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 encourages us to tell others about Jesus to experience the joy of working with the Lord, fulfill your God given purpose, and to see eternally significant results.Listen and be encouraged to prepare for a rewarding spiritual harvest.

Keys to Conquering Depression [Best Of] 35:16

منذ 17 يومًا35:16

35:16

Life deals us different cards, and sometimes those cards come with struggles like depression. How can we navigate these dark seasons while holding onto faith and hope? In this episode, Pastor Chris Teien shares biblical wisdom on overcoming depression, exploring practical steps, spiritual encouragement, and the importance of community support. Whether you or someone you love is struggling, this message offers compassionate guidance, scriptural truth, and real-life application to help you find strength in Christ. Key Points: Understanding Depression – Depression is not always a result of sin or a lack of faith. Even great men of God like Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, and the Apostle Paul experienced seasons of deep sorrow (2 Corinthians 1:8-9). The Many Faces of Depression – Depression can be situational (due to loss or hardship), hidden (masked behind busyness), neurotic (impacting daily life), or even psychotic (a severe mental health crisis requiring professional care). Scripture acknowledges these struggles (Psalm 102:3-7, Job 3:11). Physical and Emotional Contributors – Hormonal imbalances, chronic illness, lack of rest, genetic predisposition, and negative self-talk can all contribute to depression (Psalm 13:2, Proverbs 14:10). Addressing these areas with wisdom and practical steps can bring relief. Biblical Hope for the Weary Soul – The Bible reminds us that God is with us in our struggles. He calls us to lean on Him, renew our minds with His truth, and support one another in love (Isaiah 41:10, Philippians 4:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). Notable Quotes: "Depression doesn't mean you're failing spiritually—it means you're human." "Even in laughter, the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief." (Proverbs 14:13) "God can use our deepest struggles to shape us for greater ministry." Actionable Takeaways: Recognize the Reality – Depression is real, and acknowledging it is the first step to healing. Seek Help – It's okay to get counseling, take medication, and lean on supportive friends and family. Renew Your Mind – Replace negative self-talk with biblical truth (Psalm 103, Philippians 4:8). Be There for Others – Encourage those struggling with depression by listening, praying, and offering support without judgment. Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 – Paul’s despair and reliance on God. Isaiah 41:10 – God's promise to strengthen and uphold us. Philippians 4:8 – The call to renew our minds with truth. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – Choosing joy, prayer, and gratitude in all circumstances. Keywords: Depression, Faith and Mental Health, Christian Encouragement, Hope in Hard Times, Spiritual Growth, Biblical Counseling, Overcoming Anxiety, Trusting God in Dark Seasons, Renewing Your Mind, Helping Others with Depression. Closing Statement: This episode encourages listeners to trust in God's faithfulness even when life feels overwhelming. No matter what struggles you're facing, He sees you, loves you, and offers hope for your future. 🔗 Listen & Subscri Send us a text We'd love to hear from you! Try the Send us a Text link.

Waiting on God? This Prayer Testimony Will Encourage You! (79 Grand Prix Story) 7:28

منذ 21 يومًا7:28

7:28

In this short but powerful testimony, Pastor Chris shares a personal story of trusting God through prayer while facing financial pressure. Years ago, he and his wife had just one car, and when it came time to sell it, they prayed for God’s provision. Despite weeks of waiting with no response, they remained steadfast, standing on the promises of Scripture. Just when it seemed like nothing would happen, God answered their prayer—at the last possible moment. This story highlights the importance of praying in Jesus’ name with confidence, trusting God’s timing, and believing in His provision even when answers seem delayed. Full Audio Message: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285086/episodes/15836802 Key Themes & Scriptures: 1. Praying with Confidence in Jesus' Name John 14:13-14 – "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son." Matthew 7:7-8 – "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Mark 11:24 – "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." 2. Trusting God’s Timing, Even When It Seems Late 1 John 5:14-15 – "If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." Philippians 4:6-7 – "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." 1 John 3:21-22 – "If our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask." 3.

John 15:7 – "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." 4.

Just before the deadline, a buyer arrived unexpectedly, cash in hand, proving God’s provision. God often waits until the last moment so that His power is undeniable and His name is glorified.

