No Wall Too Tall: Gracious Accountability
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our No Wall Too Tall sermon series through Joshua. This week in Joshua 22, God calls on his people to carefully help each other in their walk by holding each other accountable. At times accountability involves confrontation and has the potential to blow up, but when all parties handle confrontation well it can bring great glory to God. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
