Building Altars

September 4, 2022 • Alex Wolfe • Genesis

Former Young Adults Pastor Alex Wolfe continues his two week series on building cities versus building altars. Last week, Alex showed that when people are distancing themselves from God, they seek to gain power for themselves. In the biblical narrative, that usually meant they built cities. This week however, Alex dives in to how when people revere God and trust their livelihood to Him, they build altars instead.

Building Cities

August 28, 2022 • Alex Wolfe • Genesis

Previous Young Adults Pastor, Alex Wolfe, returns for a special two week sermon series titled Cities and Altars. In this series, Alex traces the steps that the different seeds from Genesis take after the Garden of Eden. The seed of The Serpent is our focus for the first week. Alex points to how they try to make a name for themselves and restore the blessings God originally had for them by their own power. This comes to a physical manifestation of cities. Examples in the Bible include Babel, Enoch, Babylon, and Egypt. However, God's power proves these cities to be weak time and time again. Where in our own lives are we trying to build up a name for ourselves rather than raising the name of God.
