Letters to the Church — Called to Be Orderly
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Letters to the Church sermon series. This week, in 1 Corinthians 14:26-40, we learn that we need to be orderly in our worship in order that the church might be edified through worship. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
