In Athens, the Apostle Paul stumbles across an altar with the inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. It broke Paul's heart to see a people desiring to know God but not knowing who He is and what He has done for them. He would get the opportunity to preach Christ on Mars Hill and help introduce people to God.

In Malachi 1, God expresses rebuke towards the Jews and the animals they offered as sacrifices. It was a wake up call concerning their attitude of disregard for God. As Christians, it is too easy to go through the "motions" of religion and lack the passion, thankfulness and reverence God deserves. This message invites you to answer 3 questions concerning what we give God.

The altar on center stage this morning is the altar found on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18. Israel had abandoned the One True God and shown their allegiance to the pagan god Baal. Israel was not seeking God; God was seeking Israel. God displayed His power and proved His love and mercy to a nation that did not deserve it through the prophet Elijah. Elijah was on a spiritual high with God. But SPIRITUAL HIGHS are often met with SPIRITUAL LOWS. This message looks into a dark time in Elijah's life and encourages us to learn how to respond to "spiritual lows".

In the Old Testament, an altar was a physical structure where the DIVINE and HUMAN worlds interacted. God recognized and responded to us through altar activity. The word altar in Hebrew means "to slaughter." This message gives a foundation for our "Altars" series by placing our focus on how we are called to be a living sacrifice for God.
