The altar has been a central point of connection between God and humanity throughout Scripture—a place of covenant, worship, sacrifice, and atonement. From Noah’s offering after the flood to Abraham’s worship, the formal institution under Moses, and Paul’s call for us to offer our lives as “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1), the altar carries deep biblical and spiritual significance.Today, altars are still central in many church traditions, from Catholic and Orthodox liturgies to Protestant “altar calls” where individuals surrender their lives to Christ. In this video, we’ll explore the history, meaning, and ongoing role of the altar in the life of the Church.
