No Wall Too Tall: Don't Forget Holiness

No Wall Too Tall: Don't Forget Holiness

Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our No Wall Too Tall sermon series through Joshua. This week in Joshua 5, you might think that after crossing the Jordan Israel would get straight to work conquering the land. However, this was not the case because the people were not spiritually ready. God cares about the spiritual and often asks his people to ensure they are spiritually ready for the tasks at hand. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
