Pride, Faith, and Building What Lasts - Genesis 11:1–13:4 | January 5, 2025

Join Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Alyssa Bream as they explore one of the Bible's most striking contrasts: the Tower of Babel and God's call to Abraham. This episode examines how pride leads to independence while humility positions us for God's blessing.

Scripture Focus: Genesis 11:1–13:4 - The Tower of Babel's prideful unity transitions to God's call of Abraham, one humble man who would become a blessing to all nations.

In This Episode:

• The Tower of Babel as a picture of human pride and independence from God
• Why unity without humility is dangerous
• The power of one obedient person versus a prideful multitude
• The difference between building stages versus building altars
• How faith becomes a blessing when it leads to action
• Modern towers we build: technology, power, titles, and wealth

Key Quote: "Choose altars over towers because God will take care of your name if you take care of your obedience."
