When Unity Becomes Rebellion — Genesis 11:1-9 | One Nation United Against God
What does an ancient tower have to do with your prayer life, your finances, your politics, and the church you attend?
Everything.
In Genesis 11, humanity unites around a single building project — one language, one people, one mission. And from the outside, it looked like progress. It looked like the kingdom moving forward. But God came down and scattered the whole thing.
Why? Because unity without God’s direction isn’t strength — it’s organized rebellion.
In this message, Pastor Douglas Humphrey walks through Genesis 11:1-9 and exposes the four towers every generation tries to build: the Wealth Tower, the Comfort Tower, the Power Tower, and the Tribal Tower. Each one is built with religious bricks. Each one is called ministry. And God dismantles every single one.
This is not a comfortable sermon. But it might be the most important one you hear this year.
Three questions to sit with after you watch:
- What am I building — and whose name is on it?
- What am I afraid of losing — and is that fear driving my faith?
- Am I receiving God as He reveals Himself — or as I’ve redesigned Him to be?
