January 8, 2023 Worship! (The Baptism of Our Lord, with a little Epiphany!)

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. The button above will allow you to download a bulletin to help follow along in the service. Our daily devotions guide is still “on hiatus,” but will come back soon. On January 8, we are celebrating both the festival of The Epiphany as well as The Baptism of Our Lord.

So much of what people do boils down to pursuing feelings of worthiness, belonging, and acceptance. And no matter how hard we work for it, we are often left disappointed or disillusioned. But the story of Jesus' baptism offers us a different way. What if, instead of spending our lives working for acceptance, we could live our lives FROM the gift of acceptance by God? In this sermon from Matthew 3:13-17, Pastor Eric invites us to see how Christ's baptism reveals what happens in our own baptisms, and how that can empower us to live transformed, healed, and holy lives.

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!
