This week's message on Rebuilding the Altar was about corporate repentance. How we as a church need to take responsibility for our sins as a congregation, confess them, repent and rebuild. I'll try to share a few short snippets of the message that really stuck with me. We so often focus on prayer as an individual activity, that we forget all the occasions that the Bible mentions the church coming together for larger prayer gathering.
The instructions and direction that God gave us in the Bible tell us exactly how he wants His Church to look. It's not a house of worship or a house of bible studies or a house of small groups. Jesus specifically stated that his Church was to be a house of worship.
Jesus said, "...My house shall be called the house of prayer" Matthew 21:13 and he was quoting old Testament scripture Isiah 56:7.
Our church is holding a prayer gathering this Friday night and Saturday morning as a time to come together as a church and learn about prayer and pray. We are planning on attending Friday night's gathering, with the focus on learning how to pray for ourselves and how to pray for our marriage.
