November 29 – December 27, 2026 | Rockwell Church
Christmas is a season filled with expectations, traditions, and hopes for something wonderful. Yet beneath the celebrations, many of us long for something more: hope when life is uncertain, peace when we’re troubled, stronger relationships, and a life that truly matters.
This Christmas, join Pastor Chris Teien at Rockwell Church for The Christmas We Long For, a six-message journey through the Gospel of Luke. Discover how God’s promises, extraordinary angelic announcements, and the birth of Jesus Christ reveal His faithfulness and offer the hope, forgiveness, and new life we need.
Each week, we’ll explore how the Christmas story speaks to our everyday lives and why Jesus is more than someone to celebrate at Christmas. He is the Savior who came to rescue us, restore our relationship with God, and give us a reason to live with purpose.
Coming Up:
11/29 “When God Fulfills His Promises”

What does the Bible reveal about angels and their extraordinary role in God’s plans? Discover how Gabriel’s announcement to Mary reveals the unseen work of God, the miraculous coming of Jesus, and why His promises give us courage to trust Him when life seems impossible.
