Altars, Memorials and the Love of God: Build Me An Altar

January 7, 2024 • Pastor Kevin Brown

Altars are places where we offer up to God the things that consume us, control us and compete with His place in our lives. We also build altars as an act of worship because we realize God has kept us. Jacob is 97 years old before he builds an altar to God. In Jacob, we see the radical love of a God who presses us until we realize what He’s always known — we’ll never be home in ourselves or in Him until we build Him an altar.

Alters Memorials and The Love Of God: Lest We Forget to Remember

February 11, 2024 • Elder Le-Toyja Averhart

Because life is not about what happens to us but about what and how we re-member, stories matter and this life is a battle for control of the narrative. The stories we tell set the course for our personal destiny and the legacy we leave. As we transition from the place of altars and memorials, may our hearts settle the question of who authors our story so that we may enter into the radical Love of God.

Alters Memorials and The Love Of God Panel Discussion

February 4, 2024 • Pastor Kevin Brown

Now that we've learned what altars and memorials are, it's time to have an honest conversation about what it looks like to live it. We need to move beyond simply hearing and knowing, to living and applying the truth of what it is to remember and rehearse the way God intended.

Altars, Memorials & the Love of God -- In Remembrance of Me

January 28, 2024 • Pastor Kevin Brown

The Passover and the last supper are undisputedly the greatest altars and memorials in all of creation. It’s with these altars and memorials, Yahweh Elohim, the covenant making God of creation, changes the identity and the destiny of a people. No altar and no memorial gives identity and destiny like the cross and communion that the Passover and its lambs foreshadow. When we receive, remember and rehearse Jesus’ cross and communion we are changed for eternity and changed moment by moment. In Remembrance of Me.
