Southview Baptist Church
Easter at Southview | Dispel Anxiety
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Easter sermon series. In John 20:19-23, we see that, despite life’s trials, the Gospel provides the peace and empowerment needed to face any situation. It emphasizes that God’s grace can transform feelings of fear and inadequacy into boldness and confidence through the Holy Spirit. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
