~ MIDWEEK LENT SERVICES, WEDNESDAYS, 6:30p ~

Altars have always represented change. They are where sacred space meets our surrender and leads into authentic spiritual transformation. From the beginning of time, God’s people have built altars to mark the places where God spoke, gave direction, or gave his blessing. It is the place where God’s people surrendered offerings to him in obedience.

In the New Testament, Jesus became that surrendered offering, but he also became the place—in his person—for those who were hurting, lost, and who longed to encounter God. In the midst of a world filled with pain and death, chaos and disappointment, there is a promise of restoration and transformation. However, it isn’t found at the end of our lives, but at the end of ourselves. It is found when we embrace surrender.
