Well Faith with Chris Teien

Here comes another change of seasons, as we will soon shift from summer to fall. God created the world and us with a divine design for work and time. The Bible gives us a strategy to spend our time wisely and compels us to get the most important things done. Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday and be encouraged that the way you work (at your job site, school, or as a volunteer) really does matter...

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...

 We are privileged to have God’s revealed Word readily available in print, video, audio and online. There is so much to learn, discover and share with others. “Learning” is one of the purposes of our church.

Jesus was asked to summarize all that God desires from us and He said it’s to love God and love others. Many people are confused about what love really is and what God truly want us to be and do.

Faith Worships Encourages Learns & L...

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 w...

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 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.
