Genesis 11:1-9
from Mercy Spokane: Sermons Hosted by Rev. Dr. Tommy Allen
"Babel" Dr. Tommy Allen In this sermon we look at the famous Tower of Babel story and what it reveals about the human heart. Instead of spreading across the earth as God commanded, humanity bands together to build a city and a tower in an attempt to “make a name” for themselves. Their ambition looks impressive from below, but in Genesis, the whole scene becomes a kind of divine satire—God has to “come down” just to see their great tower. We explore the pride behind Babel, the mercy behind God’s intervention, and how the scattering of languages becomes the backdrop for something greater. In Jesus, the deepest divisions of Babel begin to be reversed, and the desire to make a name for ourselves is replaced by the gift of receiving a name from Him. 10/26/25
