About this message
Deep down, we all want to be heard. We all want to be seen. We all want our lives to matter. But what happens when that desire turns into control? When we start managing outcomes, protecting our image, and building plans that leave no room for God? In The Beginning of Control, we explore Book of Genesis 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel—a moment when humanity tried to secure their future and make a name for themselves on their own terms. This isn’t just about a tower. It’s about our need to control the narrative. Control the outcome. Control how we’re perceived. And what happens when control replaces trust. Discover why God invites us into a better way—one of trust & surrender—not control.
