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

Current Sermon Series

Whether you love them or despise them, Christmas Songs are a concrete part of the “Christmas Season” in our culture. From radio stations to musical toys to Christmas specials and movies, Christmas music saturates the Christmas season. But even more than just in our modern age, the reality is that for thousands of years Christians have written hymns, songs, and carols to celebrate Jesus’ arrival on earth. And even before that, God’s people had written songs- in the bible- that point His people to what would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This year, we will explore six of these biblical songs- contained outside the Psalms- and prayerfully discover new treasures and insights into what God has revealed and done in the arrival of His Son, Jesus Christ, at Christmas. So turn on your favorite Christmas playlist, grab some hot cocoa, and join us this Christmas season!

Be in scripture throughout the advent season! Download our Advent Devotional Plan.

Micah Labovitch - October 2, 2022

Respond, Stand Strong, and Surrender to God

Ezra: The Lord Restores His People
  • Watch
  • Listen

Just as in the time of Ezra, we will have people who oppose us because of our faith in God. If we follow the example of the Israelites when they were rebuilding the temple, we will not sit idly by, but we will respond and stand strong, knowing that we are a people surrendered to the provision and protection of God.

Scripture References: Ezra 5:1-17, Ezra 6:1-13

From Series: "Ezra: The Lord Restores His People"

For seventy years in exile and captivity, the people of God were chastised and broken. Having ignored hundreds of years of warnings from His prophets, God finally allowed Jerusalem to be destroyed and a remnant to be taken to Babylon. His people were devastated, distraught, and disciplined. But then, the call for restoration came. We have all been there. The Lord has allowed us to face the consequences of our choices, and sometimes they have been severe. But then, by the grace of God, the call of restoration comes. This is where the book of Ezra begins. Join us as we study Ezra together this fall, looking at the restoration of God’s people, and how it all ultimately points to the final restoration His people will have in Jesus Christ.

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!
