The Christian life is not lived faithfully by accident. In this message from Hebrews 12:1, Pastor Chris Teien explains how believers can pursue victory by learning from faithful examples, removing spiritual hindrances, and running the race God has marked out with endurance.

Just as athletes train with purpose, followers of Jesus are called to live intentionally. As we focus on God’s priorities, let go of whatever hinders our walk with Christ, and faithfully persevere, we can live in a way that honors Him and finish well.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 LEARN FROM THOSE WHO FINISHED WELL

Scripture is filled with faithful men and women who persevered through trials and trusted God to the end. Their stories were preserved to teach and encourage us so that we can continue running our own race with confidence. (Hebrews 11; Hebrews 12:1; Romans 15:4)

#2 REMOVE WHATEVER HOLDS YOU BACK

Just as athletes remove unnecessary weight before a race, believers should identify and set aside anything hindering spiritual growth. Whether it is sin, distraction, bitterness, or misplaced priorities, God calls us to confess what is wrong and pursue Him wholeheartedly. (Hebrews 12:1; Colossians 3:2; Ephesians 4:31-32; 1 John 1:9)

#3 RUN YOUR GOD-GIVEN RACE WITH PERSEVERANCE

Every believer has work God has prepared for them to do. Rather than comparing ourselves with others, we are called to pursue our course faithfully, refuse to give up, and continue serving Christ until the finish line. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 12:1)

Choose to pursue the prize that lasts forever. Learn from faithful believers who have gone before you, remove whatever slows your spiritual growth, and run the race God has prepared for you with endurance.

Every new year brings new goals and fresh opportunities, but the greatest success comes from aligning our lives with God’s priorities. In this message from 1 Peter 4, Pastor Chris Teien explains how believers can develop Christlike attitudes, pursue God’s will, and use their gifts faithfully to make an eternal impact.

God has called us to more than self-improvement. He has called us to live for His glory. As we endure hardship, turn from sinful living, keep eternity in view, love others deeply, and serve with the gifts He has given us, our lives can make a lasting difference.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 DEVELOP AN ATTITUDE THAT ENDURES

Following Christ is not always easy. Like Jesus, believers are called to remain faithful through hardship, entrust themselves to God, and refuse to allow suffering to turn them away from obedience. (1 Peter 2:23; 1 Peter 4:1)

#2 CHOOSE GOD’S WILL OVER WORLDLY DESIRES

A transformed life leaves behind sinful patterns and pursues obedience to God’s Word. Through God’s grace and the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can resist sin and live in a way that honors Jesus Christ. (Romans 6:11-14; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Peter 4:2-6)

#3 LIVE WITH ETERNITY IN MIND

Because history is moving toward God’s appointed conclusion and Christ will return, believers are called to remain spiritually alert, devote themselves to prayer, and use their limited time wisely. (Psalm 90:12; 1 Peter 4:7)

#4 LOVE OTHERS DEEPLY

Biblical love extends grace, strengthens relationships, and practices hospitality without complaining. Jesus said that the way Christians love one another should identify them as His disciples. (John 13:35; 1 Peter 4:8-9)

#5 USE YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS FOR GOD’S GLORY

Every believer has received gifts from God to serve others. As we faithfully use those gifts through the strength He provides, the church is strengthened, people are helped, and God receives the glory. (Ephesians 4:11-13; 1 Peter 4:10-11)

Build your life around God’s priorities rather than your own. Endure faithfully, pursue holiness, live with eternity in mind, love people well, and use your God-given gifts to make an eternal difference.

Real joy is not found in comfort, possessions, or success. It is found in Jesus Christ. In this message from Matthew 2, Pastor Chris Teien examines the example of the wise men and explains how following Christ with faith, courage, obedience, and wholehearted worship leads to lasting joy.

The Magi left behind comfort and certainty to seek the Savior. Their journey reminds us that true joy is rooted in God’s presence, promises, and purposes. As we take steps of faith, refuse to let fear or comfort control us, follow God’s direction, and offer Him our best, we experience the joy only Christ can give.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD JESUS

The wise men responded to the light God had given them and began a journey of faith. God often reveals His will one step at a time, calling us to trust and obey Him before we know every detail of the path ahead. (Isaiah 55:6; Matthew 2:1-2; James 4:8)

#2 DO NOT LET FEAR OR COMFORT KEEP YOU FROM CHRIST

King Herod resisted Jesus because he feared losing power, while the religious leaders knew the prophecies but did not join the search. In contrast, the Magi pursued Christ despite uncertainty, distance, and inconvenience. (Matthew 2:3-8; Matthew 16:24)

#3 FOLLOW THE LIGHT GOD GIVES YOU

As the Magi continued their journey, God faithfully directed their path. Believers experience God’s guidance as they follow His Word and obey what He has already revealed. (Psalm 119:105; Matthew 2:9-10; James 1:22)

#4 OFFER JESUS YOUR BEST

The wise men responded with worship and generous gifts because they recognized Jesus as King. Genuine worship places Christ first and gladly offers Him our time, abilities, resources, and devotion. (Matthew 2:11-12; Romans 12:1)

Joy is worth pursuing because Jesus is worth following. Take your next step of faith, trust God’s leading, and give Christ your very best as you discover the lasting joy found in Him.

