Cities Without God II - The Haste Of Civilization

About this episode

Dr. Oheneba Boadum explores the spiritual consequences of human autonomy and the contrast between divine dependence and the haste of civilization.

In this sermon, Dr. Oheneba Boadum explores the spiritual consequences of human autonomy, contrasting a life of divine dependence with the "haste of civilization." He uses the biblical narrative of Cain and Seth to illustrate how humanity often builds systems—such as cities, arts, and technology—to compensate for a lost sense of God's presence. The sermon argues that while the line of Cain focused on sensual innovation and self-sufficiency, the lineage of Seth represents a return to worship and holiness. Ultimately, Boadum encourages us to move away from secular self-reliance and rediscover an intimate, prayerful connection with the Creator. This teaching emphasizes that true restoration is found by placing spiritual devotion above the distractions of modern societal progress.