Four Things Christian Love Always Does [Best Of] 32:33

منذ 24 يومًا32:33

32:33

Love is more than a feeling—it’s an action that reflects God’s heart. In this episode, Pastor Chris explores 1 Corinthians 13:7 and four things Christian love always does: Love protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. Learn how love works in everyday life, how it reflects God’s character, and how to love like Jesus—even when it’s hard. Originally shared 2/14/21 Key Points: Love Always Protects – True love guards and preserves others, shielding them from unnecessary shame while upholding truth (Proverbs 10:12, John 17:15). Love Always Trusts – Love gives the benefit of the doubt and believes the best in others without being naive (Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:14). Love Always Hopes – God’s love fuels optimism and confidence in His work in people’s lives (Romans 8:28, Luke 22:32). Love Always Perseveres – Love endures hardships and remains steadfast through challenges (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 13:7). Personal Stories from Pastor Chris: Trusting Others with Wisdom Late one night, I received a call from a man needing help with a broken-down van. I offered to pay for a hotel and connect him with a church, but he refused and hung up. Love requires discernment—it trusts but also seeks wisdom. Love Protects by Offering Guidance I encourage new believers to write their testimony before sharing to avoid regret. Love protects by helping others share their story while keeping the focus on God’s grace. Notable Quotes: "Love doesn’t just react—it protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres." "Love refuses to take failure as final because it believes in God’s power to redeem." "Real love doesn’t give up when things get tough—it stays, fights, and endures." Actionable Takeaways: Ask: Am I protecting others with my words or exposing them? Choose to trust first rather than assume the worst. Pray for hope in God's work in others. Commit to persevering in love, even when it’s hard. Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 13:7 – "It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Love in Action - Every Season of Life 35:52

How can we live out love in every season of life? Whether you are single, married, divorced, widowed, or somewhere in between, God has a purpose for you. In this episode, we explore Ecclesiastes 3 and the wisdom of embracing life’s changing seasons with faith and love. Discover how to trust God's timing, recognize the season you’re in, and show love in action through service, mentorship, and encouragement. *** You can listen to a past message on this Ecclesiastes passage at https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285086/episodes/16335523 Key Points: God's Perfect Timing in Every Season Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that everything has its appointed time. No matter the season—growth, transition, hardship, or joy—God is working through our circumstances for His purpose. Recognizing and Embracing Your Season Life unfolds in different seasons: spring (new beginnings), summer (fruitfulness), fall (transition), and winter (rest and reflection). Understanding where you are helps you navigate challenges with wisdom and faith. Showing Love Through Every Stage Love looks different in every season—mentoring the next generation, supporting family, encouraging friends, or being present for those in need. Love in action means embracing people where they are and pointing them to Christ. Notable Quotes: "If you are still breathing, God is not finished with you yet." "Seasons change, but God’s love remains the same. Every moment is an opportunity to love and serve." "The world keeps moving forward, but how we love in each moment can leave a lasting legacy." Actionable Takeaways: Embrace your current season with faith, trusting that God has a purpose for you in it. Look for ways to express love in action—through service, mentorship, or encouragement. Ask God to reveal how you can support others in their season of life. Be intentional about relationships. Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 – A time for everything under heaven Isaiah 43:19 – God is doing a new thing in every season Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trusting God’s direction in every stage 1 Thessalonians 5:11 – Encouraging and uplifting others Psalm 46:10 – Finding peace and stillness in God’s plan Keywords: Love in action, seasons of life, Ecclesiastes 3, Christian relationships, biblical wisdom, trusting God, mentorship, spiritual growth, faith in transition, embracing change This episode encourages you to trust God’s timing and live out love in action, no matter what season of life you’re in.

In John 9, the man who was healed from blindness boldly shared how Jesus changed his life, even in the face of opposition. If Jesus has transformed your life, you have a powerful story to tell, too. Whether it’s how you came to faith, who planted the seed, or how you’ve grown, your testimony can glorify God and encourage others. Take time to evaluate your transformation—look back, see how much you’ve changed, and share it courageously. Just like the healed man, let your story point others to Jesus. 🎧 Listen to "Freedom from Spiritual Blindness" for more on sharing your faith and celebrating your transformation: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2285086/episodes/15336542 Don’t keep the good news to yourself—tell someone today! #RockwellChurch218 #Testify #JesusChangesLives Send us a text We'd love to hear from you!

Love in Action When We Follow Jesus’ Lead 24:12

Love isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. Join us this Sunday at Rockwell Church as we begin our new series, Love in Action, with the message “Love in Action Flows from Jesus Through Us.” True love is more than emotions; it’s a daily decision to show kindness, patience, and forgiveness. As we explore 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, we’ll see that love isn’t perfect, but it grows, learns, and perseveres when it’s rooted in Christ. Without Him, our love falls short, but when we abide in Jesus, His love flows through us, changing how we love others.
