In this sermon, Pastor Alex explores the deep desires that shape our lives—both the ones within us and the ones we absorb from the world around us. Looking at the story of the Tower of Babel, he invites us to consider how easily our ambitions can lead us away from God’s design for community, humility, and trust. From Genesis to Philippians, we’re reminded that the way of Jesus isn’t about climbing higher, but about laying down our lives in love. In a world chasing success and self-made stories, this message calls us to root ourselves in something deeper—God’s transforming grace and the way of the cross.
