Get Ready for Sunday: Marriage—It’s for All of Us

This Week at Northbrook: Nov. 7, 2025

Marriage isn’t something humans invented that God later blessed; it’s something God designed that we get to walk in. What if marriage is meant to shape you more into God’s image than into your ideal of happiness?

This Sunday, guest preacher Chris Corder will unpack God’s design for marriage from Genesis 2:24 and invite us to see that marriage isn’t just for the married, but it’s a reflection of the gospel that shapes every one of us. Whether you’re single, dating, newly married, or decades in, God calls each of us to walk in His presence, practice His ways, and trust His process in all our relationships.

Here’s something to reflect on this week: how would your relationships change if you viewed them less as something to manage and more as a place to join God in His design?

Let’s gather ready to be shaped by God’s wisdom and love in every part of our lives.
