Enjoy the WELL Life in Christ - Pastor Chris Teien

We speak boldly about what we believe deeply and we receive Power and Authority when we are walking with Jesus. We are led by the Lord and empowered by the Holy Spirit to encourage and correct ourselves and others. We are motivated to lead people toward Christ and pray for opportunities to make an eternal difference. Listen and be encouraged to have bold speech for your good and God’s glory. Pastor Chris Teien

How can you become more bold to fulfill God’s purpose for your life? Listen and be encouraged to become empowered in your faith and the way you pray so that others around you will be forever blessed by your boldness for Christ. Pastor Chris Teien

The Gospel is Good News and The Good News is the Gospel! All that Jesus has done for us should make us bold and the Holy Spirit Empowers us and Equips us to be effective. In the book Acts Peter and John proclaim Jesus and many get saved, then they heal a crippled beggar and even their enemies are amazed at their boldness. Listen and be encouraged to live Bold lives. Pastor Chris Teien

In the parable of the ”Good Samaritan” we see a picture of what Jesus considers fulfilling the second of the two greatest commandments – Loving our Neighbors as ourselves. Listen as we open this passage and learn how we can become, like the good Samaritan. Be encouraged and grasp how we can become love, and love in a becoming manner. Pastor Dan Jetto

This summer we are going through the book of Colossians and this week we start the section on relationships. This is going to be a great Sunday for parents and grandparents! We all need to be supportive of marriage, parenting and kids and do all we can to help them all succeed. Come to River Rock Church this Sunday to be encouraged in your faith and to get equipped with resources to enable you to help the Christian family.  Pastor Chris Teien

Most of us want to serve the Lord and have our lives count, making a difference now and enjoying the rewards for all eternity. A lot of times we just can’t figure out what to do but this Sunday we will see some very practical ways we can honor the Lord, grow in our faith, enjoy life more and serve others from Colossians chapter 3:15-17. Be encouraged to live your life well and gain some helpful resources.  Pastor Chris Teien

In Colossians 3 we are told that God has chosen us to be the holy people He loves and then shows us how we can live a life that honors Him, helps others and leads to peace. Come be encouraged to live the life Jesus made possible through His sacrifice to remove our sin and through the sanctifying and empowering of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Chris Teien

For Christ-followers this life is temporary and Heaven is our eternal reward. We are told to “Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:2-3 NLT). Yet that doesn’t mean we check out of this life today and coast along to the end. There is an old saying, “He/she was So Heavenly Minded that he/she was No Earthly Good.” When you fully comprehend the realities of Heaven that are reserved for those people who come to Jesus, it motivates you to want to bring as many people as you can to Heaven with you and gives hope to anchor you during the storms of life.  Pastor Chris Teien

Discover why the Apostle Paul, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, warned us against following a list of rules to try to be right with God. Some people find it more appealing to try to follow a strict list of rules or the LAW to attempt to show they are deeply religious. Other people say that since Christ paid for the sins on the cross of those who would believe on Him we have LICENSE to do whatever they want. But better than LAW or LICENSE is to commit to following the Lord and trying to do what HE desires out of LOVE. This will be a great Sunday to be encouraged to enjoy the grace and freedom Jesus provides for us and to follow His plan for a life that brings eternal significance and enjoyment.  Pastor Chris Teien

We need to take the materials God gives us and use them to build up Wisdom, Knowledge and Strong Faith. Listen and be encouraged from the Bible book of Colossians 2:1-7 to grow in your faith and help others grow in their faith. We need to be building Strong Faith with an Attitude of Love and Encouragement and a Confident Skill level. We have support Available through Christ’s Wisdom and Knowledge and need to be committed to Do what’s Right and Follow Instructions. If we build on a Secure Foundation our reward will be Lives Built on Christ Overflowing with Thankfulness. Pastor Chris Teien
