NazFamily Church

This Sunday - I love the Peanuts cartoon when Lucy demanded that her brother, Linus, change TV channel to something she wanted to watch. Linus asked, "What makes you think you can walk right in here and take over?"

"These five fingers," Lucy said. "Individually they're nothing but when I curl them together like this into a single unit, they form a weapon that is terrible to behold."

Linus asked, "Which channel do you want?" Turning away, he looks at his fingers and said, "Why can't you guys get organized like that?” Though we are all different, God designed us to work together as One Body. We are better together! Join us this Sunday as Pastor Richard continues the series The Power of One.

We as Christians must “Declare our Dependence” on our Heavenly Father, secondly, not to forget Him, and to remember real freedom comes in Christ Jesus through His sacrifice.
