Mark 4:26-29  Winter is over, spring has sprung and hopefully this current swampy-mud season will lead to a quick green up. Jesus taught about seeds and how they grow and then are harvested – it’s interesting to think about. An old comedian Fred Allen used to say, “Most of us spend the first six days of each week sowing wild oats; then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure.”   What...

What do we need to do to experience confidence and assurance that the Lord will provide our needs? Are Philippians 4:13 (“I can do all things through Christ”) and 4:19 (“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus”) conditional or unconditional promises? Have you ever claimed God’s promises and prayed for something important and seen God answer? Would y...

Our Good Friday Service is a time to worship and reflect on Jesus suffering and being crucified. He shed His blood to make the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He was forced to wear a crown of thorns and mockingly called the King of the Jews. In the future He will return as the King of Kings and everyone will bow to Him. Pastor Chris Teien pastorchris@rockwell.church #rockwellchurchmn #virginiamn #i...

It’s Palm Sunday and we are going to focus on how Jesus, motivated by awesome joy, purposefully went to the cross to rescue us from our sins. Pastor Chris will share seven things that will help you experience and spread that kind of joy. Hebrews 12:2–3 says, “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat d...

It’s Communion Sunday - a perfect time to reflect on how you have been spending your life and choose to recommit to pursuing the Lord’s plans for us. When you were in school did you ever listen closely to your teacher or professor to find out what was on the test or how to get a good grade? In Mark 12:28-34 Jesus told us clearly that if we do two things we will be on the way to a life well lived....

God is all powerful and able to help you accomplish His purposes for your life. He guides and provides according to His perfect timing and sovereign will often answering prayer in amazing ways.

Our lives are filled with distractions, difficulties and duties that can keep us from pursuing God’s best plan for our lives. The Apostle Paul was held captive, surrounded by conflict and even had health issues, but he kept pressing on and he wrote about it in Philippians chapter 3.

If you want to fully experience the Christ-life, be effective at encouraging people around you and stand strong in times of difficulty you need to be confident in your faith. In the beginning of Philippians chapter 3 the Apostle Paul lays out some reasons why he is convinced of his genuine faith and warns us against those who would try to lead us astray. Pastor Chris Teien pastorchris@rockwell.chu...

I have made a lot of friends through church connections over the years. Often when people visit our church they are looking to see if there are people they can become friends with. Serving Jesus with others is a great adventure and we are usually more fruitful when we aren’t ministering all alone. The Old and New Testament is full of stories of friends. In Philippians 2 Paul shows us some characte...

Your attitude can determine your direction. impact the choices you make, and affect the way people respond to you.

Paul coaches the Philippians that “…their attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Listen and be encouraged to choose a winning attitu...

John Cowan delivers a powerful message on the courage to share our faith in Jesus. Using Acts 4 , he highlights how Peter and John boldly proclaimed the gospel despite persecution. The message explores why Christians often hesitate to speak about Christ, how the Holy Spirit empowers us, and how we can confidently share the gospel in a world that often pushes back. John encourages believers to pray...

Like a bad winter storm, conflict can blow in when we least expect it. The Apostle Paul’s life was full of trouble as he was misunderstood by those inside and outside of the church and he was being held in a Roman prison. In his letter to the church at Philippi, he taught how we should respond to adversity and relationship problems. In Philippians 1:27 Paul says: “Whatever happens, conduct yoursel...

Wondering what comes next and having no idea how much longer you have to wait to find out can be very stressful. In Philippians 1:20-26 the Apostle Paul’s life is stuck on pause as he is chained in prison waiting to see what the verdict will be. In this passage Paul shares he is ready to glorify Jesus with his life or with his death. Why does God allow us to endure long seasons of waiting? Listen...

Some of the most stressful times come when life doesn’t go as planned. When you get trapped in circumstances you can’t control or you don’t know how you are going to be able to move forward you can either shut down or keep persevering. In the Philippians 1:12-19 we see how the apostle Paul got stuck chained in prison when he expected to be traveling around proclaiming Jesus and establishing new ch...

Life can be really stressful when relationships get messy. Sometimes we experience trouble with family, friends, coworkers or even church people. In Philippians 1:3-11 the Apostle Paul models how to have great relationships and we can apply those same points to help fix our messy relationships.
