Building the Altar of Salvation: How Trust in Jesus Changes Everything

Emotional Intro: In uncertain times—when the world rumbles with wars and worry—we long for something solid, something eternal. Pastor Rich’s message reminds us that salvation isn’t a far-off hope. It’s a present reality for those who call on the name of the Lord. It starts with trust and ends in transformation. What altar are you building with your life?

🔥 The Power of Trusting God

"Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame." – Romans 10:11

Pastor Rich emphasized that trust is the gateway to salvation. When we hand over our finances, families, futures—and yes, even our failures—to God, we are building the altar of salvation. Faith isn't about understanding everything, it's about trusting the One who does.

🙌 God Doesn’t See What the World Sees

"God is not interested in your ethnicity... He loves you because He created you with a purpose." – Pastor Rich

Our culture obsesses over appearances, status, and popularity. But God? He looks at the heart. At New Faith Church, we celebrate diversity, unity, and God’s unchanging love for every person. In Christ, there is no distinction—only purpose.

💬 The Gospel Is Meant to Be Shared

"They’re not going to know Jesus unless somebody tells them about Jesus." – Pastor Rich

Salvation isn’t meant to be a secret. Pastor Rich challenged us to naturally and boldly share Jesus—through prayer, personal stories, or even a simple invitation to church. When we share, we create opportunities for others to build their own altars of salvation.

🛐 Every Prayer Builds the Way to Salvation

"Our prayers make way for others to pray their own prayers of repentance." – Rick DuBose

Each altar of prayer—from personal devotion to group intercession—prepares hearts to receive the gospel. Pastor Rich reminded us that praying for others isn't just spiritual—it’s strategic. As we lift people up, God draws them in.

💭 Who’s Your Daddy?

In one of the most memorable sermon moments, Pastor Rich asked a piercing question: “Who’s your daddy?” In a world full of voices vying for our loyalty, only one leads to life: the voice of our Heavenly Father. Who are you following today?
