IS IT OUR DESIRE TO BUILD AN ALTAR FOR GOD HERE AT FAIRFIELD?
We learn from Scripture what this really means for us
1. It is a place of worship to the Lord ……….
Genesis 26:25, Isaiah 36:7
2. It is a sacred place Holy unto the Lord …….
Exodus 29:37
3. A place of power and strength……………….
Exodus 17:15-16
4. A place of cleansing , forgiveness and
restoration ……… Leviticus 9:7
5. A place for our attendance where we meet
with God and worship in His presence……..
Psalm 43:4, Amos 9:1
We do pray that God will pour out His Blessing on our Building Project, that it be an Altar to Worship God. Furthermore, that it may be the means of bringing this Community and People to Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
Thank you Lord for saving my Soul
Thank you Lord for making me whole
Thank you Lord for giving to me
Thy great Salvation so rich and free.
The Old Testament records the many instances of God’s people erecting a building for worship and sacrifices to God. ,Gen 26:25 Isaac built an altar there and worshipped the Lord. Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua and David and others
constructed many altars to acknowledge and bless God.
In the New Testament there is an instance when Peter deeply moved by the Transfiguration experience told Jesus he would build 3 Tabernacles on the Mountain to honour Christ, Mt 17:4. Recently, during a Building Report to the Congregation, we were taken on a journey to Freiberg, situated in the middle of the Black Forest in Germany. There in the centre of the City is “the Munster” a huge Cathedral which took 200 years to build, privately owned, but under the ministry of the Catholic Bishop. The Tower and Spire is 116metres tall, pointing people to the Heavens being described as “ the most beautiful spire on earth ” Built for worship of God. Yes privately owned and maintained …all for the Glory of God.
Noah built an ark to honour and obey the Lord God and prove His Promises!
It too caused an awakening to the purposes of God.
We do pray that God will pour out His Blessing on our Building Project and that it will be an Altar to Worship God .
