Think Again
Lesson Title: The Tower of Babel - After the flood, the people thought they could receive blessing and power by building a tower rather than seeking and following God’s plan. As a result, God scattered the people and confused their languages.
Scripture: Genesis 11
Wonder Truth: God's Plan is Enough

Foundation Building Blocks
WHO?
After the great flood (Genesis 6-9), people start to reproduce and populate again. Genesis 10 gives a genealogical account of Noah’s sons after the flood. Some time after this, people gather to build the city of Babel.
WHAT?
The people want to build a great city and tower to make a name for themselves. Likely this tower was a ziggurat-a structure with a square base that sloped upward. A shrine may have been at the top.
WHERE?
Babel was located in what became known as Babylon in Southern Mesopotamia, northeast of the land of Israel. In modern times, this area is in Iraq.
WHEN?
After the flood, people repopulated the earth. It is likely that the people in this account are influenced by the idea of false gods. A ziggurat was meant to serve as a stairway from heaven to earth, uniting the people and giving them access to the gods.
CONNECTING TO GOD’S BIG STORY
In the story, humans made their own plan to restore a relationship with God. But God had a much better plan to send Jesus to redeem creation and cover sin. God’s plan did not fit anyone’s expectation. Through Jesus, God’s redemptive plan is enough!
