C. LESSON INTRODUCTION: An altar is a place where people congregate to commune with their god. It could be a high place or a table where sacrifices are offered or incense is burned in worship of a god. There are various altars, for example the altar of Dagon, 1 Samuel 5:1-4, Genesis 12:7-8, Exodus 17:15, Joshua 8:30. But we shall be talking about the altars unto Jehovah the God of the whole earth -Judges 6:24, Gideon.
FAMILY ALTAR
A Family Altar is a place in the home (house) that members of that family congregate to commune with (God) on a daily basis. The place where, God is praised and the Bible is taught – 2 Timothy 1:5. It is the key to growing the house hold in Godliness. Let us begin to raise family Altar in our homes to equip the whole family.
