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.

Through a few stories, Jesus confronts and calls out the religious leaders of His day and us as well. They have held a place of high esteem, but decide they want to be Master instead, determining for themselves what is "right". But Jesus is clear. Those who simply want to the good things of God without wanting God Himself, will be judged and found wanting. And ultimately they will not only receive nothing, they will receive God's wrath.

Scripture References: Matthew 21:33-46, Matthew 22:1-14, Proverbs 9:7-12, Psalms 118:22-23, Romans 13:11-14, 2 Peter 1:10-15

From Series: "The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Love King Jesus?"

Through our study of the book of Matthew in 2023, we’ve come face to face with King Jesus. We’ve been challenged to follow Him. Challenged to Believe Him. But now as we launch into 2024 and, as the book of Matthew turns again to its final section, we each must face one final challenge in the ultimate question: Will you love King Jesus? Please, join us as we witness and respond together to our Savior King in His Passion, His death, and His resurrection!

This well known verse challenges us by making us reflect on our own disposition toward God. What type of soil is my heart right now? And how does it affect my relationship with Christ? And how do we cultivate good soil in our hearts so that we will become strong plants that make seeds that pour out to others?

Scripture References: Matthew 13:1-23, Matthew 7:7-8, Matthew 10:14, Isaiah 6:9-10

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!
