The Altar Comes Before the Fire: A Wake-Up Call for the Church

About this sermon

In this message, I’m calling us back to the altar. We are living in a shaking moment, and the answer is not found by looking left or right. It is found by looking up to the King of Glory. Before awakening comes repentance, consecration, surrender, and a fresh encounter with the presence of God. I talk about Isaiah’s cry for God to rend the heavens, Joel’s call for the priests to weep between the porch and the altar, Elijah repairing the broken altar, Abraham laying Isaac down in worship, and Jesus surrendering fully in Gethsemane. These are not just stories from Scripture. They are invitations for us to ask what altars need to be rebuilt in our own hearts. This is a call to the Church, to families, to young people, and to older saints who have carried revival fire before. We do not know what is on the other side of our yes, but we do know this: the altar always comes before the fire.
