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

Our Current Sermon Series

While history has traditionally seen Acts simply as stories about the Apostles – we now see the book is so much more. It is certainly an account of the eleven disciples after Jesus is raised from the dead, but even more so, it is an account of the early Christians: an account of the Holy spirit, an account of the early church, and most significantly, the account of the continued work of Jesus Christ and God Himself, bringing His living witness to the ends of the Earth through His people. So, come join us this year as we  explore how the Gospel of Christ first changed the world, and as we ourselves learn what it means to let that same gospel change our lives and our world, even today.

Live-streamed online at 9:00 am on Sundays

Ken Abramson - September 6, 2020

Counter Cultural Sin

Counter Cultural Sin
  • Watch
  • Listen

Many in our culture mistakenly believe that people, at the core, are good, that the path to heaven is in trying to do more good things than bad, and that as God evaluates them, they will be found weighted in the right direction. But the first few verses in Ephesians 2 confirm that this is not true. Once we decide to follow Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us and starts a battle with our fleshly nature. The question is: Who is winning?

Scripture References: Ephesians 2:1-3, Galatians 5:17-20

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!
