Letters to the Church — Called to Christ
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Letters to the Church sermon series in 1 Corinthians. This week in 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, we must remember that we are called first and foremost to Christ. This means our focus needs to be on Christ rather than anything else. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
