Get Ready for Sunday: Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

This Week at Northbrook: Nov. 28, 2025

Some things only change when you really see them. And the same is true for your faith. So let me ask you: When was the last time you slowed down long enough to truly look at Jesus, not just glance his way?

This Sunday we begin our Advent series, Transfixed, by walking through Hebrews 1:1-4. It’s a passage that pulls back the curtain and shows us Jesus in all his glory. Not just the baby in the manger, but the eternal Son who reveals God’s heart, who sustains all things by his powerful word, and who finished the saving work we could never do. Advent isn’t about trying harder to feel Christmas; it’s about fixing our gaze on the One who holds everything together.

As you prepare for worship, here’s the question to carry with you: What distraction most pulls your eyes away from Jesus this time of year, and what would it look like to look away from it so you can look closer at him?

Let’s come hungry for a clearer, closer vision of Christ.
