The Tower of Babel

(Sermon preached July 16, 2023) The story of the tower of Babel is found in Genesis 11:1-9.  This sermon is the third in a series titled the Kindom of God: Among Us, Within Us ( a series created for congregations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in anticipation of the General Assembly of the church held in Louisville, July 29 - August 1.)  When we compare the story of the tower of Babel to the story of Pentecost we see that there are two kinds of unity.  Unity based on conformity and uniformity and unity rooted in purpose; unity with diversity.  Note which one God prefers.
