Lev. 6:8-12
Heb 10:4-12
Heb 13:8-12

-Jesus Christ is a type of the burnt offering

-The altar is a type of our heart.

-Is there a fire in my heart for the Lord?

Characteristics of the heart/altar:
1. It’s a very special place
2. It’s a sinful place
3. It’s a sacrificial place
4. It’s a supernatural place

The priests were told to:
1. Watch the fire – don’t let it go out
2. Take up the ashes daily
3. Feed the fire – give it new wood

a. Bible reading
b. Scripture memorization
c. Prayer
d. Witnessing

The altar was a place for God’s presence (II Kings 12:1-19)

  • Jehoash became Joash…just a bunch of smoke
  • He got rid of the important things
  • He depended on other people for his relationship with God

Don’t let the fire go out!
