January 22, 2023 Epiphany 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.

As the season of Epiphany continues, we hear the good news that Jesus brings light to scatter the darkness. Today’s gospel reading from Matthew 4:12-23 invites us to follow Jesus as his disciples. In this sermon, Pastor Paige points out that it isn’t always easy to do that, given the challenges of sin and the unexpected ways that darkness tries to sneak into our lives. By becoming human for us and our salvation, Jesus knows what that feels like. In his death on the cross and his resurrection, the light and power of God overcame the darkness once and for all, for us and for the whole world. Now we get to shine the light of our risen Lord everywhere we go.

[We had to cut the second reading, and the first reading & psalm might be hard to hear clearly, as the microphone batteries were dying.]

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!
