This Week at Northbrook
A covenant only works if you keep choosing it. So here’s the question: what are you saying “I do” to with your life right now, and does it actually lead you toward God or away from Him?
This Sunday in Forged, we’ll walk through Deuteronomy 30:11-20, where Moses invites God’s people to step into a covenant relationship that leads to real life.
Every day you are moving down a path—toward blessing or toward breakdown. The question is, which direction is your life actually headed?
This week in Forged, we’ll walk through Deuteronomy 28, where Moses lays out two very different paths for God’s people. One path is marked by obedience that opens the door to God’s favor. The other is shaped by disobedience that slowly unravels the life God intends.
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.
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.
Forgetting what God has done isn’t just careless, it’s dangerous. When you lose sight of His faithfulness, you start drifting toward substitutes that can’t sustain you. So the question is what part of your faith have you stopped remembering to live out?
This Sunday, Pastor Keith will walk us through Deuteronomy 4:1-9, where Moses challenges God’s people to remember His truth, live it out boldly, and guard it diligently.
God’s promises aren’t passive, they require pursuit. What if the biggest threat to your spiritual growth isn’t what’s against you, but what you’re still allowing to stay with you?
This Sunday in Forged, we’ll step into Numbers 33, where Israel stands at the edge of the Promised Land.
Every generation is shaped by what the last one chooses to remember or forget. What kind of faith are we passing down to those who come after us?
This Sunday, our worship pastor, Jeremy Samplaski, will open Psalm 78 and help us see the urgent call God gives His people to raise up the next generation in faith.
Sometimes the biggest barriers we face aren’t out there–they’re in here. What if the real roadblock keeping you from experiencing God’s promises isn’t your circumstances, but your unbelief?
This Sunday we continue our Forged series in Numbers 14:11–24, where Israel stood on the edge of the Promised Land but refused to move forward in faith.
Discontentment always starts small, but it never stays small. It eats away at your joy, blinds you to God’s provision, and leaves you chasing what will never satisfy. So here’s the question: what have you been craving lately that may be an indicator you don’t really believe God is enough?
We all like to know where we’re going and how long it will take to get there. But what if God cares more about shaping you on the journey than getting you to the destination? How willing are you to let Him set the pace?
This Sunday we begin a new series called Forged, walking through Israel’s wilderness years in Numbers and Deuteronomy. In Numbers 9, God leads His people with a cloud by day and fire by night—a visible reminder that His presence, His path, and His pace are what matter most. For Israel, and for us, the joy of God’s promises begins with daily dependence.
We’re not "basically good people who just need a little help." The Bible paints a far more sobering picture. So here’s the question: when God says no one is righteous, do you believe him, or do you quietly make yourself the exception?
This Sunday, we continue our THREADS series by looking at the second thread of the gospel—our complete sinfulness—through Romans 3:9-20. Paul doesn’t leave any wiggle room. The damage is done. The ruin is real. Our words and our walk expose the truth: we’re all guilty before a holy God. But here’s the good news, Jesus offers his perfect righteousness, not as a reward for your effort, but as a gift to be received by faith.
We’re kicking off a brand-new series this week called Threads, where we’ll trace the core truths of the gospel—truths that connect every part of our faith and transform the way we live.
Holiness is where it all begins. God’s holiness is a reality that exposes our hearts and changes our lives. So here’s the question, have you ever truly considered what would happen if you stood in the presence of a perfectly holy God?
What if the pain you rushed through was actually a place where God was quietly pulling you closer to himself? Sometimes clarity doesn’t come in the moment but in the looking back. Like we often say, hindsight is 20/20.
This Sunday in Psalm 18, we’ll join David as he reflects on the darkest chapters of his life. At the time, it felt like chaos. But now, with age and perspective, he sees God’s steady hand at work. This passage helps us reframe our past, not just as something to survive, but as something God can use to grow trust, shape character, and stir gratitude. Psalm 18 invites us to reexamine our own story with fresh eyes and renewed trust.
Every throne on earth eventually crumbles, but not the Lord's. So, if Jesus is already reigning as King, what space in your life still resists his authority and rule? And if you really believed he’s already won, how does that change the way you live today?
This Sunday, we’ll walk through Psalm 110, a powerful prophecy that pulls back the curtain on Jesus as our ruling, priestly, and victorious King. He’s not waiting to reign someday. He’s reigning right now. And he deserves our full allegiance, not just in eternity, but in every square inch of our lives today.
