Southview Community Church

On Palm Sunday two millennia ago, the Jews in Jerusalem celebrated the entrance of Jesus with tremendous jubilation and honor. Pastor William Attaway, just back from sabbatical, explains what they were expecting from Jesus, in contrast to the salvation He was about to bring.

Sometimes God asks us to give up the very thing He promised. Pastor Brad Russell from Dulles Community Church takes us through Genesis 22, the story where God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, then provides a ram at the last second. Pastor Russell explains how this story is a foreshadowing of God actually sacrificing His own Son, Jesus, for us.

Pastor Dee Whitten illuminates the story of Barnabas, a follower of Jesus who used the qualities built in him by the Holy Spirit to encourage, enliven, and bring together the early church.

Visiting speaker Priscilla Shi shares from Matthew 6:6, exhorting the church to open their hearts to the Lord individually and personally, in secret.

Speaking from 2 Peter 3:1-2, visiting pastor Danny Chung challenges the church to grow in all areas of life by building sweet relationship with Jesus through regular discipline in reading His Word.

Danny Chung was born in Seoul, Korea but moved to Toronto, Canada where he spent most of his life. He then moved to VA about 13 years ago with his wife Angela and their now two teenage daughters. He is currently serving as the lead pastor of Bridgeway Church that was founded just over 8 years ago.

Visiting pastor Brad Russell from Dulles Community Church goes through Luke 5, encouraging the church to turn their attention to the voice of God. We have a Heavenly Father that will never stop trying to speak love and life into our lives, and Pastor Brad encourages us to lean in and listen.

Visiting pastor Steve Kane speaks from Jeremiah chapter 25, encouraging God's people to listen to His words and follow Him into life's adventures without fear.

Visiting pastor Steve Kane used the metaphor of reading a hard-copy, classic map to encourage individuals and parents to set their eyes on the goals God wants for them and their children and then to trust Him with the process. After the sermon, Southview celebrated a baby dedication.

Leaders of some of Southview Community Church's ministry teams related their personal testimonies of coming to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and their paths to their current positions. Speakers included: Jasmine Latour, Hospitality Team Lead; Jenna Kirkhart, Family Ministry Director; Macy Puryear, Student Ministry Director; and Marshall Kregg, Small Groups Coordinator.

Visiting pastor Brad Russell from Dulles Community Church preaches from 1 Samuel to encourage the church to listen for God's constant, persistent voice and to respond in faith.
