Rockwell Church Messages

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 the same? What should we do and no...

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 also be a tough holiday for those tha...

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 want to carelessly disrespect Hi...

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 posessions, personal appearance or other things could be your idol. The problem with idols is they distance...

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 Church at 10:15am this Sunday as Pas...

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 live streams online at https://roc...

Pastor Chris shared seven wonderful things that are available to us “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: “Because He Lives…” Hebrews 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 God’s presence by the...

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 forever. Come be encouraged to worship ...

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 changers in the temple. It was the ...

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 you...

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 fro...

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 an...

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 Jes...

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 Rock...

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 Rockwel...

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 liv...

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 ...

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 ha...
