Rockwell Church Messages

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, you will be blessed when you do your part to try to bring healing and forgiveness. We will look at some of the tools available from Ken Sande and Peacemaker Ministries in print and online. They include the 4 G’s of Peacemaking, The Seven A’s of Confession, the Four Promises of Forgiveness and the PAUSE Principle of Negotiating. Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday to be encouraged to seek to live at peace with others and help others find peace in the midst of their conflicts. 

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 Spirit). Listen to this maeesage from Pastor Chris Teien at Rockwell Church to be encouraged to live yielded and empowered lives in the Spirit making a difference today and for eternity. 

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 enthusiastically share your new life in Jesus and support others like camps and missionaries that share our message so that more people can be reached.  How to Share your Faith in Jesus with Assuring Confidence 1 John 5 1. Confident we have BECOME children of God   (1 John 5:1–2) 2. Assured we will OVERCOME the world through Faith   (1 John 5:3–5, 18-19) 3. Confident in the TRUTH of our Beliefs   (1 John 5:6–10)  4. Assured we POSSESS Eternal Life in Jesus   (1 John 5:11–13) 5. Confident in our RELATIONSHIP with Jesus   (1 John 5:14-15, 20-21)

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 exciting process of becoming more like Jesus is called sanctification. Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday to be encouraged to see yourself dead to sin and alive to righteousness as you commit to follow God’s plans for your life. It’s communion Sunday https://rockwell.church How you can Experience Victory Over Sin  1. Victory because we are CALLED to live a New Life (Romans 6.1-4) 2. Victory since we are Set Free from the CHAINS of Sin and Death (Romans 6.5-10) 3. Victory when we CONSIDER ourselves Alive in Christ (Romans 6.11) 4. Victory when we give ourselves COMPLETELY to God and His work (Romans 6.12-13) 5. Victory when we CHOOSE to obey God and become Holy (Romans 6.14-19)

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 message from Pastor Chris Teien at Rockwell Church to be encouraged to trust the Shepherd who wants us to experience peace and a full life.

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 the eternal, living word of God." Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday to be encouraged to invest in and obey God's revealed will for your life.

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 Rockwell Church and be inspired to live in God’s incredible love.

This Sunday Pastor Chris is sharing an encouraging message about the importance of music in the Christ-followers life and Kelly from Life 97.3FM will be here sharing information about their Christian Radio Station (Rockwell Church is their church of the week). Throughout the Bible we see a variety of people worshiping through song and we are instructed to sing hymns and spiritual songs. Psalm 40:2b-3 says, "he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him." We will look at some of the different types on songs in the Bible and see how choosing to listen to Christian music can help transform our minds and encourage us to be more faithful. We meet at 10:15am Sundays at 93 Midway Drive in Virginia, MN. Kids and adult Sunday School at 9am.

Recently we’ve been hearing about Prince Harry’s controversial book “Spare” where he published how he feels about his imperfect royal family. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David are a few Bible characters that had dysfunctional families. It’s interesting to think that Jesus grew up in a family with younger brothers and sisters in an unusual family situation. Jesus can understand our struggles. Our family experience can make a positive or negative difference in our lives. No matter how old we are we can still be carrying pain and regret from our family experiences. Come to Rockwell Church to be encouraged to find help and healing from and/or for your imperfect family life. We meet at 10:15am Sundays at 93 Midway Drive in Virginia, MN. Kids and adult Sunday School at 9am.

God is the creator of life and also the one who decides when it ends. While abortion may seem like a convenient way to take care of an unplanned pregnancy it can have terrible, life long side effects and it ends the life of an innocent pre-born human being. On this Sanctity of Human Life Sunday we share Scripture, video clips and stories of those who considered or completed abortions. Our church shows grace and love to those who have made bad choices in the past. We hope to teach and encourage people to make the right choices in the future. Listen as we look at life, abortion and euthanasia. We meet at 10:15am Sundays at 93 Midway Drive in Virginia, MN. Kids and adult Sunday School at 9am. We hope you find this message encouraging.

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?

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.

Luke 2:13-15 and Psalm 91. The Bible reveals some interesting things about these messengers from the Heavenly realm that are God's agents to help us and accomplish God's will. It also warns us that satan masquerades as an angel of light, and makes it clear that when we die we don't become angels. Christmas season is a fun time to pause and ponder Angels. Maybe we have even crossed paths with angels. Hebrews 13:2 says, "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."

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 and seen, which were just as they had been told.” This week at Rockwell Church be encouraged that those of us who have placed our hope and trust in Jesus will be praising God for all eternity as we are experiencing all that we have been told and promised through Gods’ Word. Even though people in your life may not seem to want to hear the Good News from you, will you be faithful to share it?Support the showWe hope you find this message encouraging.

