Portraits of the King — The Expectant Family Portrait
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield begins our Christmas sermon series, Portraits of the King. This sermon from Matthew 1:18-25 speaks directly to the struggles of adults dealing with doubt, fear, and the challenges of life. By recognizing that Jesus was born to save us and that God is present among us, listeners can find hope and reassurance in their daily lives. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
