<p>What An Altar Was:</p>
<p>1. It was an altar of sacrifice</p>
<p>A blood sacrifice is required to cover sin.</p>
<p>We don’t have to build altars today because Jesus came and was sacrificed for us on the altar of the cross.</p>
<p>2. It was an altar of worship</p>
<p>After we come to the first altar of Shechem, then we come to the second altar of Bethel.</p>
<p>Worship means that we give everything to God and hold anything back.</p>
<p>3. It was a testimony to the future generation</p>
<p>We need to build altars of testimony that speak to the next generation.</p>
