Welcome to our messages page, where you can hear relevant, encouraging and thought provoking teaching from the truths of the Bible.

Upcoming Sermon Series

Throughout the New Testament, the Psalms are referenced as a direct support for who Jesus Christ is, how the Old Testament anticipates His work, and what His crucifixion, death and resurrection means for each of us. This year, we will trace some of these references back to their sources in the Psalms together. Please join us as we seek to surrender ourselves fully to Jesus and connect with Him deeper through these Psalms this Easter Season!

Current Sermon Series

Sometimes in life, the hardest challenges we face are not just following God in the first place, but rather following Him for the long haul. It is not always easy to fully trust and surrender ourselves to God in every step on the long journey of faith. But God desires to walk with us, lead us, and to see His Kingdom built in us and through us. The book of Nehemiah continues on right where the book of Ezra left off: the people of God have been established back in Jerusalem again, have rebuilt the Temple of God, and have begun the hard process of restoration and sanctification with God. But the story is far from over. Join us for our study of Nehemiah in 2023 as we see God work with His restored people to build His kingdom- through great challenges and trials-  all pointing us to what life in the Kingdom of God truly means. Join us as we look to the King and His Kingdom together through Nehemiah in 2023.

Micah Labovitch - December 11, 2022

The Attendees - How the Shepherds Typify the Person of Jesus

The Invitation of Advent
  • Watch
  • Listen

The whole Bible points to our need for a true Shepherd who will guide us, protect us and lead us. So it is no accident that when the heavenly host proclaimed the advent of the Savior of the world, they came first to the shepherds.

Scripture References: Numbers 27:12-17, Ezekiel 34:2-16, Luke 2:8-20, Revelation 7:14-17, Exodus 3:1-2, 2 Samuel 7:14-20, 1 Peter 5:1-4, Genesis 49:22-24, Ecclesiastes 12:1, Ephesians 4:11, Genesis 48:14-16, Psalms 23:1-6, John 10:24-30, Genesis 46:31-34, 2 Samuel 7:8-13, John 10:11-18, Genesis 4:1-2, 2 Samuel 5:1-12, Jeremiah 23:1-8, Genesis 1:28

From Series: "The Invitation of Advent"

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.

Our Vision

Faith is a Journey

You never really “arrive” at becoming a mature disciple maker. We are all called to continually grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus, to grow in love for others, to get better at blessing those around us and to increasingly share the love of Jesus with everyone. At GREFC we realize this through four key areas: Connect, Equip, Serve & Go!
