Time to Build an Altar // Genesis 12:1-9 // Chris Wienand

This Week at Genesis | Build an Altar In Genesis 12, Abram responds to God’s call by building altars along the journey—places of encounter, remembrance, and surrender. This message explores why altars mattered in Abraham’s story and what it means for us to build rhythms of devotion in our own lives today. Even in the middle of fear, famine, and uncertainty, God continued to form Abraham through faith and obedience. As a church, we’re invited to return daily to the presence of God, creating space for prayer, fasting, worship, and breakthrough.   📖 Scripture: Genesis 12:1–9 ✨ Themes: Encountering God in the middle of the journey, Remembering and trusting God’s promises, Building rhythms of prayer, fasting, and devotion, Returning to God daily in faith and surrender   About Genesis Costa Mesa We are a Jesus-centered community on mission, shaped by the table, worship, prayer, story, and mission.
