Title:
Howard C. Wilkinson - "The Tower of Babel" (February 23, 1958)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 1:11. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 26:16.

  • This sermon connects the Tower of Babel story to similar events in the present -- sending satellites into outer space, planning to put a man on the moon, harnessing the energy power of the sun. Urging modern hearers not to repeat the mistakes of those who constructed the Tower of Babel, the preacher nevertheless affirms ambitious, skyward modern projects so long as they are motivated by good will and service to all peoples, rather than by the desire to make a name for oneself.
