Exodus 30.7 - Altar of Incense 4/2004 - Smokey Mtn

Summary

Elder Sam Brant preached on Exodus 30:7, focusing on the altar of incense in the Old Testament tabernacle as a symbol of the perpetual prayers of Jesus Christ on our behalf. He emphasized the importance of walking in love, unity, and charity within the church to maintain a sweet fragrance before God, contrasting it with the 'foul odors' of division and sin. The sermon also highlighted the power of prayer as the true incense pleasing to God, urging believers to rely more on prayer to resolve conflicts and strengthen the church. Ultimately, the sacrifice of Jesus remains a sweet-smelling offering to God, and Christians are called to reflect that fragrance through love and prayer.
