- When Ahaz was seeking personal guidance, he used the Lord’s altar (v.15-16).
- What is wrong with the faith required to offer the Lord’s offering on another altar?
- Who can offer our sacrifices to God? (Romans 12:1; Hebrews 13:15-16)
- How does Ahaz seek to use God when offering on the Lord’s altar?
- Instead of following God’s plan, Ahaz did what he wanted (v.17-20).
