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.

Live-streamed online at 9:00 am on Sundays

Quintin Legler - February 12, 2023

Religion or Relationship: Nehemiah's Example

Stand Alone Messages
  • Watch
  • Listen

What was it that made Nehemiah a man that God would choose to lead a struggling nation? He wasn't a leader or prophet in Israel. But it is evident through his prayers that he was devoted to God. Nehemiah knew the Scriptures well, therefore he knew God well, and he loved him. Today, Quintin Legler, one of our elders, shows us how God wants more than mere religion from us, He wants a relationship. Relationships require time and effort. So we must ask ourselves, are we spending the time needed to know and love God so that He will use us in remarkable ways?

Scripture References: Nehemiah 1:5-11, Deuteronomy 7:9, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Deuteronomy 11:1, Deuteronomy 11:13, Deuteronomy 11:22, Deuteronomy 19:9, Deuteronomy 30:16, Deuteronomy 30:20, Joshua 22:5, Joshua 23:11, Mark 22:37, John 17:3, John 3:16, Romans 5:15-19, Galatians 2:19-20, 1 Kings 11:1-6, 1 John 1:9, James 5:16, Romans 12:2

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!
