In this message from our By Design series, we explore the Tower of Babel and uncover what happens when we try to build our lives apart from God’s plan. The Problem with DIY Faith challenges us to see how quickly our own strength, ideas, and ambitions can lead us off course—and how God lovingly redirects us back to Him.

Through Genesis 11, we walk through four key truths:

1. A Spirit of Pride – How self-reliance and self-promotion can quietly replace our reliance on God.

2. A Heart of Disobedience – Why ignoring God’s design always leads to confusion and fragmentation.

3. A Lesson of Dependence – How God uses disruption not to punish us, but to bring us back into alignment with His purpose.

4. A Call of Refocus – An invitation to lay down our DIY approach to faith and return to a life shaped and guided by God’s design.

This sermon encourages believers to surrender the plans we build for our own glory and rediscover the beauty, unity, and purpose found only when we trust the One who designed us.
