In this session, we discussed the concept of building and maintaining spiritual altars as a way of encountering God and sustaining our devotion. We explored how, in the Old Testament, figures like Abraham and Elijah responded to God’s revelations by constructing physical altars—Abraham building one immediately after receiving God’s promise (Genesis 12:7–8) and Elijah repairing a fallen altar as a testimony against idolatry (1 Kings 18:30).

We reflected on how these principles transition into our New Testament practice, where our hearts become the living altar—a sacred space not bound by physical structures but by our intentional acts of worship, prayer, and reflection. This realization reminds us that the external, ritualistic aspects of worship in the Old Testament have been fulfilled by the internal, spiritual dedication that defines our relationship with Christ today.

Ultimately, we concluded that our devotion is most effective when it arises from a well-maintained altar—a heart that is constantly being sanctified and restored through dedicated time with God.
