Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Genesis 11:1 – 11:32

  1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
  2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
  3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
  4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
  5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
  6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
  7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
  8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
  9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
  10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
  11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
  12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
  13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
  14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
  15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
  16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
  17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
  18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
  19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
  20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
  21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
  22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
  23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
  24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
  25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
  26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
  27 Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
  28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
  29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
  30 But Sarai was barren; she [had] no child.
  31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
  32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