Fear has a way of stealing our peace, but the good news of Jesus gives us lasting hope and joy. In this message from Luke 2, Pastor Chris Teien explores the Christmas story and explains how God’s presence, promises, and salvation enable us to trust Him through uncertainty.

The birth of Jesus reminds us that God is at work even when life does not unfold as expected. As we trust Him through difficult circumstances, confront our fears, receive the good news of Christ, and share His message with others, fear can give way to the joy found in Jesus.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 REMEMBER THAT GOD WORKS THROUGH DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES

Joseph and Mary experienced inconvenience, uncertainty, and hardship, yet God was accomplishing His plan. Even when life does not unfold as we expect, God is still at work for the good of His people and His glory. (Luke 2:1-7; Romans 8:28)

#2 RECOGNIZE WHERE FEAR APPEARS IN YOUR LIFE

The shepherds were terrified when the angel appeared. Fear can also keep us from trusting God, sharing our faith, or taking the next step of obedience. God invites us to bring our fears honestly to Him and trust His promises. (Psalm 34:4; Luke 2:8-9)

#3 RECEIVE GOD’S PEACE AND GOOD NEWS

The angel’s message was one of salvation and great joy for all people. Through Jesus Christ, God offers forgiveness, peace, and eternal life to everyone who believes in Him. (Luke 2:10-12; John 3:16-18)

#4 REJOICE IN GOD’S PROMISE OF PEACE AND FAVOR

The heavenly host glorified God and announced peace through the coming Messiah. Lasting peace is not found in trouble-free circumstances but in a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ. (Luke 2:13-14; Romans 5:1)

#5 RESPOND TO GOD’S LEADING WITH OBEDIENT FAITH

The shepherds acted immediately on what God had revealed to them. Joy grows as we receive God’s Word and take faithful steps of trust and obedience. (Luke 2:15-16; James 1:22)

#6 SHARE WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE

After meeting Jesus, the shepherds told others what they had seen and heard. Every believer has the privilege of sharing the hope of Christ and encouraging others through their testimony. (Luke 2:17-20; Acts 1:8)

Do not allow fear to keep you from experiencing the joy God offers through Jesus Christ. Trust His promises, obey His leading, and share the good news that brings hope to the world.

God never intended us to follow Him alone. In this message from Luke 1, Pastor Chris Teien explores the relationship between Mary and Elizabeth and explains how God uses other believers to strengthen our faith, encourage us during difficult seasons, and prepare us for His purposes.

Throughout Scripture, God brings people together at the right time. As we receive encouragement from faithful believers, depend on the Holy Spirit, remember God’s promises, worship Him for His grace, and invest in others, we experience the joy of walking together in Christ.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 GOD OFTEN SENDS ENCOURAGEMENT AT THE RIGHT TIME

Mary’s visit to Elizabeth was not an accident. God brought two faithful women together during an extraordinary and uncertain season so they could encourage one another and embrace His plan with confidence. (Luke 1:36; Luke 1:39-45)

#2 THE HOLY SPIRIT STRENGTHENS AND ENCOURAGES BELIEVERS

Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke words of truth and encouragement to Mary. The Holy Spirit also works through believers today, helping us speak words that strengthen, comfort, and build up others. (Luke 1:41-45; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 5:18)

#3 REMEMBER GOD’S FAITHFULNESS IN EVERY SEASON

Elizabeth affirmed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to Mary. Remembering God’s faithfulness gives us confidence to trust Him with present uncertainty and whatever lies ahead. (Luke 1:45; Romans 15:13)

#4 WORSHIP GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND HIS PLAN

Mary responded to God’s goodness with joyful praise and humble worship. Gratitude grows as we recognize God’s grace, remember what He has done, and trust His purposes for our lives. (Luke 1:46-55; Psalm 103:1-5)

#5 BECOME AN ENCOURAGER IN SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE

Just as Elizabeth strengthened Mary, God calls believers to encourage, disciple, and help others follow Christ. We may never fully know how God uses our words, prayers, presence, and example to prepare someone for His purposes. (Ephesians 4:29; Hebrews 10:24-25)

Ask God to use you as an encourager. Be available to strengthen someone’s faith, point them toward Jesus, and help them follow God faithfully.

Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of the Christian life, especially when our prayers seem unanswered. In this message from Luke 1, Pastor Chris Teien examines the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth and explains how God remains faithful during seasons of silence, disappointment, and waiting.

God’s timing is purposeful even when we do not understand it. As we continue serving Him, bring Him our prayers, trust His wisdom, and remain confident in His promises, we discover that lasting joy is found not in immediately receiving what we want but in knowing the God who remains faithful.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 REMAIN FAITHFUL WHILE YOU WAIT

Zechariah and Elizabeth continued serving God with faithful obedience even though they carried the pain of unanswered prayer. Their example reminds us to keep trusting and obeying God even when He seems silent. (Luke 1:5-7; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

#2 TRUST THAT GOD HEARS EVERY PRAYER

God had not forgotten Zechariah and Elizabeth. At the appointed time, He answered a prayer Zechariah no longer seemed to expect. God hears His people, but He answers according to His wisdom, purposes, and timing rather than ours. (Psalm 27:14; Luke 1:8-20)

#3 BELIEVE THAT GOD IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES

God arranged every detail at the right moment. Even when we cannot see what He is doing, He may be preparing people, circumstances, and opportunities to accomplish His purposes. (Malachi 4:5-6; Luke 1:8-17; Romans 8:28)

#4 EXPECT GOD TO WORK IN UNEXPECTED WAYS

The birth of John the Baptist reminds us that God can accomplish extraordinary things through unlikely people and unexpected circumstances. Nothing is impossible with Him, and His answers may look different from what we imagined. (Luke 1:18-25; Luke 1:37)

Do not lose heart while you wait. Continue serving God faithfully, bring Him your prayers, trust His timing, and remember that He is at work even when you cannot yet see what He is doing.

True thanksgiving begins long before we count our blessings. It begins by recognizing that God has shown us mercy and welcomed us into His family through Jesus Christ.

In this message from 1 Peter, Pastor Chris Teien explains how understanding our identity in Christ produces gratitude, worship, faithful service, and a desire to tell others about God’s grace. Thankfulness is more than a holiday tradition or a response to favorable circumstances. It is the daily overflow of a heart that remembers what God has done.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 BE THANKFUL THAT GOD CHOSE YOU

Our salvation rests on God’s grace rather than our own efforts or merit. According to His foreknowledge and through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, God calls believers to belong to Jesus Christ and live in obedience to Him. (John 15:16; Ephesians 1:4-5; 1 Peter 1:1-2)

#2 BE THANKFUL THAT YOU BELONG TO GOD’S FAMILY

Believers are not meant to follow Christ alone. God has made us His people, united us in His church, and called us to encourage, serve, and strengthen one another. Once we were separated from God, but through His mercy we now belong to Him. (Romans 12:5; Ephesians 2:19; 1 Peter 2:9-10)

#3 BE THANKFUL THAT GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

God has called every believer to declare His praises and serve Him faithfully. He provides gifts, opportunities, relationships, and good works through which we can glorify Christ and make an eternal difference. (Ephesians 2:10; 1 Peter 2:9, 21)

#4 EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE THROUGH WORSHIP AND OBEDIENCE

A thankful heart is demonstrated through more than words. Gratitude is expressed through worship, prayer, obedience, service, and a life that continually points others toward Jesus Christ. (Colossians 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Remember who you are in Christ and whose you are. As you reflect on God’s grace and His purposes for your life, let gratitude shape your worship, service, relationships, and witness every day.

Following Jesus does not exempt us from hardship. In this message from 1 Peter 4-5, Pastor Chris Teien explains how believers can remain faithful through suffering, trust God’s purposes in trials, and find strength to keep moving forward without losing heart.

God can use our struggles to strengthen faith, deepen dependence on Him, and prepare us for faithful service. As we trust His promises, praise Him in difficult seasons, bring Him our anxieties, and place our lives in His hands, we can persevere with hope.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 PREPARE FOR THE PRESSURE OF TRIALS

Scripture teaches that suffering and opposition are normal parts of following Christ in a broken world. Rather than assuming every hardship means something has gone wrong, believers can trust God to use trials to refine and strengthen their faith. (1 Peter 4:12-13; James 1:2-4)

#2 PRAISE CHRIST IN THE PAIN

When we suffer because we are faithfully following Jesus, we honor Him by continuing to worship, obey, and trust Him. God’s Spirit remains with believers, and our faithfulness through hardship can bring glory to Christ. (Romans 8:17; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 4:14-16)

