  • Guided Communion and Personal Prayer with Lamentations 3

    Guided Communion and Personal Prayer with Lamentations 3
    Sep 6 2026

    Usually, we receive communion together as a church family. This episode is a clip from a communion service at Rockwell Church that may encourage you to remember what Jesus has done, examine your heart, and spend time in personal prayer.

    Drawing from Lamentations 3 and 1 Corinthians 11, Pastor Chris Teien explains why we can wait on the Lord, place our hope in Him, examine our ways, and return to Him. The guided prayer includes time for confession, thanksgiving, trusting God with anxiety, restoring relationships, and considering whether our priorities are pleasing to Him.

    Communion reminds believers of the body and blood of Jesus Christ and proclaims His death until He comes again. Although the Lord’s Supper is ordinarily shared with other believers as the church gathers, this recording can help you prepare your heart for communion or guide your personal Scripture reading, reflection, and prayer. (Lamentations 3:24–25, 40–41; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)

  • Why Do We Work So Much? A Biblical Answer

    Why Do We Work So Much? A Biblical Answer
    Aug 30 2026
    Why do we work so much, and what should all our work ultimately accomplish? In this practical Bible message, Pastor Chris Teien shares four ways your work can make a meaningful difference: receive work as God’s gift, offer your best efforts to Christ, use your influence to serve others, and use your income to bless others. Whether you are employed, retired, studying, volunteering, leading others, or caring for your family, discover how your everyday work can honor God, help people, and accomplish purposes that matter for eternity. In This Message1. Receive Work as God’s Gift Work existed before sin entered the world. Although sin made labor more difficult, God originally gave Adam meaningful responsibility in the Garden of Eden. Every honest kind of work can contribute to the well-being of others, and we should recognize, enjoy, and celebrate the fruit of our labor. (Genesis 2:15; Proverbs 14:23; Ecclesiastes 3:12–13)2. Offer Your Best Work to Christ Faithful workers care about their employer’s interests and perform their responsibilities with honesty and excellence. Even when a supervisor fails to notice or reward good work, God sees what is being done. Christians should work willingly because Christ is ultimately the Master they are serving. (Proverbs 27:18; Colossians 3:23–24)3. Use Your Influence to ServeAuthority and influence should be used to help people rather than exploit them. Godly leaders recognize good work, correct without humiliating, take responsibility for their mistakes, protect vulnerable people, and help others reach their potential. Jesus demonstrated that true leadership is expressed through service. (Proverbs 29:2, 7; Mark 10:43–45)4. Use Your Income to Bless Others Income allows us to provide for our families, support the work of God, and care for people in need. Christian giving should be planned, generous, and cheerful, not motivated by pressure. Scripture does not promise that giving will make someone rich, but it teaches that God sees generosity and faithfully provides what His people need. (Proverbs 3:9; Proverbs 11:24–25; Proverbs 19:17; 1 Timothy 5:8; 1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 9:6–8)Main IdeaGod does not give us the ability to work and earn merely so we can accumulate more. He provides through our work so we can care for our families, support His church, and become a blessing to others.ScriptureGenesis 2:15; Proverbs 3:9; Proverbs 11:24–25; Proverbs 14:23; Proverbs 19:17; Proverbs 27:18; Proverbs 29:2, 7; Ecclesiastes 3:12–13; Ecclesiastes 4:8; Mark 10:43–45; 1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 9:6–8; Colossians 3:23–24; 1 Timothy 5:8; 2 Thessalonians 3:10.Illustrations• An old lumber mill illustrates the planning, workers, resources, and clear purpose required to produce something useful.• An Iowa farmer viewed farming and his relationships with workers, vendors, and landowners as his ministry.• A longtime Virginia choir director and football coach demonstrates the lasting influence of faithful work.• Walking through a cemetery prompted reflection on how people use their limited time and what they will be remembered for.• Building a deck provided the satisfaction of seeing and celebrating the tangible fruit of completed work.• Restaurant employees who know the food they serve illustrate how firsthand knowledge can make someone a better worker.• Temporary factory work and repetitive tasks illustrate the importance of working for Christ even when a job is monotonous.• A high-school decision to take easy classes illustrates the long-term value of avoiding shortcuts and continuing to learn.• Receiving an unexpected $70 settlement check after giving someone $60 illustrates God’s surprising provision.• Preparing dinner for his wife after she began working nights illustrates how unpaid work can serve and bless a family.Key Quotes“Work is a gift from God.”“Offer your best work to Christ.”“Even if they don’t see that I’m doing my absolute best, God sees.”“Use your work to serve others.”“It’s not that we have to give.

  • How to Be the Kind of Friend People Need

    How to Be the Kind of Friend People Need
    Aug 23 2026

    What kind of friend do the people in your life need you to be? A true friend does more than enjoy spending time together. Good friends tell the truth with love, listen before giving advice, remain faithful when life becomes difficult, and encourage one another to grow.

    Proverbs 27 gives us practical wisdom for becoming the kind of friend people can truly count on. Pastor Chris Teien explains why true friends speak honestly with love, offer wise counsel, remain faithful during difficult seasons, and help one another grow.

    This practical Bible message will challenge you to stop thinking only about the kind of friends you want and start asking, “What kind of friend am I?” You will also discover why Jesus is the greatest friend of all, laying down His life so sinners can be forgiven and made right with God.

    In this Message:

    1. A Friend Who Tells the Truth

    A sincere friend cares enough to speak honestly, even when the truth is difficult to hear. Biblical correction should be offered gently, humbly, and lovingly, with the goal of restoration and growth. (Proverbs 27:5–6; Proverbs 12:15; Ephesians 4:15; Galatians 6:1)

    2. A Friend Who Gives Wise Counsel

    A wise friend listens before speaking, considers the facts, admits when they do not know the answer, prays with you, and points you toward biblical truth. (Proverbs 27:9; Proverbs 15:22; Proverbs 18:13; Job 2:11–13)

    3. A Friend Who Remains Faithful

    A loyal friend does not disappear when trouble comes. Faithful friends remain present through crisis, grief, disappointment, and need. (Proverbs 27:10; Proverbs 17:17)

    4. A Friend Who Helps You Grow

    Godly friends sharpen, encourage, and motivate one another toward greater wisdom, love, good works, and faithfulness to Christ. (Proverbs 13:20; Proverbs 27:17; Hebrews 10:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:11)

    Jesus said there is no greater love than laying down one’s life for one’s friends. He demonstrated that love by dying for us while we were still sinners. (John 15:12–13; Romans 5:8)
