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.

Micah Labovitch - September 24, 2023

Behold and Listen to the Gracious King

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

We don't always handle broken relationships the way we should. In today's sermon, Jesus calls all of us, not just pastors and elders, to do whatever it takes to restore someone to fellowship through forgiveness and to expose the truth. We need to realize the insurmountable debt of sin that we each have had cleared by Jesus and extend that same limitless grace to others.

Scripture References: Matthew 18:15-35, Genesis 4:23-24, Exodus 34:5-8

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!
