Description

One of the most popular rock and roll songs of all time is Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".  It came out over half a century ago and it describes "a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven."  Understandably, that song caused a stir in the Christian community when it came out- we know we can't buy our way to Heaven.  This week, we look at a story that came out thousands of years ago describing a people who wanted to build a tower to reach Heaven, the Tower of Babel, in Genesis 11:1-9.  What was their purpose? What were they trying to achieve?  How did God respond?  And how should we, the Christian community, respond today?
