Welcome to our messages page, where you can hear relevant, encouraging and thought provoking teaching from the truths of the Bible.

Current Sermon Series

As we finished our sermon series in Ezra and Nehemiah, you may have gotten a sense that the story was still… incomplete. The Lord restored His remnant people and rebuilt His kingdom, but the old patterns of sin and rebellion returned all over again. And for 400 years, God’s people cried out, waiting for the King of the Kingdom to come. Well, in the Gospel of Matthew, the answer finally comes. We encounter at last the good news of the arrival of the long-anticipated king. And his name is Jesus. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah long for the Savior King; the Psalms resonate with the Savior King; and, as we saw at Advent, the whole bible ultimately points to this Savior King: Jesus Christ. But who is King Jesus? What did He say? And how can we know Him even now? Join us this Spring, Summer, and Fall as we meet King Jesus face-to-face in the Gospel of Matthew, seeking to truly experience personally the Good News of King Jesus together.

Micah Labovitch - April 30, 2023

Being Called by King Jesus

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

The term “disciple” means “the student of a teacher.” But in the Hebrew culture, you didn’t just spend an hour or two with your teacher. You molded your entire life to look like your teacher. The apostle and disciple Matthew recorded in his Gospel a teaching from Jesus that lays out a step-by-step plan for what it means to follow and be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Scripture References: Matthew 4:18-25, Job 42:1-6, Psalms 51:16-19, John 1:35-42, Matthew 5:1-16

Micah Labovitch - August 28, 2022

Continuing Firmly in the Lord

How Will You Endure for our Lord?
  • Watch
  • Listen

Many people focus too heavily on when Jesus is coming again when we should really be focused on bring prepared when He comes. From being on the lookout for dangerous imposters, to being equipped in the Word of God and then using it to equip others, we need to continue to be fixated on Jesus Himself, day by day.

Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:14-17

From Series: How Will You Endure for our Lord? | More Messages from Micah Labovitch | Download Audio

From Series: "How Will You Endure for our Lord? "

Jesus said, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples…,” but how do we do that? How do we stay fixed on Jesus and His Word, no matter the circumstance or struggle? How do we endure in our relationship with Him, no matter what? In 2 nd Timothy, Paul’s “Swan Song” to his spiritual son, we see Paul’s reflections as he faces the end of his life on earth. He wrestles with the two questions: Did he serve the faith and endure in his relationship with God well? And now, how can he help others do the same? Join us in 2 Timothy as we explore this together, letting God ask the question, “How Will You Endure For Our Lord?”

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!
