This Sunday

This Summer! Coming Soon! Don’t Miss It! Some get all excited for the epic movies that come out each summer. They can’t wait to see the next big film. But better than what is on the big screen, Scripture is full of epic moments that actually happened in history. As we reflect on these moments they lead us into genuine encounters with an epic God. Join us at NazFamily Church this Sunday as we explore these Epic Moments together.

Women this is our last session in the studying of Hosea: Unfailing Love Changes Everything. In a circle table format we will learn about unlikely couple, an unusual courtship, and an illicit affair. Through it all there was not a divorce; instead, a love story grew, It’s Hosea and Gomer’s love story. When you’re looking for identity, God calls you His own. When you feel enslaved, God frees you. When you wander away, God brings you home. No matter where you are, God sees who you are and loves you faithfully, Let’s learn together about His unfailing love and how it changes everything.
