Get Ready for Sunday: Living as Those Raised with Christ

This Week at Northbrook: Feb. 14

What really shapes your life? Is it your desires? Your habits? Your past? This Sunday, we’ll be in Colossians 3:1-11, where Paul reminds us that if we’ve been raised with Christ, our lives should look radically different.

Being raised with Christ gives us clarity—it shifts our focus to heavenly things, secures our identity in God, and compels us to put sin to death. True transformation happens when we stop just trying to be better and start living in the reality of who we are in Jesus.

Take a moment today to ask yourself: Am I living like someone raised with Christ? Let’s prepare our hearts to embrace the change that comes when Christ is truly all in our lives.

Looking forward to worshiping with you!
