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.

As we continue through Lent, a key conversation between Jesus and Peter unfolds as the disciples travel with Jesus in Mark 8:27-38. Peter identifies Jesus correctly as “the Messiah,” but then is surprised when Jesus defines that title in a radically new way. Pastor Paige invites listeners to consider the titles they bear, and how prioritizing one particular title above all others makes a difference for their lives.

On this first Sunday in Lent, we read Mark 1:9-15 and hear about the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. He announces a new Kingdom, a new way of life. Pastor Eric’s sermon helps us to see this Kingdom, in contrast with the kingdom of the world, by looking at the “directions” found in this Gospel reading.

Ash Wednesday (February 17, 2021) Worship

We welcome you to Reformation’s Ash Wednesday worship. Today marks the beginning of Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter. We begin this season of penitence with a service focused on confessing our sin to the Lord, who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.

In a time when we have already given up so many things, let Ash Wednesday and Lent be a time of setting our hearts on the love and mercy of Christ, who takes our sins away and gives us new life.

This service includes a postlude of reflective music; we encourage you to continue to pray, confess, and meditate on the love of God during that time.

This is a festival day, the celebration of The Transfiguration of Our Lord. The gospel lesson from Mark 9:2-9 tells the story of Jesus transfigured in dazzling light on a mountaintop. A few of his closest disciples witness Jesus shining with the glory of God. What will they do with that vision? How will it change them? In this sermon, Pastor Paige invites listeners to look upon Jesus, transfigured on the mountain, and to consider how they, too, are changed by seeing our Lord in this new and inspiring way.

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.
