The Sin of Humanity: Seeking Significance Apart from God

This sermon explores the fundamental human desire for significance and security independent of God, as illustrated in the story of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9). Despite their efforts to build a great city and tower, humanity learns that doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still wrong. It emphasizes God's judgment against pride and the promise of grace, reminding us that true significance is found only in relation to Him. Through passages like Isaiah and 1 Peter, the message encourages humility and reliance on God’s grace.
