September 18, 2022 Worship Service ("Politics Is Penultimate")

We are so glad you’re joining Reformation for online worship! We hope that this time of prayer, song, and hearing the Word of God will help you to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus and grow in your love and service. Please use the buttons above to download a bulletin to help you follow along with the service, and a daily devotional guide based on this Sunday’s readings to keep strengthening your faith through the week.

When you find yourself in a political conversation, or seeing political / cultural posts online, does your mind end up, in the words of St. Paul, "quiet and peaceable... in all godliness and dignity"? Probably not. And yet, how we govern our society matters. So how can we be engaged in civic life in a way that makes a positive impact without compromising our mental well-being or our spiritual integrity? In this sermon from 1Timothy 2:1-7, Pastor Eric looks at one possible reason why our cultural conversations are so emotionally fraught, and what remedy the Gospel might offer. But more than that, he encourages us to reconsider our commitment not only to our political party, but to the will and mission of Jesus Christ in this time and place.

This is a recording of our 8:30 service. After the service, we invite you to fill out an online response card here. Also, if you are able, we invite you to partner with us by financially supporting Reformation here. Your generosity allows us to bring the hope of Jesus to Milford and beyond. Thank you!
