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.

Join us as we spend the next year learning what God has to show us in the book of Acts, starting September 14th.

Micah Labovitch - September 14, 2025

Acts: The Living Witness of Jesus
  • Watch
  • Listen

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.

Scripture References: Acts 1:1-11, Luke 1:1-4, Zechariah 8:1-8, Luke 21:25-28

Micah Labovitch - January 28, 2024

King Jesus on Love & Understanding

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

Through three question and answer sessions with various groups - Parasites, Pretenders, and Peacocks - that were trying to trap Him, Jesus teaches some valuable insights about what God really desires for His people.

Scripture References: Matthew 22:15-46

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!

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!
