Enjoy the WELL Life in Christ - Pastor Chris Teien

Listen and be encouraged to pursue the Father’s will as you pray expectantly and pray more effectively being guided by the Lords prayer “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:9-10.  Pastor Chris Teien

When Jesus instructed his disciples how to pray, He revealed three amazing things about prayer: 1) God is not everyone’s Heavenly Father 2) God knows but you still need to ask and 3) You can address your prayers to the God of the Universe with "Our Father."  "... your Father knows what you need before you ask him.  "This, then, is how you should pray:"'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name"...Matthew 6:8-9. Powerful prayers are based on true faith in the Lord who cares about us and wants to provide our every need. Listen and be encouraged to grow in your faith and go deeper in prayer. Pastor Chris Teien

In Matthew 6:6 Jesus says, “When you Pray” and then he give some guidelines and promises to get us started. We will look at the importance of conversing with God through true prayer and not just vainly repeating memorized prayers and see how prayer helps fulfill God’s purpose in our lives when we pray properly. Listen and be encouraged to invest in prayer and enjoy the power and provision it brings. Pastor Chris Teien

The hymn “Great is thy Faithfulness” has an encouraging line that says we have “Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow” and the greatest hope a Christian has is living for all eternity with Jesus and  we are going to look at what the Bible promises us about our eternal hope. If we are confident in our future we will make the right choices today. If we know there are better days ahead we will have the hope we need to get us through the difficulties we are experiencing now. Christ-followers should have peace and confident assurance that their future is secure in Jesus. Listen and hear how you can enjoy the hope you have in eternity right now. Pastor Chris Teien

When God created us He provided the opportunity to work as a gift. Sometimes school or our jobs seem more like punishment than a place to make a difference in the world but God sees our heart attitudes and the actual work we accomplish and He will reward us for a job well done. The Bible even says we are to work as if we are working for the Lord – even when the boss or teacher can’t see us. Work and school is a great place to show and share your hope in Christ. Listen and be encouraged to work and study well while you look for opportunities to bring hope to the people around you. Pastor Chris Teien

In today’s world we are finding more and more that people have acquaintances and not close friends. If you long to be connected to others, in caring relationships, with those who will support you in your trials and to become the person Jesus wants you to be, listen and learn how you can find hope in Christian community.

The Bible is full of wisdom to help us endure complicated relationships. In Colossians chapters 3 and 4 we are given proactive instructions on how to live wisely among friends, family, coworkers and others we interact with every day. Listen and be encouraged to honor God by the way you treat others, understand the four pillars of relationships and see how you can give hope to hurting people around you. Pastor Chris Teien

In the book of Acts we see the Apostles thrown into jail for preaching the Gospel. Then an angel comes and opens the prison doors telling the Apostles to get back out there and keep telling everyone about this New Life in Christ. With Bold faith you may suffer opposition, but you can have confidence that Christ can open doors and even do miracles in your life. Listen and be encouraged that Christ can open doors and give you more resources than you realize to accomplish all He has called you to do. Pastor Chris Teien
