“This is what the Lord says, ‘Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.’ ”- Jeremiah 6:16
“Peter and John went to the temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money. Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, ‘Look at us!’ The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting a gift. But Peter said, ‘I don’t have any money for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!’ Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and anklebones were healed and strengthened.” - Acts 3:1-7
“Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd. ‘People of Israel,’ he said,
‘What is so astounding about this? And why look at us as though we had made this man walk by our own power and godliness?’ ” - Acts 3:12
“While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the leading priests, the captain of the temple guard, and some of the Sadducees came over to them. They were very disturbed that Peter and John were claiming, on the authority of Jesus, that there is a resurrection of the dead. They arrested them and, since it was already evening, jailed them until morning.”- Acts 4:1-3
“Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, ‘Leaders and elders of our nation …’ ” - Acts 4:8
To face my fear of risk taking, I need to:
________________________ my personal fear.
____________________________________ that will challenge your fear.
_____________________________________________ of God in my risk.
“The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men who had had no special training. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.” - Acts 4:13
*Congregational Hymn
"Surely the Presence of the Lord" - #328

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.
