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!

Micah Labovitch - February 5, 2023

Lord, Lead Us Not Into Temptation

Nehemiah: The Lord Builds His Kingdom
  • Watch
  • Listen

Nehemiah was beset with trouble from enemies outside of Jerusalem and problems within the community of God's people. In today's sermon, the enemy is the temptation to quit that rises up inside of us when we are opposed. But God has a purpose for Nehemiah, and for each of us, and want's us to stand in His strength in the face of our temptations and complete what He has set before us.

Scripture References: Nehemiah 6:1-14, Ephesians 2:8-10

From Series: "Nehemiah: The Lord Builds His Kingdom"

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.

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!
