Week 7: From Babel to the Cross: Man's Efforts vs. God's Grace

Apr 20, 2025    Pastor Will Fillingham

Pastor Will Fillingham contrasts humanity's flawed attempts to reach God through the Tower of Babel, a symbol of human effort and pride, with God's graceful act of descending to humanity through Jesus Christ. Babel shows man building a tower to ascend, while Jesus' coming represents God coming down to bridge the gap, offering salvation not through works but through grace received by faith. Ultimately, he emphasizes that laying down our self-made "bricks" and trusting in Christ's finished work is the true path to relationship with God
