Tower of Confusion
Word(s) to know:
Pride: Thinking highly of one's self
Humble/Humility: Showing modesty
Babel: Gateway to heaven
Lesson
Today's lesson is about pride. Pride is when you think highly of yourself. The problem with pride is the fact that God hates pride.
- Everybody in the whole world spoke the same language
- Some people ended up living in a place called Babylonia
- There lived a King named Nimrod who decided he wanted to be famous.
- King Nimrod convinced the people of Babylonia that if they built a tower to heaven they all would become famous
- The people's pride got in the way and they became consumed with building a tower that reached heaven
- God realized the people's heart was more into themselves and the tower than HIM
- God decided to mix up their languages to make it hard for them to understand each other
- This was the beginning of the languages
- From there God scattered the people all over the whole earth
