Heart of Worship p4 // Thrones and Altars

Piper Koeppen

The Posture of Worship: Building Altars, Not Thrones
Discover the difference between building thrones of self-importance and altars of surrender. Drawing from King David’s attempt to move the Ark of the Covenant, this message shows why good intentions aren’t enough and how casualness toward God’s presence can be dangerous. Learn why obedience matters more than intention, how to recognize “thrones” of pride or control in your life, and practical ways to turn them into altars of worship—whether in relationships, work, finances, or daily choices. True effectiveness in God’s kingdom flows not from authority, but from surrender.


This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
