Teamwork Makes the Dream Work” (Genesis 11:6)

Scripture Focus:

The Lord said, ‘If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. — Genesis 11:6 (NIV)

Introduction:

The story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) reveals a profound truth: unity and teamwork unlock extraordinary potential. Though their motives were prideful, God Himself acknowledged the power of their collective effort—showing that when people work together in harmony, even the impossible becomes possible.

Key Points:

1. The Power of Unity (v. 6)

– The people of Babel shared one language and one purpose. Their unity amplified their ability to achieve great things.
– Application: In the church, family, or workplace, teamwork multiplies our impact. *”Two are better than one… for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken”* (Ecclesiastes 4:9,12).

2. God’s Design for Collaboration

– Even in their rebellion, God affirmed the principle of teamwork. How much more could we accomplish for *His* glory?
– Application: Like the early church (Acts 2:44-47), we’re called to serve together—each using our gifts (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).

3. Redirected for God’s Dream

– Babel’s unity was scattered because it excluded God. But when we align our teamwork with *His* will, He blesses it (Psalm 133:1).
– *Application:* Dream bigger—not for selfish gain, but for God’s kingdom.

Closing Challenge:

Are we building *our* towers or God’s vision? True teamwork thrives when Christ is the foundation. Let’s unite in purpose, humility, and love—because together, with God, nothing is impossible!

Teamwork makes the dream work—but only when God’s the dream-giver.
