Pentecost: The Great Babel Reversal

May 28, 2023 • Matt Shantz • Genesis 11:1–9, Acts 2:1–11

The tower of Babel was humanity coming together to make a name for themselves by trying to reach up to heaven. The result was God confusing their language and scattering them throughout the earth. This sermon explores how Pentecost is the great Babel reversal.

The Lord Came Down

May 28, 2023 • Eldon Fehr • Genesis 11:1–9, Acts 2:1–6

It has been said that Pentecost – the day that the Holy Spirit was given 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus – was a reversal of The Tower of Babel … and rightly so. Instead of people trying to reach God in their own power and with evil intent – resulting is confusion & disciplinary dispersion, God came down – resulting in a beautiful unity, clarity, and dispersion to the glory of God and for the salvation & blessing of people.

When God Looses Languages

May 28, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Isaak • Genesis 11:1–9, Acts 2:1–9

The story of the tower of Babel in Genesis 11 and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 are fascinating stories on their own. Placed side by side, they reveal in even greater depth the power God has made available to his followers through the filling of the Spirit as we seek to make much of Jesus.
