Easter at Southview | Seeking Observant Followers
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Easter at Southview series. In Luke 9:28-36, we are challenged that amidst the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to focus on Easter and miss the point. We must realize that this is all about Jesus. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
