This Week at Northbrook: March 21, 2025
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?
21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Begins March 30
Join us for 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting as we seek God together — preparing our hearts for resurrection joy. Our goal is for at least 100 people to commit to this journey. Imagine the impact if we all sought God together!
What to expect:
Week 1 (March 30-April 5): Seek God personally — set aside one hour a day to be with Him, using the 21-day guide.
Week 2 (April 6-12): Pray together — Life Groups will gather for a focused hour of prayer on Sunday or Wednesday.
Week 3 (April 13-19): Pray as a church — join us for daily prayer & worship at 6 AM during Holy Week (in person or online).
