Our Next Sermon Series
The word Advent literally means “to arrive.” It is also the time each year in Christianity meant to draw our hearts to focus on what the arrival of Jesus really means in our lives. This year, at GREFC, we are aligning our Advent services with the traditional Sundays of Advent. We will be focusing in on Jesus’ birth story in Luke 1-2 and looking at how these six Sundays all display different perspectives on Jesus’ birth. But even more than that, through the lens of these six Sundays, we are going to look at how the entire biblical story- and the whole of human history- ultimately points us to this moment: the true invitation of the Advent of Jesus Christ. So, please, join us this Christmas season as we look to and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ together.

Last Sunday’s Message
Ken Abramson - October 6, 2019
Together, Living with Purpose - Introduction
In this introduction to the sermon series, Together, Living with Pupose, Pastor Ken Abramson shows how a church community is like a marriage, with stages of growth and health, alongside stages of stagnation. Most marriages settle for an "OK" marriage and never strive for or even know what a great, healthy, loving marriage is. Likewise, many churches settle for being a "nice Christian church", never knowing that there is so much more that God wants for us. Join us as we start down the path of God's vision for Grand Rapids Evangelical Free Church.
Scripture References: Matthew 16:15-18, Acts 2:42-47, Acts 1:6-8, Acts 1:1-2
From Series: "Together Living with Purpose"
Every church is not meant to be the same nor stay the same as it was. We all have at our core the same message, but how we share that message is unique and changes as the world changes around us. God calls each church to be unique so that we may reach the widest variety of people with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The church leaders have been meeting for several months to seek God's guidance about what He wants Grand Rapids Evangelical Free Church to be. Out of those meetings, the leadership has developed a revised vision statement for our church that spells out how GREFC is unique among area churches in how it will reach people for Jesus Christ. This sermon series details our revised vision statement, what it means and why we believe its the right path for us. Join us as we delve into Together, Living With Purpose.
