- Sunday's message took us from Haggai 1 to Matthew 6:33, contrasting our investing in temporary “tents” with building eternal “altars.” Like the returned exiles who focused on their own homes while God’s temple remained unfinished, believers can easily prioritize comfort, career, and possessions over worship, prayer, and godly character. Believers are to live as pilgrims in this world—holding earthly things loosely while seeking God’s kingdom first. Practically, this means building spiritual altars through things like obedience, self-control, and holiness. The pattern of the early church in Acts of the Apostles 2 shows what this altar-building life looks like: devotion to Scripture, fellowship, prayer and worship, generous stewardship, and faithful gospel witness.
