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

Current Sermon Series

As we finished our sermon series in Ezra and Nehemiah, you may have gotten a sense that the story was still… incomplete. The Lord restored His remnant people and rebuilt His kingdom, but the old patterns of sin and rebellion returned all over again. And for 400 years, God’s people cried out, waiting for the King of the Kingdom to come. Well, in the Gospel of Matthew, the answer finally comes. We encounter at last the good news of the arrival of the long-anticipated king. And his name is Jesus. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah long for the Savior King; the Psalms resonate with the Savior King; and, as we saw at Advent, the whole bible ultimately points to this Savior King: Jesus Christ. But who is King Jesus? What did He say? And how can we know Him even now? Join us this Spring, Summer, and Fall as we meet King Jesus face-to-face in the Gospel of Matthew, seeking to truly experience personally the Good News of King Jesus together.

Quintin Legler - February 12, 2023

Religion or Relationship: Nehemiah's Example

Historical Sermons
  • Watch
  • Listen

What was it that made Nehemiah a man that God would choose to lead a struggling nation? He wasn't a leader or prophet in Israel. But it is evident through his prayers that he was devoted to God. Nehemiah knew the Scriptures well, therefore he knew God well, and he loved him. Today, Quintin Legler, one of our elders, shows us how God wants more than mere religion from us, He wants a relationship. Relationships require time and effort. So we must ask ourselves, are we spending the time needed to know and love God so that He will use us in remarkable ways?

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!
