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 - April 27, 2025

YHWH Faces the Unfaithful

Watch
Listen

YHWH's people, having previously promised that they would hold to God's covenant, are found worshiping a cast idol when Moses comes down from the mountain of God. We often wonder how they could have gotten spiritual amnesia so quickly, but we often do the same. God gives us, just like the Israelites, a choice: Choose Him, repent and follow His ways, or face the dire consequences that God hands you.

Scripture References: Exodus 32:1-18, Exodus 33:1-6, Exodus 19:4-8, Exodus 20:1-6, Exodus 24:7-8, Hebrews 10:23-31, Hebrews 12:1-7, Hebrews 12:12-14

From Series: "Exodus: YHWH on Display"

YHWH (pronounced Yah-way) is the Hebrew name for God’s personal name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. In fact, the book of Exodus has some of the most explicit and impacting self-revelations by God in the entire Bible. The second book of the Torah, Exodus is not just a record of God’s actions to rescue His people; It is a personal record and account of God’s person, character, and nature on full display for all the nations to see and revere Him alone. So join us this year as we dive into our study of Exodus, to see YHWH on Display, in all of His tremendous, beautiful, mysterious, and intimate glory, power, sovereignty, and love.

The Entourage - How Angels Proclaim the Glory of Jesus

Watch
Listen

There is much we don't know about angels but we do know that these messengers worship God and obey His Word. These fellow servants were waiting in eager anticipation for Jesus to come and redeem us. They care for us because God cares.

From Series: "The Invitation of Advent"

The word Advent literally means “to arrive.” It is also the time each year in Christianity meant to draw our hearts to focus on what the arrival of Jesus really means in our lives. This year, at GREFC, we are aligning our Advent services with the traditional Sundays of Advent. We will be focusing in on Jesus’ birth story in Luke 1-2 and looking at how these six Sundays all display different perspectives on Jesus’ birth. But even more than that, through the lens of these six Sundays, we are going to look at how the entire biblical story- and the whole of human history- ultimately points us to this moment: the true invitation of the Advent of Jesus Christ. So, please, join us this Christmas season as we look to and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ together.