#3 PLACE YOUR LIFE IN GOD’S HANDS

God remains faithful when life is hard. As we continue doing what is right and entrust ourselves to our faithful Creator, He strengthens our faith and accomplishes His purposes through us. (1 Peter 4:19; 1 Peter 5:6-7)

#4 BRING EVERY CARE TO GOD IN PRAYER

The Lord invites believers to cast every burden, worry, and anxiety upon Him because He genuinely cares for His children. Prayer brings our concerns before God and helps us endure with His peace and strength. (Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Peter 5:6-7)

#5 STAND FIRM AGAINST THE ENEMY

The Christian life includes spiritual opposition. Believers must remain alert, resist the devil, stand firm in the faith, and encourage one another. The God of all grace promises to restore, strengthen, and establish His people. (Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10)

Do not allow hardship to cause you to lose heart. Trust God’s purposes, remain faithful in every season, and remember that He can use even your greatest trials to strengthen your faith and prepare you for eternity.

Leadership is not reserved for pastors, executives, or elected officials. Every follower of Jesus influences someone. In this message from 1 Peter 3-5, Pastor Chris Teien explains how believers can lead with courage, integrity, humility, and conviction while remaining faithful to Christ in a challenging world.

Christian leadership begins with character before position. As we pursue peace, stand firm in our faith, graciously explain the hope of the gospel, refuse compromise, and humbly care for others, God uses our lives to influence people and bring glory to Jesus Christ.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 PURSUE PEACE WHILE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT

God calls believers to turn from evil, actively pursue peace, and consistently do what is right. Even when others misunderstand or oppose us, our faithful character can point people toward Christ. (Psalm 34:12-16; Romans 12:18; 1 Peter 3:8-12)

#2 STAND FIRM WITHOUT GIVING IN TO FEAR

Fear can silence our witness, but Christ calls us to courage. As we honor Him above human approval, public opinion, or earthly consequences, we gain confidence to live faithfully. (Isaiah 8:12-13; 1 Peter 3:13-15)

#3 SHARE THE HOPE OF CHRIST WITH GENTLENESS AND RESPECT

Every believer should be prepared to explain the reason for their hope in Jesus. Our witness should combine biblical truth with humility, wisdom, kindness, and genuine respect for the people listening. (Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Peter 3:15-16)

#4 CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS OVER COMPROMISE

Following Christ sometimes brings opposition, but it is better to suffer for doing what is right than to compromise biblical truth. Believers can continue obeying Christ because He suffered for our sins and brought us to God. (1 Peter 3:17-18; 1 Peter 4:12-16)

#5 LEAD WITH HUMILITY AND INTEGRITY

Whether leading at home, work, church, or in the community, Christian leadership should be marked by humility, godly character, faithful example, and genuine care for others. Jesus defined greatness through service rather than status. (Mark 10:42-45; 1 Peter 5:1-6)

You do not need a title to be a leader. Wherever God has placed you, lead with courage, humility, and conviction, pointing people to Jesus through your words and example.

Life is not always fair, but followers of Jesus can still live as winners in God’s eyes. In this message from 1 Peter 2-3, Pastor Chris Teien explains how believers can honor Christ through respectful conduct, godly relationships, and gracious responses when facing unfair treatment or difficult circumstances.

The world often defines winning through success, recognition, power, and comfort. God measures faithfulness differently. As we honor proper authority, serve our families, and respond to mistreatment with humility and grace, our lives can become powerful witnesses for Jesus Christ.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 HONOR AUTHORITY AS AN ACT OF WORSHIP

God calls believers to respect governing authorities and live honorable lives that reflect Christ. Even when we disagree with leaders, respectful conduct protects our gospel witness and demonstrates trust in God’s sovereignty. Respect does not require obeying commands that violate God’s Word. (1 Peter 2:13-17; Acts 5:29; Romans 13:1-7)

#2 MAKE YOUR HOME A PLACE THAT HONORS CHRIST

Our strongest testimony often begins at home. Peter calls wives and husbands to honor God through faithful conduct, respect, understanding, and sacrificial care. Christlike marriage should reflect the love and character of Jesus and must never be used to excuse coercion or abuse. (1 Peter 3:1-7; Ephesians 5:22-33)

#3 CHOOSE BLESSING INSTEAD OF REVENGE

Followers of Christ are called to respond to insults, criticism, and mistreatment without retaliation. Choosing grace does not prevent wise boundaries or appropriate accountability. It means refusing personal revenge and trusting God while continuing to do what is right. (1 Peter 3:8-12; Romans 12:17-21)

You do not have to win by the world’s standards to be successful in God’s eyes. Honor Christ in every relationship, respond with grace when life feels unfair, and trust that God sees your faithfulness.
