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 for the coming week with reflections on this Sunday’s Scripture readings, a schedule of psalms to read and pray through, and guides for your prayers of intercession.

Matthew 18 contains Jesus' teaching about reconciliation and forgiveness. But he isn't just giving relationship advice; he is charting the course for the integrity of the Christian community and for our growth in spiritual and personal maturity. In this sermon based on Matthew 18:21-35, Pastor Eric reaches back to last week's Gospel on the process for reconciliation that Jesus commands, and looks at how this week's words can point us to the strength and compassion to put that process into practice. What is essential is not what we do, but what has been done for us: the life-giving mercy of Jesus has been poured out on you. His love is what makes our healthy relationships possible.

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!
