The sermon, based on Genesis 11:1-8, examines the story of the Tower of Babel as a reflection of humanity's recurring tendency to seek independence from God. It highlights how the people of Babel, motivated by pride and a desire for security, attempted to build a city and a tower to make a name for themselves, contrary to God's command to spread out and fill the earth. The sermon concludes by challenging the congregation to reconsider modern notions of security and pride, urging a return to dependence on God and humility in recognizing His sovereignty.
