Turning from Idolatry

About the Plan

What kind of people are we becoming?

In Genesis 11, the people of Babel tried to build a city and a tower to make a name for themselves. They wanted safety, control, greatness, and sameness on their own terms. But God disrupted their rebellion, scattered them across the earth, and opened the way for his greater purpose: a diverse people filling the world with his name.

This 5-day plan invites us to consider the danger of self-sufficient ambition, the gift of diversity, the call to leave our towers of safety, and the surprising grace of God.

Above all, we will look to Jesus Christ, who did not climb upward to grasp greatness, but humbled himself and went to the cross. As his people, we are not called to make our own names great. We are called to bear his name among the nations.
