Letters to the Church — Called to Love
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Letters to the Church sermon series. This week, in 1 Corinthians 13, we learn that since love is the visible sign that legitimizes our covenant community, the Christ follower must ensure that love is central in all their actions. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
