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.

Micah Labovitch - September 3, 2023

King Jesus Challenges Our Drive

The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Believe King Jesus?
  • Watch
  • Listen

Following Jesus is so much more than a ticket to heaven. When we decide to follow Jesus, He asks us to completely give up control over our own lives and hand it over to Him. This means we don't always get what we ask for in prayer and we're called to do things we wouldn't choose to do if left to ourselves. Listen in on what it means to "take up your cross" and follow Jesus.

Scripture References: Matthew 16:21-28

Ken Abramson - March 1, 2020

At War With The Flesh

At War With The Flesh
  • Watch
  • Listen

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!
