Awaiting God’s guidance to next-level faith (vv. 1-2a)

 

Listening to God’s commands for next-level faith (vv. 2b, 3a)

  • a command to observe spiritual leaders — counselors  

      - observe the Levites (vv. 3b, 4a, 6)

      - observe Joshua (v. 7)

  • a command based on relationship — covenant (v. 3c)
  • a command calling for holiness — consecration (vv. 4b-5)

 

Encountering God’s power for next-level faith

  • the power of God’s presence — the Ark (vv. 8, 11-16)

Children: Children of all ages are always welcome to attend worship service with their family. Settle also provides a nursery for ages 0-3 starting at the 9 a.m. Sunday School hour and running through the conclusion of both worship services. For children preschool-Grade 5, Settle offers Sunday School at 9 a.m. in the Education Building, and for preschool-Grade 2, we also offer children's church, where children sit with their parents at the beginning of worship and exit worship as a group after our children's message. Drop off/pickup for all children's activities are in the Education Building.
