The Promised One | Rachel Weeping — The Pain of Rejection
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our Christmas series, The Promised One. Today Jeremiah and Matthew show us that though Christ came as Savior, His coming was met with rejection and hostility by some — a foreshadowing of the cross. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
