Getting to the Gospel: Highways
This week, Pastoral Resident Harrison Kerns teaches from Acts 17:1-15, where we see that even though sharing the Gospel is for the ends of the earth, there are ideal settings, inevitable troubles, and unpredictable results. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
