Guest preacher David Atkins gives the message on this Youth Sunday – “Where is the Altar of God?“, taken from 1 John chapter 5, verse 21 and 2 Kings chapter 16, the story of King Ahaz.

Our choir begins the service with Sweet Beulah Land, Jesus is Coming Soon, Lord Lead Me On and I Thank My Savior For It All. The message begins at 15:35.

Scripture referenced:

• 1 John 5:21
• Exodus 20
• 2 Kings 16:4
• Jonah 2:8
• Ezekiel 36

Notes:

• God doesn’t want our attention to be diverted from Him.
• King Ahaz lived a life of contradiction. He worshiped idols and tried to worship God at the same time. (2 Kings 16)
• Has some other altar replaced the altar of God in your life?
• Ahaz suffered because of this mistake. We need to learn from Ahaz’s mistake.
• Where is the altar of God in our lives? Have we put it away in the closet, waiting until we think we need it?
• They that cling to idols forfeit the grace and mercy that could be theirs.
• Ezekiel 36 explains God’s offer for those who put away their idols.

Please note that we just turned this feature on at the beginning of May 2012. The list of sermons is short to start but will build over time.
