What does authentic faith look like in everyday life? In this ten-week series, Pastor Chris Teien explores key passages from James and uncovers practical principles for following Jesus with integrity, perseverance, and wholehearted devotion. Each message addresses a major challenge believers face and shows how genuine faith shapes our choices, relationships, priorities, and response to God.

Life brings seasons of waiting, suffering, sickness, and celebration. James reminds us to remain patient, pray faithfully, praise God gratefully, and care for one another. Discover how authentic faith helps us trust God’s goodness in every season of life.

The Christmas We Long For (Series)
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.
