The Lost World of the Bible: Origins | The Tower of Babel
We have a tremendous capacity to innovate and create. That power can be used for good—to care for each other and the world—or it can be used in destructive ways to oppress and dehumanize others. The lesson of Babel is the tremendous damage that can occur when humans devalue one another and God.Series Overview: If you grew up in the United States, you were likely handed a few Bible stories as a child — Adam and Eve, Noah and a boatload of animals, a tower of Babel stretching to the sky. The stories were filled with memorable characters and vivid scenes. In many cases, even though we grew up, our understanding of these ancient stories never did. But what if we reexamined them as adults? What lessons could be unlocked? What depths would we discover? Join us to explore the Lost World of the Bible and take a fresh look at some of the unforgettable stories from its opening pages.

The Lost World of the Bible: Origins | The Flood and the Ark
A defining attribute of God is that he brings order out of chaos. The flood narrative is a hyperbolic theological story that helps us understand the pain of a chaotic world and the heroic lengths God will go to to establish the order required for human flourishing through his relational covenant. Whatever chaos is currently pervading our lives, we are invited to trust in the God of Noah to bring healing and calm.Series Overview: If you grew up in the United States, you were likely handed a few Bible stories as a child — Adam and Eve, Noah and a boatload of animals, a tower of Babel stretching to the sky.
