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.

Last Sunday’s Message

Chris Brown - February 8, 2026

Purposeful Witnesses (Acts 13:13-52)

Today's sermon focuses on Paul's first recorded sermon which he shares with the Jews. He expertly highlight's God's plans in the old testament then moves on to show how Jesus is the perfect savior their people needed. We can learn much from his example, whenever we preach our "next best sermon" to those around us when we share the Gospel.

Scripture References: Acts 13:13-52, Isaiah 53:3-6, Psalms 16:9-11, Psalms 2:7, Isaiah 55:3-5, John 6:35, Habakkuk 1:1-5, Isaiah 49:6

Pastor Micah kicks off a new sermon series this morning, "Acts: The Living Witness of Jesus." After Jesus's resurrection detailed at the end of the book of Luke, the beginning of Acts starts with the forty days He was on earth before His ascension where He tells the now eleven apostles to wait for the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

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!