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 had to be faithful to trust God step by step, with a peace that surpasses understanding, even when their future was unclear. Watch or listen to be encouraged to trust God as He works out his plan in our lives and to experience peace that can only come from true faith in Jesus.Message NotesRockwell Church             Dec 4, 2022           Pastor Chris Teien“Experience & Share God’s Gift of Peace even when your future is Unclear”Matt 1:18-25#1 Joseph was QUALIFIED to be used by God.

We are starting 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 you to do the most significant and unheard of thing in all of human history. The people in this chapter of the Bible were used by God to help bring salvation and hope into the world.Support the showWe hope you find this message encouraging.

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.

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 eternity. Peace with God and others can make a huge difference now. Listen to be encouraged to pursue holiness and use your time wisely.  Support the showWe hope you find this message encouraging.

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.

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 God’s big purpose for his life.

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 times, I’m sure he wondered what God’s plan was and why He was allowing Joseph to suffer as a captive.

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 says God was with Joseph in the good times and the bad. Come to Rockwell Church this Sunday to be encouraged to be loyal and faithful even when things don’t go your way – you may be exactly where God needs you.

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 now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” Listen to this message from  Rockwell Church to be encouraged to pursue a daily lifestyle of worship as we look at some real practical ways that we can become more effective worshipers, the kind God seeks and rewards.  Pastor Chris Teien Support the showWe hope you find this message encouraging.

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 seeds are you planting in your life and what do you expect it to yield? If you don’t plant anything in the open areas of your life you can be sure some kind of weed will gladly take up that empty space. Listen to this Rockwell Church audio to be encouraged to plant seeds that lead to a delightful harvest.

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 you like to have that kind of experience?

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.

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 down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” This is a great season to worship the Lord and invite others to come to church.

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. As you know, they are to love God and love your neighbor – pretty simple right? But what does that really mean and what are some ways we can put that into practice? Listen and be encouraged to live out the Great Commandment and spend the rest of your days pursuing 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. While this famous verse is sometimes used out of context to declare that we can selfishly do whatever we want, it is still a powerful promise when we are in God’s divine plan that says “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (Phil 4:13 NLT). Life becomes a great adventure when we step out in faith knowing that we can’t in our own strength but through Christ we can do everything He desires. Listen and be encouraged to trust more and accomplish more through Christ.

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 characteristics of good friends. Listen and be encouraged be a friend that Jesus can use to encourage others in this great adventure of the Christian life.

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

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 yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Listen and be encouraged from Philippians 1:27-2:4 to honor Christ with the way you handle tough situations and people problems Pastor Chris Teien pastorchris@rockwell.churchSupport the showWe hope you find this message encouraging.

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 and be encouraged to see how God can help you grow closer to Him and be more effective in life when you commit yourself to following God’s plans for your life and use your time wisely when life gets stuck on pause.

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 churches. As we read Paul’s story we can see how God was working out his plan in the midst of Paul’s troubles and trials. Listen and be encouraged to follow and trust the Lord even when life gets difficult.

Christmas is more than a historical story, a cultural tradition, or just a church remembrance. Christmas is the time of year we celebrate Jesus, our Emmanuel, who came to earth to teach us how to live and through his sacrifice makes it possible for us to live with Him forever. While it can seem like the Christian life is a list of impossible to follow rules, it is actually a grace-filled relationship that leads to inner peace and an outward behavior change. Listen and be encouraged from Titus 2:11-14 that knowing Jesus and learning how to live righteously is one of the greatest gifts we can ever receive.

This Sunday our topic is about sleep, rest and recreation.  God who created us knows that we need to recharge by resting and enjoying life with a little recreation. Did you know that rest and sleep is a gift from God? “It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones”. Psalm 127:2 (NLT). When we are anxious we can suffer sleepless nights and when things aren’t going as we hope we can get restless. A Topical Bible “Sleep” Study reveals some very interesting things about sleep, rest and recreation and we are going to look at some of them this Sunday. Listen and be encouraged to enjoy a proper balance of work, sleep, rest and recreation in your life. This will be a fun and inspirational time to better understand God’s principles for living a Christ-honoring life.

In this life we are surrounded by a million opportunities to buy stuff but are often frustrated that we can’t have much of it because we don’t have the millions of dollars needed to get it. Some of us have too much stuff and some of us really do need more stuff. The stuff you choose to purchase, keep, give away and throw away can define the kind of life you live. I have met millionaires who appeared poor and poor people deep in debt trying to appear to be millionaires. The Bible has a lot to say about money and possessions, including Paul instructing Timothy, “Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth…. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:6,10.
