By his wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 2:24 is a profound summary of the gospel.

Peter raised the strongest objections to the sufferings of Christ during his earthly ministry, yet he identifies himself as "a witness to the sufferings of Christ" in his first epistle.

This is why we ordinarily sing psalms at @Reformeddc.

[Brian Lee @RevDrBLee]

Sermon text tomorrow at @ReformedDC, Luke 24:36-49.

Luke 24 contains the "Rosetta Stone" for the Bible. How should we read scripture? The way Christ taught us to.

Since everything written about the Christ in the psalms must be fulfilled... we'll be singing Psalm 22. Twice.

We encourage you to set aside for household worship this Sunday. The URCNA Book of Forms and Prayers includes not only liturgical forms for public worship, some of which may be adapted for personal use, but also prayers and meditations for the home.

Due to the forecast of dangerous and inclement weather this Sunday, we are canceling our worship services this Lord's Day, January 25.

[Christ Reformed DC @ReformedDC]

This Sunday at @ReformedDC: "Preaching Christ Crucified: Luke's Account of the Cross," from @RevDrBLee

[Brian Lee @RevDrBLee]

For Luke, the first person to "Preach Christ Crucified" was Christ himself, from the cross. His "orderly account" of Christ's crucifixion and death contains occurs in four scenes, with four sayings of our Lord unique to his gospel.

@ReformedDC tomorrow.

Continental Reformed Churches make provision for special worship services on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Or, as they used to call it, "Old Year's Day." I like that expression. (We don't call a service at @ReformedDC because our congregation is mostly traveling.

@BenSasse's profound recent announcement of his cancer diagnosis is the fruit of a carefully cultivated life of worship and theological reflection.

He unpacks this heavenly wisdom in a '22 presentation at @ReformedDC.

Well worth a listen.

At year's end, we reflect on a year of worship at @ReformedDC.

Since we keep a Google doc of our worship selections, we asked gemini (sorry, @grok) to analyze our song selections for the year. This is what AI produced based upon a simple list of dates and tune selections.
