Get Ready for Sunday: Stay True in a World of Counterfeits

This Week at Northbrook: May 16, 2025

How do you know if what you’re hearing, even from someone “spiritual," is really true? What’s your filter?

This Sunday, we’ll look at 2 Peter 2 and Jude 17-25, where both Peter and Jude warn us about the danger of spiritual counterfeits—voices that sound close to truth but quietly lead us away from Jesus. In a world full of noise, we need a life that’s filtered through Christ: grounded in His Word, alert to deception, and surrounded by faithful believers.

It's always good to pause and reflect on God's Word. As you prepare for Sunday, consider this: What voices am I listening to most,  and are they pointing me toward Jesus or away from Him?

Let’s come ready to build a discerning, durable faith that stays true when everything else seems to drift.
