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.

For the 2025 Advent season, we will be continuing in Acts, focusing on Chapters 8 & 9, highlighting God’s gift to humanity through stories of the spread of the Gospel beyond Jerusalem.

Micah Labovitch - November 30, 2025

The Gift of Repentance (Acts 8:4-25)

  • Watch
  • Listen

In today's sermon we hear about a man named Simon who responded to the Gospel but also continued to seek his own glory. People have to come to the point of admitting that they have nothing to bring to the table when it comes to God. You can never earn, nor repay, nor deserve the free and loving gift of God.

Scripture References: Acts 8:4-25, Acts 8:1-3, Acts 6:5, Isaiah 9:2-3, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 1:30-33, 2 Peter 2:1-22

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, 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!
