Episode Synopsis

This morning we are continuing on in a little series I titled, “Thriving in Babylon” with the hope of better understanding the times in which we live now and how not just to survive but actually thrive in our faith like Daniel did in his own life while he was held captive in Babylon. You recall that Babylon was a city located in modern-day Iraq on the banks of the Euphrates River. We first read about Babylon in Genesis 10-11, and the word, babel, means confusion (by mixing), and it was there God confused the languages of men because the inhabitants said in Genesis 11:4, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth”. Babel was the foundation of Babylon.-------------Thank you for listening to the Calvary Chapel Bakersfield podcast!
