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 - June 4, 2023

Being Disciples of King Jesus

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

There is no gray area when following Jesus. Once you believe in Him and decide to follow Him, there is no going back to how things used to be. Today, we hear about the cost of following Jesus. But with that cost comes huge reward.

Scripture References: Matthew 9:36-38, Matthew 10:1-42

Micah Labovitch - November 13, 2022

A Leader Who Stands in the Gap Before God & Man

Ezra: The Lord Restores His People
  • Watch
  • Listen

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, 1 John 2:1-12, Psalms 106:34-3444, Deuteronomy 7:1-18, Job 33:1-33, Romans 2:1-11

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!
