Well Faith with Chris Teien

Sometimes it is hard to see, but there are people around us who are drowning as the godless culture, financial burdens and broken relationships seem to be pulling them under. Like a life preserver floatation device helps people keep their head above water, the words of Psalm 119:33-40 offer instructions and hope that the Lord can get us safely back to shore. Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday to...

God is the author of life and on many occasions caused the death of those He thought deserved it. The Bible is full of stories of God’s people killing their enemies. As we remember those who sacrificed their lives to protect or rescue others this Memorial Day weekend, this a good time to look at the 6th Commandment, “You shall not murder” found in Exodus 20:13. We are going to look at what the Bib...

When God created the world, He paused on the seventh day to show us how to rest. When God gave the Ten Commandments, He prescribed the Sabbath to make sure His people took time to rest. Exodus 20:8 says, “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” But the Sabbath was actually on Saturday and now most of us worship on Sunday. Do we need to keep the Sabbath like the Israelites did or are all days...

When God created mothers, He knew the critical role they would play in the development and success of their children. Number five of the Ten Commandments, the first one that deals with human relationships says, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12. Mother’s Day is a great time to honor and thank moms. And it can al...

The Third of the Ten Commandments is:  “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” Exodus 20:7. This commandment is about so much more than “Don’t use God’s name as a curse word.” We have been given an awesome opportunity to have a personal relationship with the God of all creation and to experience His love – why would we...

The Second of the Ten Commandments is: “No Idols” and is found in Exodus 20:4-6. God has revealed in His Holy Word that He will not tolerate idols in our lives. While you may not be bowing before a shrine filled with figurines or images of false gods/idols, it is possible that something like sports, people’s approval, certain possessions, personal appearance or other things could be your idol. The...

The First of the Ten Commandments is, “You shall have no other gods before me" found in Exodus 20:3. There are so many benefits when you put God first in your life. He is the God who cares about you, shares with you and rewards you. It is easy to wander out of God's will and unwittingly chase after other counterfeit"gods" in your life and end up disappointed. Come to Rockwell C...

Just keeping the 10 Commandments isn’t enough to save you from your sins and make you right with God, only repentance and faith in Jesus can do that. But living these 10 will make you more successful in life and improve your relationships with other. Come to Rockwell Church at 10:15am this Sunday as Pastor Chris shares seven ways the Ten Commandments work for us even today. Our church service also...

Pastor Chris shared seven blessings “Because He Lives…” Rockwell is a church for all ages located on Highway 53 on the edge of Eveleth and Virginia near the new high school.  Rockwell Church April 9, 2023 Pastor Chris Teien Notes: “Seven Blessings Just Because He Lives (Heb 10:16-25)” #1 …we can be FORGIVEN of our sins because of Jesus sacrifice  (v.16-18) #2 …we are INVITED to boldly come into Go...

We pause to remember Jesus sacrifice as He purposefully suffered on the cross to pay for our sins. We will have communion and focus on Jesus own words recorded in John chapter 12. In verse 32 He says,  “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He lived a perfect life and then He traded His righteousness for our sinfulness so we could know Him and be with Him fore...

The crowd cheered as Jesus rode into Jerusalem fulfilling prophecy and giving people the hope they were watching for. It was the day Jesus was honored as a King. The people cried out, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Hosanna means “Save Us.” It was the day that Jesus showed his authority over the merchants abd money...

Whenever people get together, there is bound to be conflict. The Bible is full of characters with relationship problems. Biblical conflict resolution tools can help us honor Christ in our lives and help restore relationships with people in our lives. Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” While some people make it impossible to reconcile,...

We receive the Holy Spirit the moment we place our faith in Jesus and are saved. In the book of Ephesians we are taught that believers are sealed in Holy Spirit, a secure guarantee promising our future destiny with Christ, and a comforting guide to help us be successful serving the Lord now. Scripture shows us what to do and not do if we want to thrive in the Holy Spirit (and not grieve the Holy S...

Have you ever been so pleased with a service or product that you want to tell everyone about it that will listen? We know we are supposed to tell others about Jesus but sometimes we are afraid or don't know what to say. John wrote a letter to help us comprehend the benefits of our faith with assuring confidence (1 John 5). Listen to this audio from Rockwell Church to be encouraged to enthusia...

Faith in Jesus brings forgiveness of sin but not immediate perfection. The deeper we grow in our faith, the more we become aware of our shortcomings and desire to experience victory over sin. No matter how hard we try on our own, it is impossible to live an absolutley perfect life every day. In Romans chapter 6 we read what has been done and what we can do to live a new life in Christ. The excitin...

When we accept that we are like sheep and Jesus is the Good Shepherd who was willing to sacrifice His life to protect the flock we start to understand how much our loving Savior cares for us. In John 10:27–28 Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” Listen to this mess...

The Bible is one of the easiest books to acquire and there is at least one in almost every home. While it is easy for many to take God's Word for granted, it can totally transform your life when it's valued, understood and properly applied. 1 Peter 1:23 says, "For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from...

Listen and be encouraged with a message about God’s love that brings peace, develops character and transforms us with hope. We read these assuring words, “ But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 5:8. It’s worth celebrating how God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to rescue and save us and the Holy Spirit to fill us. Listen to Ro...

Through real-life stories, scriptural wisdom, and practical encouragement, this message helps liste...

God is the creator of life and the one who determines when it begins and ends. On this Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, Pastor Chris Teien addresses the value of life, the impact of abortion, and the challenges surrounding euthanasia. While abortion may seem like a solution to an unplanned pregnancy, it carries profound emotional and spiritual consequences, ending the life of a unique, pre-born huma...

Last Sunday we talked about planting seeds for a life of significance. This week we share 5 easy ways to wreck your life. There’s a lot more than five, but the five we are sharing are foundational and transformational. These are five things the Bible says you don’t want to skip doing or you will be very disappointed later in life. Come to Rockwell Church and be encouraged to live a WELL Life. Note...

Many gardeners like to look at seed catalogs in January to see what they can plant in the spring, enjoy during the summer and harvest in the fall. God designed our world with seasons, seedtime, harvest and getting more seeds for future planting. If we reap what we sow, what do we want to see grow in 2023? Come to Rockwell Church to be encouraged to plant for a life a significance.  Rockwell Church...

Luke 6:46-49, James 4:13-17 John the Baptist was a humble servant who said “I must decrease, and He (Jesus) must increase (John 3:30) and James reminded us that we don’t know what life will be like tomorrow (James 4:14-17) so we ought to be ready to flex and pivot to adjust to God’s plan for our lives. Come to Rockwell Church this New Years Day Sunday to be encouraged to pursue Rockwell Church Jan...
