Define Babylon

In this powerful exploration of faith, we journey from ancient Babylon to the heart of the gospel message. The story of Abraham and Isaac serves as a pivotal moment, revealing God's true nature not as a demanding deity requiring sacrifice, but as a loving Father who provides. This narrative challenges us to reconsider our understanding of obedience and faith. Are we, like Abraham, still struggling with counterfeit pictures of God? The message invites us to experience the relief and joy of realizing that our salvation doesn't depend on our works or sacrifices, but on God's grace. It encourages us to 'taste again for the first time' the liberating truth that it's not about us, but all about Jesus. This fresh perspective on a familiar story can transform our relationship with God, moving us from a place of striving to one of restful trust.ChaptersChapter 1: Understanding Babylon: Pride and Works 0:00 - 10:00This chapter introduces the concept of Babylon and its characteristics of pride and works-based salvation.Chapter 2: God's True Nature: Grace and Sacrifice 10:00 - 20:00This chapter reveals God's true nature through the story of Abraham and Isaac, emphasising God's grace and self-sacrifice.Chapter 3: Babylon in Our Lives: Pride and Self-Reliance 20:00 - 30:00This chapter discusses how Babylonian thinking can infiltrate our personal and religious lives.Chapter 4: The Everlasting Gospel: Freedom from Babylon 30:00 - 40:00This chapter focuses on the everlasting gospel and how it frees us from Babylonian thinking.Chapter 5: Living in God's Kingdom of Grace 40:00 - 50:00This chapter concludes with how to live confidently in God's grace and outside of Babylonian thinking.
