Sent to Send: How the Gospel Makes Missionary Churches
This week, guest preacher Sam Larson shows through the book of Acts how the gospel that saves the church is the gospel that sends the church. Christ calls His people to His mission, forms them into a gospel community, and commissions them to send and to go. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
