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, 2024     Pastor Chris TeienHow to Worship in Spirit & TruthJohn 4:23-24The Father is Seeking Worshipers that:#1 Worship in SPIRIT (Acts 1:8, Rom 8:9; Eph 1:13-14, 5:15-20)#2 Worship in TRUTH (Acts 4:12, Jn 14:6, Rom 12:1-2)#3 Worship WHEREVER they are (Deut 12:5-7, 1 Cor 6:19-20)#4 Worship with ACTIONS (Prov 3:5-6, James 4:8, Heb 10:22)#5 Worship attracts OTHERS (Matt 5:16, John 13:15; Ps 34:3, 1 Pet 3:15)An additional resource for this message series is the small book “Tell Someone – You Can Share the Good News” by Greg Laurie. Also available as an e-book or audio book.  Support the Show.Thanks for listening.

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 the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” Come to Rockwell Church and be reminded and encouraged how to find a new sense of freedom in Christ and gain confidence to help share that good news with others with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.Rockwell Church     April 14th, 2024     Pastor Chris TeienHow to Experience Freedom in Jesus  John 3:16-36#1 Free to EXPERIENCE Perfect Love (John 3:16-19)    “Pisteuo” kind of Belief#2 Free to BECOME an example by living right (John 3:20-26)#3 Free to RECEIVE what is Good and Perfect from God (John 3:27-28)#4 Free to ENJOY Jesus Success (John 3:29-30)#5 Free to KNOW Eternal Truths (John 3:31-36)An additional resource for this message series is the small book “Tell Someone – You Can Share the Good News” by Greg Laurie. Also available as an e-book or audio book.  Support the Show.Thanks for listening.

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 forgiven and saved from the penalty of sin. Come to be reminded and encouraged how to be secure in Christ and gain confidence to help share that good news with others.Rockwell Church     April 7th, 2024     Pastor Chris TeienHow to be Secure in Christ#1 Believe Jesus Shared TRUTH (John 3:1-4)    How did you start to discover and believe in the truth Jesus shared?#2 Become BORN AGAIN  (John 3:5-11)    Who can you pray for to believe and become secure in Christ? #3 Believe on JESUS for Eternal Life  (John 3:12-20)    What do you think eternity with Jesus will be like?  Support the Show.Thanks for listening.

It is interesting and inspiring to think about Jesus’ and the people’s expectations, hesitations, invitations, and declarations during that week.

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     March 10, 2024     Pastor Chris TeienTrusting in Jesus' Perfect TimingJohn 71.  Jesus WORKS in Perfect Timing (Gal 4:4, Rom 5:6, 1 Tim 6:15; Heb 4:14-16)2.

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.

Work is a gift from God and it seems everybody is busy working on something. The average person will work at their job for 90,000 hours during their lifetime and have 12 different jobs over those years. Many people who retire from their careers fill their schedules with work they want to do and volunteer many hours to help others. God can use your job as a source of blessing for you and can use you at your work to be a blessing to others. Rockwell Church     Feb 11, 2024     Pastor Chris Teien“How God can Bless you through your Work” From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.
