Well Faith with Chris Teien

One of our favorite parts of the Christmas story is when Angels appear to the social- outcast shepherds and invite them to go see the newborn Savior of the world. What they heard and what they experienced gave them confidence to find the baby and share all they saw and heard. In Luke 2:20 we read the best line: “The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard...

Jesus stepfather Joseph was given the great opportunity and the sometimes worrisome task of protecting and providing for Jesus and his mother Mary. Repeatedly an Angel would show up in Joseph’s dreams and tell him to move in a different direction to keep Jesus safe and to place Him right where God wanted Him to be. We read the Christmas story and see how this turned out well, but Joseph and Mary h...

a new message series to celebrate the Hope found through Christ and help deal with the things that may hinder people from experiencing the true meaning of Christmas. The first message from Luke chapter 1 is about sharing hope even when we feel unworthy. Elizabeth felt too old, Zachariah was left speechless after his unbelief, and Mary was troubled when the Angel showed up and said God has chosen y...

We look at what the Bible says in Psalm 107 about being thankful, grateful and blessed even when life is difficult and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. Being thankful is an important part of worship. The Lord expects us to be grateful as He works things out in our lives and answers our prayers. When we follow God’s will and plans we can expect to be blessed. Be encouraged to see what Go...

We seem to make time for the things we value and desire. There’s an old hymn with a great back story called “Take Time to be Holy” that has encouraged Christ-followers for generations. It’s based on Hebrews 12:14, “ Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord .” The way we spend our time today can make a difference for ete...

We have been looking at the life of Joseph and his troubled family in the book of Genesis. In this week’s episode, while Joseph’s family struggles with their guilt from the past, Joseph finally reveals his true identity. As Joseph stayed faithful to God during the most difficult times of his life, God was helping him grow into the man he would need to be to save the world from starvation and be re...

We are looking at the life of Joseph and his troubled family in the book of Genesis. Joseph stayed faithful to God during the most difficult times of his life. His brothers kept their wicked secret from their father that they had threatened to kill Joseph, selling him into slavery, and convincing their dad that Joseph was killed by a wild animal. In this week’s episode, the brothers suspect their...

We are looking at the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis. A guy who kept his faith in God even when it seemed everything was against him. Today we see how Joseph finally experiences the freedom and success he was dreaming of. It’s one of those ah-hah moments when he can now look back and see how God was using the hard situations (and maybe even testing his faith) to get Joseph ready to fulfill...

We are looking at how God worked in the life of Joseph from the book of Genesis. Joseph had big dreams and high expectations that were shattered by brothers who hated him so much they almost killed him, a slave owner who punished him even though Joseph did everything right, and some guys he met in prison that forgot to work to help him. While Joseph did not lose his faith in God during these hard...

We are looking at how God worked in the life of Joseph from the book of Genesis. Even though he was sold into slavery by his own brothers, ripped away from his father and forced to serve someone else, Joseph was faithful to do right and honor God. Eventually he became loyal to the slave owner and when he chose to do what was right and honorable he ended up falsely accused in prison. And the Bible...

We are looking at how God worked in the life of Joseph from the book of Genesis. As a teenager he had big dreams of a great destiny, yet everything seemed to be going in the opposite direction of that in his life. While he couldn’t control the difficult events that held him back, Joseph is a model of faithful consistency. Be encouraged to stay consistent in the hard times and reap the rewards when...

God gives us church as a gift and a resource. Jesus loves the church His bride and sacrificed His life for her. Church is not a building. Church is a group of called people who share Jesus salvation, the empowering of the Holy Spirit, and our Heavenly Father. The church is on a mission to worship and server by meeting needs, reaching out and working together. Like the human body, the local church...

Rockwell Church exists to connect people of all ages to Christ the Rock and our motivation needs to be the type of love Jesus showed us. Pastor Chris Teien Helping you apply God's Word and follow Jes...

This week we are looking at why we need to give and receive encouragement. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, “So encourage each other and build each other up…” And 2 Corinthians 13:11 instructs Christ-followers, “…Be Joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.” Listen to be encouraged to see how God works to provide encourage...

When we talk about worship as part of living a well life in Christ, we aren’t just talking about sitting in a church worship service, singing worship songs or praying worshipful prayers. Scripture makes it clear that God is watching for true worshipers who will worship Him through the things they say and do in their everyday lives. Jesus says in John 4:23-24 , “the time is coming—indeed it’s here...

What does it really mean when we say, “ Rockwell Church exists to connect people of all ages to Christ the Rock ” as we are sharing what our church is all about? We know Jesus taught the wise person built his house on the rock (not the sand). And we know Jesus told Peter upon this rock He would build His church. And we know that 1 Cor 10:3-4 says, “…they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled...
