Pursuing the Heart of God | Choose to Deal with Sin Before It Becomes a Problem
This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield resumes our sermon series, Pursuing the Heart of God. This week, 2 Samuel 13:1-22 teaches us that when the warning signs of sin appear, we must take swift action to stop it. Sin rarely erupts suddenly; instead, it grows when we refuse to deal with it early. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
