The document summarizes a biblical story about the Tower of Babel. It tells of how the whole world originally spoke one language, but the people decided to build a tower to reach heaven. God saw this and confused their languages, scattering them across the earth. The document reflects on who God is and humanity's identity and purpose as created in God's image to fill and rule over the earth. It encourages living according to God's kingdom rather than being imprisoned by fear.

iLEAD_Nehemiah 11_Reordering Your PrioritiesStephen Palm
Our priorities often clash with God’s priorities for our life. Moving towards God’s priorities often requires us to move away from our personal goals and agendas. In this chapter we see that for 60 years, the returned exiles have built a comfortable life in the villages outside of Jerusalem. But God’s priority is that Jerusalem would once again be populated and secure. An empty city is a vulnerable city. But who will choose to give up all that they have to pursue God’s best? Their challenge is our challenge today!
Part 4/4 in my "In the Beginning" Series I did in 2012. By far, one of my favorite sermons to preach and started me thinking about culture and the impact it has on us.

Genesis 11:1-9 describes early man's attempt to rebel against God by creating a religious humanism and economic collectivization. God judged man's attempts at the Tower of Babel and He will judge again, as prophesied in Revelation 17 & 18, future attempts at globalization.
How is the Tower of Babel relevant to us today? Why did God judge the builders of the city and tower of Babel? What is the significance of Shem's genealogy?
The futile intent of men to make a reputation for themselves and enter eternity.

Conclusion: Isa 2:10-12
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
5. Now the whole world had one language and a
common speech.As people moved eastward, they
found a plain in Shinar and settled there.They said to
each other,“Come, let’s make bricks and bake them
thoroughly.”They used brick instead of stone, and tar
for mortar.Then they said,“Come let us build ourselves
a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that
we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will
be scattered over the face of the earth.”
Genesis 11:1-4
9. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower
the people were building.The Lord said,“If as one people
speaking the same language they have begun to do this,
then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so
they will not understand each other.”
Genesis 11:5-9
10. So the Lord scattered them from there over all the
earth, and they stopped building the city.That is why it
was called Babel - because there the Lord confused the
language of the whole world. From there the Lord
scattered them over the face of the earth.
12. The most dangerous stories we make up are the
narratives that diminish our inherent worthiness.
Brené Brown
13. God created humankind in his
own image, in the image of God
he created them, male and
female he created them. God
blessed them and said to them,
“Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the
earth and subdue it. Rule over
the fish of the sea and the birds
of the air and every creature
that moves on the ground.
Gen. 1:27-28
14. Freedom + Mission
The gospel doesn’t put God’s people on hold.
The gospel is heaven, but it is also mission.
Jen Pollock Michele
15. Who am I?This or the other?
Am I one person today and another tomorrow?
Am I both at once? In front of others, a hypocrite,
And to myself a contemptible, fretting weakling?
Or is something still in me like a battered army,
running in disorder from a victory already achieved.
Who am I?These lonely questions mock me.
Whoever I am, You know me, I am yours, O God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Who Am I?
