Easter at Southview | Dispel Death
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Easter sermon series. In John 20:1-10, we see that Christians must move beyond their fears and doubts to act on the truth of Christ’s resurrection. By embracing the victory over death, believers are motivated to share the good news and engage actively in their faith community. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
