lawrence May 19, 2025
Today, we discover how to move from rebellion against God to following Him, from foe to friend, from confusion to blessing…
In this sermon, Pastor Alex explores the deep desires that shape our lives—both the ones within us and the ones we absorb from the world around us. Looking at the story of the Tower of Babel, he invites us to consider how easily our ambitions can lead us away from God's design for community, humility, and trust. From Genesis to Philippians, we're reminded that the way of Jesus isn't about climbing higher, but about laying down our lives in love. In a world chasing success and self-made stories, this message calls us to root ourselves in something deeper—God's transforming grace and the way of the cross.
Twenty six minutes on the trouble we can have talking to other people in the holiday season
Imagine being seventy-five years old. You've settled into life. You know the rhythms of the land. Your family is rooted. You've built a name in your father's house and a future in your own. And then, one day, the God you've never known speaks to you with a command: “Go.” No map. No guarantee. Just a promise: “I will bless...” This is not just the beginning of Abraham's journey, it is another turning point of human history. The dividing line between Babel's curse and a world blessed through one man. And as he walks away from everything familiar, Abram steps into something far more dangerous—and far more divine. The Rev. Prof. Adolph Harstad, professor at Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mankato, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 11 and 12. Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you've read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

The world spoke one language. One voice. One people. And deep down, one fear. God had said, “Fill the earth.” But they said, “Let's stay. Let's build. Let's make a name for ourselves.” They built a tower, not just of bricks, but of pride and fear. They rebelled against God's will and gathered around a monument to self-preservation. Their fear of being scattered would come to pass regardless, as God came down and corrected the course of history. The Rev. Steven Cholak, assistant pastor and chaplain at Our Savior Lutheran Church and School in Houston, TX, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 10. Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book.
