Get Ready for Sunday: Rooted in Christ

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.

This Sunday, we’ll dive into Colossians 2:6-15, where Paul reminds us that real transformation happens when our lives are deeply rooted in Christ. As we grow in Him, we flourish, experience fullness, and walk in true freedom. The deeper our roots in Jesus, the stronger and more unshakable our faith becomes.

Take a moment today to reflect: Is my life firmly planted in Christ, or am I still looking for fulfillment elsewhere? Let’s prepare our hearts to grow deeper together!

Looking forward to worshiping with you!

PS:
As we pursue transformational growth together, we want to equip and encourage you along the way. Download a summary eBook of Pastor Keith’s January Midweek Summit on Cultivating Personal Spiritual Health today!
