The Tower of Babel

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Here is an opportunity to being the conversation for the sermon on February 14, 2010. The following represents the questions that the sermon team is wrestling with this week:

Scriptures: Genesis 11:1-9; Acts 3:1-13

What is the problem/sin of building the tower?

Is the confusion of languages and the dispersion of people a punishment or a push to fulfill a vision?

How do we experience the challenges of language today?

Is the “gift of tongues” on the day of Pentecost signal the reversal of the “curse of Babel?”

What does the gift of tongues on the day of Pentecost and in the early church represent? How do we experience this gift today?
