Message: “SERVICE – The Tower of Babel” from Zach Schlegel

Genesis 10:1-11:26

Introduction

The book of Genesis starts out by introducing us to God - Elohim. “In the beginning, God…” As we look at creation in Genesis 1, we see God’s glory. (Ps. 8)

When we get to Genesis 3 and see Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, it seemed like the song of God’s creation was ruined. They rejected God, and it spirals downward after that. The earth, by chapter 6, is filled with violence and corruption. Then we get to chapter 9, and we find Noah drunk and naked.

Yes, we see God’s glory in creation, and it is breathtaking, but the truth about who God is - His glory – is really put on display in redemption. When is seems like all hope is lost, God alone can pick up the pieces and redeem what we think is unredeemable. He can bring hope when all seems hopeless.

Big Idea: God’s judgement on sin is designed for the nations to experience His blessing.
