January 15, 2023 Epiphany 2 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.

A lot of Christians, especially those invested in their churches, are vulnerable to frustration and disappointment now. Trends of lower participation, and of more people identifying as non-Christian, had been going on for decades, and the pandemic & lockdowns only accelerated them. The temptation is to say that "the world should change so they can come to us." But what if the Lord wants us to change so that we go to the world? What if caring about the well-being of the institution, and those already in it, is too small a hope? In this sermon from Isaiah 49:1-7, Pastor Eric uses the image of the Dead Sea to lift up God's call to mission for the sake of others.

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!
