Building a Family Altar: Worship and Scripture in the Home
A 21-day journey to create a family altar, dedicating hearts and home to worship, remembrance, and Scripture.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to your 21-day Bible study on building a family altar—a sacred space where worship, Scripture reading, and heartfelt connection knit your family together in God's presence. Throughout history, families have gathered around altars as places not only of sacrifice but of remembrance, teaching, and worship. The altar symbolizes a point where heaven meets earth, a place to present our love and dedication to God.
In creating a family altar, you’re inviting the Lord to dwell richly in your home through purposeful worship, prayer, and reading of Scripture. This study will guide you day by day, helping you establish meaningful habits that will transform your household into a sanctuary—a holy space where God’s Word is treasured, His presence is sought, and relationships are nurtured.
Each day explores a different biblical principle related to family, worship, love, and faithfulness, paired with Scriptures to meditate on and prayers to uplift your heart. Whether your family gathers around a physical altar or your altar takes the form of nightly devotions or daily reminders, this journey invites you to intentionally dedicate your home and hearts for God’s glory. Let this time be a powerful step of faith to build legacy, unity, and blessing that will endure through generations.
As you begin, prepare a special place in your home—maybe a corner with a Bible, candles, a family photo, or symbols of faith. Use this study to fill that space with purpose: lighting your path and reflecting God's light into your family life.
May the Lord bless your commitment, deepen your love, and cause your family altar to be a shining testimony of His grace and faithfulness.
