Letters to the Church — Called to Christ Part II
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Letters to the Church sermon series in 1 Corinthians. This week in 1 Corinthians 3:18-4:5, we must take care not to just pay lip service to our call to Christ, but to go a step further and reject our tendency to allow the world's wisdom to interfere with our call to follow Christ! Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
