Patterns of History and Humanity: Gen 10 (Ben Connelly)
In this sermon, Ben Connelly explores the recurring themes of repetition and time loops evident in movies and history. By referencing books like 'The Fourth Turning Is Here' by Neil Howe and the biblical genealogies from Genesis, the speaker identifies a pattern: creation, sin, worsening generations, and divine justice. They highlight the seeds of global division rooted in human pride, self-provision, self-promotion, and self-protection, illustrated through the story of the Tower of Babel. However, they also emphasize God's redemptive promise through Jesus Christ, which counters these cycles by offering hope and eventual unity for all tribes and nations.
