December 11, 2022 Advent 3 Worship Service

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.

John the Baptist was stuck in jail. How can this be? Isn't he a faithful servant of the Lord? Jesus gives John words of encouragement, but also a challenge. In this sermon from Matthew 11:2-11, Pastor Eric lifts up the hope of Christ's power even in our trials, reminding us that Jesus does not lead us around struggles, but through them. There is also a word of challenge, though: the kingdom of Jesus is cross-shaped. It comes not just for our blessing, but so that we can be made into the kind of community that can bless others. This is not easy, but it is the path of life.

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!
