This Week at Northbrook
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.
Alarms are meant to wake us up. They remind us something urgent is happening that can’t be ignored. So here’s the question, if eternity really is at stake, what is it going to take for you to start living like it?
This Sunday, we’ll wrap up our Threads series in 2 Corinthians 5:16-21, where Paul shows us how eternity changes everything about how we see ourselves and others. In Christ, we are made new, reconciled to God, and sent out as his ambassadors. Eternity isn’t a distant thought, but it's God’s call to live with urgency right now, pleading with others to be reconciled to him.
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.
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.
