2025 21 Day Fast:
Week One: The Outer Court / Redemption /Belonging to the family of God
Day 2: Tuesday
You walk into the outer court, and you find a large bronze altar. Once a year the priest would offer blood sacrifices for the sins of the people. The altar of burnt offerings was stationed inside the tabernacle courtyard. God himself sent heavenly fire that continually burned on the altar (Lev. 9:23–24; 6:12). No manmade fire was allowed for sacrifice.
A guilty person brought an animal for a sin sacrifice to the tabernacle. After the animal was killed near the gate, the priest brought its blood and fat to the altar. He burned the fat on the altar and poured the blood on the golden horns and around the altar (Lev. 4).
At the tabernacle, blood was not a side effect—it was the whole point. Only blood could provide atonement. God says in Leviticus 17, “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have appointed it to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement”. The Hebrew word for atonement literally means “to cover.” God appointed the blood to cover our souls.
This alter represents the cross where Jesus sacrificed His blood for your sin. Your salvation experience was a gift from God. He gave His son so that we would be redeemed back to Him. You now have eternal life.

4.Children and Youth Ministry; Leaders Jacob & Lupe Thompson , Tanner & Tori Latham.
We pray that our children and youth obey their parents in the Lord, because this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise- that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land. Ephesians 6:1
We are asking that we may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, so that we may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:9-10
We pray that we will make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth serve the Lord with gladness, come into His presence with singing. We will enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. Psalm 100:2,4
We pray as we plan this years events that the Lord will determine our steps. We ask that those events will facilitate building the kingdom of God. We pray to the Lord of the harvest to send us workers into His harvest. Proverbs 16:9, Luke 10:2
