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.

Last Sunday’s Message
Micah Labovitch - January 1, 2023
The After Party - How the Light of the World Radiates Jesus
In this final message of The Invitation of Advent, we look at how the plan was always that we would be with God. We started with Him in the garden. After we rebelled and separated ourselves from God because of our sin, God Himself put into motion the way that He would bring salvation to the whole world and bring us back into fellowship with Him.

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.

Micah Labovitch - November 27, 2022
The Announcement - How Prophecy Points to Jesus
From Genesis to the first chapter of Luke and John the Baptist, the Bible prophesies the coming of the Messiah. He was to be, and is, a light in the darkness. And light is good, brining hope and guidance. But the prophesies don't end there. The entire New Testament continues to point to Jesus. Even revelation points to His coming again. Now is the time to follow the Light!
