January 31, 2021 Worship Service & Daily Devotions

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 give strength to your soul and draw you close to the Lord who loves you.

Our reading from 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 involves a topic that probably seems obscure to us: whether or not it is permissible for Christians to eat food that has been sacrificed to idols. But the issues underneath this question, and the way the Apostle Paul resolves it, resonate deeply with our needs for community and the kind of spiritual environment where we can grow in God’s grace. We hope you will continue to pursue your faith journey with daily devotions that can be downloaded here.

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 during this time of pandemic. Thank you!
