Introduction

We are no strangers to the story in Genesis 11:1-9, there are significant lessons to be learnt if we dig
deep into that account. Amongst many lessons is their rejection of God’s command to go out and be
fruitful and multiply, the people stopped in Shinar and decided to build a city & tower to make a
name for themselves. Their goal was to reach into heaven, achieving deity and worship – that is they
wanted to design their own god – what a motive. The motivation was wrong, and the goal was
misplaced, Arrogance, rebellion, and pride seem to be the root of men’s activities here -hence God
responded by confusing their language & scattering them abroad over the face of all the earth.
However, God gave it to them, and He said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking
the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.” So, we shall be looking at UNITY
this morning and what it can do for us as individuals, families, and a church.
