Following his participation in a Missionary Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, Pastor Sonny explores the theme of sharing the Gospel to unreached languages through the account of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, when human pride and rebellion led to God’s judgment, confusing humanity’s language and scattering the nations. Pastor Sonny traces God’s redemptive plan to undo this division — beginning with His promise to Abraham and culminating in the saving work of Jesus Christ and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Acts 2. Ultimately, Pastor Sonny challenges the church to participate in God’s mission by bringing the Gospel not just to every nation, but specifically to every unreached language group so that all people can understand and worship Christ.
Genesis 11:1–9
11:1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
