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.

YHWH's people, having previously promised that they would hold to God's covenant, are found worshiping a cast idol when Moses comes down from the mountain of God. We often wonder how they could have gotten spiritual amnesia so quickly, but we often do the same. God gives us, just like the Israelites, a choice: Choose Him, repent and follow His ways, or face the dire consequences that God hands you.

Micah Labovitch - November 13, 2022

A Leader Who Stands in the Gap Before God & Man

Ezra: The Lord Restores His People

After finding out that the returned exiles have taken wives from among the pagan nations, Ezra is distraught and broken on behalf of his fellow Israelites. Through confession and prayer he advocates to God for the people of God. Follow along to hear how this humble leader is the picture of our true Advocate, Jesus Christ.

Scripture References: Ezra 9:1-15, Romans 2:1-11, Job 33:1-33, Deuteronomy 7:1-18, Psalms 106:34-3444, 1 John 2:1-12

From Series: "Ezra: The Lord Restores His People"

For seventy years in exile and captivity, the people of God were chastised and broken. Having ignored hundreds of years of warnings from His prophets, God finally allowed Jerusalem to be destroyed and a remnant to be taken to Babylon. His people were devastated, distraught, and disciplined. But then, the call for restoration came. We have all been there. The Lord has allowed us to face the consequences of our choices, and sometimes they have been severe. But then, by the grace of God, the call of restoration comes. This is where the book of Ezra begins. Join us as we study Ezra together this fall, looking at the restoration of God’s people, and how it all ultimately points to the final restoration His people will have in Jesus Christ.

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!
