From Settling to Living Sent | Pastor Melo Sauval | 07.13.2025

 • Melo Sauval • Series: In The Beginning

This week, Pastor Melo Sauval explores the Tower of Babel account in Genesis 11—a moment where humanity seeks comfort, unity, and security on their own terms. But God doesn’t allow them to settle. He scatters them, not out of anger, but to re-align them with His mission. “Whenever comfort is an idol, obedience starts to feel like a threat. But we weren’t called to settle — we were called to live sent.” This message is a call to let go of spiritual stagnation and embrace the sending nature of God. Obedience may be uncomfortable, but it leads us where He wants us most. ⸻ We hope that this resource complements being in a community with a local gospel-centered church when unable to attend in person. Our mission is to glorify God and expand His family by making disciples! If you are a part of One Family Church, we encourage you to please know that although these sermon videos are a good supplement while traveling or unable to be in person, they are simply that—supplements. We are excited for you to come back and be a part of our in-person community when you are ready, because we know the Lord calls us to be a community. If you want to know more about who we are, please check us out on our website or on our social channels. Each week we will be posting sermons that were preached here in person on Sunday mornings.
