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.

Micah Labovitch - January 25, 2026

Glorifying Witnesses (Acts 12:1-25)

Acts: The Living Witness of Jesus
  • Watch
  • Listen

As the Gospel spreads, persecution of the early church increases with the death of James and the arrest of Peter. The church's first response, as our should be in times of trouble, is to pray, knowing and casting our cares to the One who is truly in control.

Scripture References: Acts 12:1-25

Ken Abramson - May 17, 2020

What About Living Within the Culture?

What About Living Within the Culture?
  • Watch
  • Listen

How should we, as Christians, live in this world where the culture is opposed to us? Do we go with the flow of culture? Do we barricade ourselves away? Or is there a better way forward? Pastor Ken Abramson helps us examine our response to the culture around us and what that says about our spiritual maturity.

Scripture References: Romans 12:2, James 4:4, John 17:14-19, John 4:31-35, 1 Corinthians 5:9-12, 2 Corinthians 5:16-20

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!
