Mike Kai: "Self Made vs. God Made"
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Journey Through the Bible: The Tower of Babel, Pride, and God's Intervention (Genesis 1–11) In this message from our Journey Through the Bible series, we walk through some of the most foundational stories in Scripture—from Creation and the Fall to Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. This teaching unpacks how pride became one of the earliest and most dangerous sins in human history, how ambition can drift from godly purpose into self- exaltation, and why God intervened at Babel by confusing languages and scattering humanity across the earth. We explore: • Why God chose 27 key biblical moments to shape the story of redemption • The rise of Nimrod and the ambition behind the Tower of Babel • The difference between godly ambition and pride rooted in self-reliance • How pride leads people off God's path and into spiritual emptiness • The dangers of building systems, ideologies, and "towers" without God • Modern parallels to Babel, including power, control, and self-made identity • Why humility leads to fulfillment and spiritual freedom This message challenges us to ask an honest question: What tower are we building in our own lives? Is it rooted in pride—or surrendered to God? Whether you are new to the Bible or deepening your faith, this teaching will help you see Genesis with fresh clarity and understand how ancient Scripture speaks powerfully to today's world.
