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

The book of Ecclesiastes 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!

Micah Labovitch - January 15, 2023

Lord Let Your Kingdom Come

Nehemiah: The Lord Builds His Kingdom
  • Watch
  • Listen

God has something for each of us to do...a purpose for which he specifically designed us to do. In this sermon, we see how Nehemiah uses what God has given him to appraise the situation and devise a solution, then encourage others to work with him toward that solution. There is much to learn from Nehemiah about seeking to do things God's way with how He uniquely made each of us.

Scripture References: Nehemiah 2:9-20, Nehemiah 3:1-32

From Series: "Nehemiah: The Lord Builds His Kingdom"

Sometimes in life, the hardest challenges we face are not just following God in the first place, but rather following Him for the long haul. It is not always easy to fully trust and surrender ourselves to God in every step on the long journey of faith. But God desires to walk with us, lead us, and to see His Kingdom built in us and through us. The book of Nehemiah continues on right where the book of Ezra left off: the people of God have been established back in Jerusalem again, have rebuilt the Temple of God, and have begun the hard process of restoration and sanctification with God. But the story is far from over. Join us for our study of Nehemiah in 2023 as we see God work with His restored people to build His kingdom- through great challenges and trials- all pointing us to what life in the Kingdom of God truly means. Join us as we look to the King and His Kingdom together through Nehemiah in 2023.

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!
