Get Ready for Sunday: Learning to Love

This Week at Northbrook: Oct. 31, 2025

Love isn’t something you master once. It’s something you learn over a lifetime. What if the reason your love for God feels stagnant isn’t because He’s distant, but because you’ve stopped cultivating it?

This Sunday in Forged, we’ll open Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and see what it really means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Moses reminds Israel that love for God isn’t just declared; it’s developed. It’s a love that grows as we follow His design, nurture our affection for Him, and let His Word saturate our homes and habits. If we want a faith that lasts, we must become people who learn to love deeply and daily.

Here’s something to reflect on this week: what small step could you take to intentionally grow your love for God this week, and how might that ripple through your home?

Let’s gather ready to pursue a love that transforms everything it touches.
