The Altar and the Tent

The Altar and the Tent | Pastor Jayson Hill Sunday Morning Service · Genesis 12:6-8 · Faith Baptist Church, Williston, Florida From Genesis 12, Abraham built an altar in the land of the Canaanites and dwelt in a tent: the Christian worships God openly in a world that is not his home. In this message: • Abram in a land of promise with the Canaanite still in it (Genesis 12:6-8) • He built an altar openly among a pagan people; it should be evident who the Christian serves • Dwelling in tabernacles, looking for a city whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:8-10) • Strangers and pilgrims on the earth who desire a better country (Hebrews 11:13-16) • Abstain from fleshly lusts and keep an honest testimony until the day of visitation (1 Peter 2:11-14) • Abram was very rich, but his possessions did not possess him (Genesis 13:1-2) • Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom; Abram's home was the altar (Genesis 13:12-18) • Set your affection on things above (Colossians 3:1-3) • Calling upon the name of the Lord for salvation and for help (Genesis 4:26; Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13) Scripture: Genesis 12:6-8 · Hebrews 11:8-16 · 1 Peter 2:11-14 · Genesis 13:1-2 · Genesis 13:12-15 · Genesis 13:18 · Colossians 3:1-3 · Genesis 4:26 · Joel 2:32 · Romans 10:13 · Genesis 9 · Ephesians 6:1-3 Also in this service: Hymns No. 1 (O Worship the King), No. 264 (I Come to the Garden Alone), No. 499 (I Have a Home Beyond the River) and closing hymn No. 265 (Will Your Anchor Hold), the scripture song Ephesians 6:1-3, a report on Bibles and tracts given out at the Peanut Festival, and prayer for the church family, the sick and those traveling.
