Well Faith with Chris Teien

In John 10 we read about the people in the Temple pressing Jesus to tell them if he is the Messiah. Jesus replies that he has already told them and then lists the evidence that should help them in their struggle to believe. Currently, there is a trend to “deconstruct faith” that often leads confused people to walk away from their religious beliefs. Like a bowling ball striking down all the bowling...

In John 8 we read how Jesus showed grace and disarmed hypocrites for a woman caught in a shameful sin. Our evil adversary tempts us to give into sin, tries to push us away from abiding in Christ by his accusations, and tries to paralyze our Christian walk and works through our deep regret. This story is amazing and encouraging, but Bible scholars reveal that it might not be part of the original Go...

Jesus healed a blind man on the Sabbath and instead of celebrating that man’s healing, the Pharisees got angry at Jesus because He broke their Sabbath regulations and they also threw the formerly blind man out of the synagogue. Jesus used this opportunity to share how He can heal people from spiritual blindness. Listen and be encouraged to have spiritual sight to see what God has for you and insig...

In John 4 Jesus told the Samaritan woman about the Living Water he had for her thirsty soul and then again in John 7 Jesus told the Jews at the end of their festival that he was their connection to Living Water that would quench their spiritual thirst. “On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever be...

The Christian life is full of challenges. Some people may try to lead you away from God’s will for your life or influence you to quit. Jesus teachings or His timing may be hard to understand. And the storms of life can paralyze us with fear. Listen and  be encouraged from John chapter 6 to find courage to keep following Jesus even when life is challenging.

In John 6 the large crowd of people who spent the day seeing and hearing Jesus become hungry. Jesus asked his disciples how they could feed such a large crowd, and while it seemed overwhelming to them, the text says Jesus already knew what he was going to do. Then we read how Jesus miraculously provided lunch for thousands. Further in the passage Jesus explains how He is the Bread of Life. "Then J...

In John Chapter 5 Jesus reveals that He will judge all people based on their true faith in Him or lack of it, He shares about the ways His message has been confirmed, and explains a few reasons why some fail to come into a saving relationship with Him. Come to Rockwell Church to be encouraged that sharing your faith with compassion and conviction can help change people’s lives.  John 5:19-46 1. Fu...

This Memorial Day weekend we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Jesus endured the cross to pay for our sin and offers forgiveness and eternal life to those who honor Him as Lord and live with His integrity. Jesus says, “the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the S...

As we continue in the “Tell Someone” message series about sharing your faith with others, we realize that some people have a hard time moving beyond sharing their personal experiences to sharing the greatest news ever of the Gospel. Simply put, the news can be summarized: “Jesus is Greater!” Jesus is greater than our religious works, greater than our earthly knowledge, greater than our status/race...

We are currently in the "Tell Someone" message series about sharing your faith with others. This week we are going to look at John 4 and see how the Samaritan woman ran to get all her friends and neighbors to come see Jesus down by the water well. She told them her story of meeting this amazing man and John 4:39 says, "Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said,...

The Bible says Moses was a man of God mighty in word and deeds (Acts 7:22). Joshua was his assistant for almost 40 years and eventually took over for Moses. It is noteworthy that God repeatedly tells Joshua not to be afraid but commands him to be strong and courageous (Joshua chapter 1). Come to Rockwell Church to be encouraged to find strength and courage as you move into the new seasons and oppo...

As Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman the disciples were off getting supplies. When the disciples arrived, Jesus shared that his food was to do the Fathers will and in John 4:36 we read that Jesus stated, “The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!” This section of Scripture encou...

Jesus went out of His way to talk to the Samaritan woman (See John 4) and shared with her that the Father is seeking worshipers who worship Him in spirit and truth. Is that the way you relate to our Heavenly Father and teach others to worship Him? Be encouraged to become more effective in worshiping and helping develop new worshipers the way God desires.  NOTES:  Rockwell Church     April 21st, 20...

John 3:16-36. New Life in Christ should lead to freedom from sin, guilt, and condemnation. True conversion should give us a heartfelt desire to live to please our Loving Savior. We will continue to look at John chapter 3 and see how we can become free to live for Jesus. Even our former Hibbing neighbor Bob Dylan realized that “You’re gonna have to serve somebody, it may be the Devil or it may be t...

Every Christ-follower should be able to answer the question, “How do you know that you are truly saved?” Answering that you said a prayer or walked down the aisle at religious service is not a sufficient answer. In John chapter 3, one of the most loved chapters of the Bible, we read of God’s incredible love and the gift of Jesus who made it possible for those who place their faith in Him to be for...

Celebrate Jesus completing His mission to conquer sin and death, lighting the way for believers to obtain eternal life. Our Savior revealed His plans, showed how much He cares, and shared that future believers would be blessed as we applied and shared the Gospel.  NOTES:  Rockwell Church     March 31, 2024     Pastor Chris Teien "Jesus Lights the Way to Eternal Life" 1.

This short message tells the story of what Pastor Chris Teien's dad gave up to get custody of him and what Jesus gave up to pay for our salvation.

In John 12 we read about Jesus following the divine plan and riding into the city to give Himself over to those who would crucify Him. It is interesting and inspiring to think about Jesus’ and the people’s expectations, hesitations, invitations, and declarations during that week. Come to Rockwell Church to be encouraged to appreciate all that our loving Savior did to rescue us from sin and secure...

The Gospel of John shows how Jesus was keenly aware of the time. In John 7 we read of Jesus waiting for the perfect moment to act or speak as he worked out his plans. We also see Jesus’ perfect timing in a number of the signs and miracles he chose to do. Many of us have experienced Jesus’ perfect timing in answering our prayers in amazing and sometimes “miraculous” ways. NOTES: Rockwell Church   ...

The Gospels repeatedly show that there are steps you must take if you want Jesus to answer prayer and even do something “miraculous” for you. We are currently in a three-part series looking at Jesus and miracles from the book of John. Come to Rockwell Church 10:15am this Sunday as we look at this amazing topic of Jesus, obedient faith and miracles. NOTES: Rockwell Church     March 3, 2024     Past...

The Bible says a lot about miracles. Jesus’ first recorded miracle was to turn the water into wine. There is no guarantee that Jesus will rescue you or the person you care about with a miracle, but it is possible that He may choose to. Jesus answers prayer and still does miracles according to His sovereign and perfect will. NOTES: Rockwell Church     Feb 25, 2024     Pastor Chris Teien “When You N...

You may not realize it, but you are influencing people with your words, attitudes and actions. Hopefully you are being a blessing by drawing people to Jesus instead of pushing them away.
