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

Coming Soon

Our Exodus sermon series is coming to a close and in June we will launch our summer sermon series on “Ecclesiastes: A Life Worth Living”. The book starts with the words, “Meaningless! Meaningless!” to describe humanity’s life here on Earth. While we are not able to control everything in our lives nor fully grasp God’s plan, we are called to rely on the one who can. Ecclesiastes invites us to live with open hands and faithful hearts, finding joy not in what we control, but in who we know: a good, purposeful, loving and eternal God. Join us on June 8th as the Bible teaches us about A Life Worth Living!

Our Current Sermon Series

YHWH (pronounced Yah-way) is the Hebrew name for God’s personal name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. In fact, the book of Exodus has some of the most explicit and impacting self-revelations by God in the entire Bible. The second book of the Torah, Exodus is not just a record of God’s actions to rescue His people; It is a personal record and account of God’s person, character, and nature on full display for all the nations to see and revere Him alone. So join us this year as we dive into our study of Exodus, to see YHWH on Display, in all of His tremendous, beautiful, mysterious, and intimate glory, power, sovereignty, and love.

We all fall prey to the lie that we are smarter, and somehow know better, than God regarding what our life should be like. We succumb to the falsehood that we get to decide what is right for our life, and sometimes for others' lives as well. The truth is that right belongs only to God. Our job is to understand what we have been saved from, and live lives based on our true identity...chosen, holy and loved.

Scripture References: Colossians 3:12-15, Romans 1:16-32, Romans 2:1-11, Romans 3:23

From Series: "Colossians: A Church Alive in Christ"

What does it mean to be a part of a “church”? And why would God even create “the church” in the first place? Come join us as we study the Letter of Colossians to explore these questions and more, learning and living out together what it means to be His church, fully alive in Christ now and forever!

Your flesh is not just your blood and bones. It is our sin nature that we inherited from Adam and Eve and it is at war with the Holy Spirit that resides in those who believe. Pastor Ken shows us what the flesh is and how it operates, keeping us from loving God and loving others.

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!
