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.

Join us as we spend the next year learning what God has to show us in the book of Acts, starting September 14th.

Micah Labovitch - November 2, 2025

Fearful Witnesses (Acts 5:1-16)

Acts: The Living Witness of Jesus
  • Watch
  • Listen

There is a cost to having real relationships, where you are accountable to one another. In today's message, we hear about what happens when people hide and lie, and how that affects the church community that they are part of.

Scripture References: Acts 5:1-16, Acts 4:34-37, Isaiah 57:14-15, Isaiah 58:1-7, 2 Corinthians 9:7

Micah Labovitch - March 5, 2023

Lord, Forgive Us Our Sins

Nehemiah: The Lord Builds His Kingdom
  • Watch
  • Listen

Agony before ecstasy is the general rule in true Holy Spirit revival. Until we agonize over the depth of our sin and depravity, we won't arrive at the ecstasy of knowing we are freed from the guilt and consequences of that sin leading us to worship and praise our God. In today's message, the people of God are led as a community into confession, repentance and a renewed commitment to the Lord.

Scripture References: Nehemiah 9:1-38, Nehemiah 10:1-39, Acts 2:1-41

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!
