INTRODUCTION

Altars are piled stones stained with the blood of sacrifices. Not exactly what you want to learn about or learn from, especially from a church. In fact, you might want to run. To our modern ears, the idea of altars sounds primitive, even barbaric.

But what if these altars are the places where people learned to encounter God and discover the deepest moments of knowing and loving God? Could they hold the keys to understanding our deepest longings and most profound experiences with the divine?

The biblical stories of ancient altars aren’t dusty lessons from a long-forgotten past. They are snapshots into life-altering moments where humans came face-to-face with the living God. Moments of crisis, obedience, revelation, and triumph that shaped not just individuals, but the course of history.

Join us as we journey through pivotal moments in Scripture, each centering around an altar. We'll discover how these ancient stories speak directly to our modern lives and how these memorial moments all pointed to and culminated in the ultimate altar of Jesus' sacrifice that changed everything.

Whether you're a lifelong believer or just curious about faith, this series promises to challenge your assumptions, ignite your imagination, and invite you into your own transformative encounters with God. Let’s look back so we can look forward—because when heaven meets earth, nothing will ever be the same.
