What you remember will shape what you pursue. When did you last feel deeply drawn to God, not just out of duty, but out of desire?

This Sunday, we’ll walk through Psalm 132, a song of remembrance that calls us to rekindle our passion for God’s presence. Just as David refused to rest until the ark returned to its rightful place, we’re invited to live with that same kind of holy urgency—to make God central, not just symbolic. His presence isn’t just a concept; it’s our peace, our joy, and our power to keep going.

We sing loudest about what we love most. So what’s your heart actually singing about these days? And if the joy has gone quiet, what might that be telling you about what’s at the center of your life?

This Sunday in Psalm 96, we’ll be reminded that the presence of God is what truly awakens our hearts to sing. Not circumstances, not success, not fleeting moments of happiness, but the living God, rightly placed at the center of our lives. His glory stirs lasting joy, and his nearness brings songs out of dry places.

We crave clarity. But we often ignore the voice that’s been speaking all along.

Have you ever felt like God is silent, only to realize you’ve been too distracted to hear him? What if the distance you feel from God isn’t because he stopped speaking, but because you stopped listening?

This Sunday, we’ll explore Psalm 19, where David reminds us that God is always speaking, through the beauty of creation, the truth of his Word, and the gracious correction of his Spirit. But God doesn’t speak to impress us; he speaks to transform us.

We don’t drift into spiritual depth—we pursue it.

If your faith feels thin, maybe it’s because your roots haven’t been fed in a while. When was the last time God’s Word actually disrupted your routine and reshaped your priorities?

This week at Northbrook: May 30-June 7

We become what we're rooted in. What does that look like for you? What’s really shaping who you’re becoming; is it God’s Word or something else you’ve let take root?

This Sunday, we’re launching our summer series Soulprints with Psalm 1, a powerful opening to the Psalms that lays out two distinct ways to live: one that flourishes and one that fades. Enjoying the good life isn’t about avoiding hardship or chasing worldly success; it’s about planting yourself deeply in God’s Word, walking in his ways, and connecting to his people.

If you really believed Jesus could return today... would anything you’re planning to do tomorrow still matter?

This Sunday, we’ll be in 2 Peter 3:8-18, where Peter reminds us that Christ’s return isn’t delayed; it’s purposeful and will be right on time. God’s timing is mercy, not hesitation. And while we wait for the Lord's return, we’re called to live with urgency, holiness, purpose, and a deepening love for Jesus and others.

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.

If someone took a look at your life right now… would they see a faith that’s built to last—or something starting to lean and crack under pressure?

This Sunday, we’ll open 2 Peter 1:3–11, where Peter calls us to build a life that’s anchored in Christ and designed for spiritual growth, not spiritual drift. God has already given us everything we need—his power, his promises, and his presence. But it’s our daily pursuit of Christ that builds a life of purpose, endurance, and joy.

What if adversity in your life wasn’t a sign that something’s gone wrong—but that you’re exactly where God wants you? Sit with that for a second. How does that land in your heart today?

This Sunday, Elder Chris Borden will walk us through 1 Peter 4:12–19, where Peter reminds us that suffering for Christ is not strange—it’s sacred. When hardship comes because of our faith, we don’t retreat—we rejoice, because the Spirit of God rests on us. We trust our faithful Creator, and we keep doing good.

Have you ever looked at something a hundred times and still missed what was really going on? That’s exactly what can happen with the cross. We wear it, decorate with it, sing about it—but have we really seen it?

This Sunday, we’ll fix our eyes on Jesus’ final words in Luke 23:44–49, and what we’ll see isn’t just the death of a man—it’s the defeat of sin, the victory over death, and the proof that you can fully trust God even in your darkest moments.

This Week at Northbrook: April 11, 2025

If Jesus told you He was coming back one year from today, how would that change how you live today? That’s exactly the tension we’re stepping into this Sunday in 1 Peter 4:1–11, where Peter says plainly: “The end of all things is near.”

How do you respond when life is hard and the world is watching? 1 Peter 2:11-25 reminds us that as followers of Jesus, our greatest witness isn’t in our success—it’s in how we stand firm in difficulty. Whether it’s resisting sin, honoring authority, or enduring suffering, our lives should point people to Christ.

This Sunday, Pastor Keith will help us see how God calls us to live differently—not just by what we say, but by how we trust Him in the hard moments in life. Take a moment to reflect on this: Does my life make Jesus more visible to the people around me?

What makes a strong, unshakable church? Is it the building, the programs, or the music? According to 1 Peter 2:1-10, a steadfast church is built on Jesus—the cornerstone—and shaped by people who hunger for God, center their lives on Christ, stand firm in faith, and boldly proclaim His goodness.

This Sunday, we’ll see how God is forming us into a spiritual house, not just for ourselves but to display His glory in a broken world. Take a moment this week to reflect on this: Am I truly building my life on Christ? And am I planted in the kind of church that helps me stand strong?

This Week at Northbrook: Feb. 7

What are you really rooted in? We all look for stability—whether in success, relationships, or comfort—but only one foundation can truly sustain us when life gets shaky.

Have you ever wondered what real transformation looks like? More than simple self-improvement; God’s plan is to make Christ known in and through you.

What does it take to experience real transformation? This Sunday, we’ll continue our new series, Changed, as we dive into Colossians 1:15-20, where Paul invites us to marvel at the unmatched supremacy of Jesus. Here’s something to consider: Is Jesus just prominent in your life, or is He preeminent?
