An altar is a sacred place of worship and communication between a Christian and their Creator, God. It is a place where we can offer our praises, prayers, and seek fellowship with God. In this sermon, we will explore the significance of building an altar for God, the ingredients required for its construction, and the benefits it brings to our lives.
An altar is a designated place set apart for worshiping God. It symbolizes holiness and represents the presence of God. It is a higher place where we can offer untarnished services to God. The altar serves as a refuge and comfort from the troubles of this world. It can also be a place where we intercede for others, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
There are different types of altars:
1. Personal Altar: This is a personal means of communication and fellowship with God. It is also known as "Quiet Time." It involves setting aside a specific time to seek God's face through worship, praise, thanksgiving, and prayer.
2. Family or Home Altar: This is a place where family members gather to commune, worship, praise, and pray to God. It also requires a specific time for meeting.
3. Church Altar: The church itself serves as an altar, where Christians come together to worship and pour out their hearts to God.
