Sermon for Pentecost, AD 2026

This is the same story which gets repeated throughout history. Whether it’s a person, like Nimrod, or an idea, like the tower and the city, man in his sin always tries to form some kind of greatness without God. Like the people of Babel turned away from the teaching of Noah, so it always begins with the current authority being the enemy. We first throw off the 4th commandment authority God has put over us, and then everyone is promised a golden age, a perfect future which we create.
