February 26, 2023 Lent 1 Sunday 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.

Why are we here? Genesis 2:15 gives us an answer: we are meant to be gardeners. Now, that's a metaphor. Gardeners take the world around them and work to make it more productive or beautiful. We were created to help the creation around us -including other people!- thrive and grow in glory. But our sin has disconnected us from this high and holy calling. In Matthew 4:1-11, we hear the story of how Jesus overcomes temptation to restore us to our deepest meaning. Pastor Eric helps us see that through a pilgrimage in the desert, we can rediscover the purpose of the Garden.

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!
