The Well Community Church Sermons

This past Sunday, Pastor Trey Etter shared how Jesus’ dinner invitation to Levi in Luke 5:27–32 turns the ordinary table into a powerful tool for relational ministry. By intentionally focusing on the E in our BLESS series—Eating together—we see Jesus model a radical hospitality that avoids demanding people clean up before they can belong, or accepting them with no expectation of heart transformation. Instead, Jesus extends an immediate welcome and a call to repentance simultaneously. As sent ambassadors, we have the opportunity to turn ordinary meals into meaningful moments of ministry and connection

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar walked us through Mark 10, contrasting the spiritual blindness of James and John with the physical blindness of Bartimaeus. While the disciples sought positions of power and glory, Bartimaeus recognized his desperate need and cried out for mercy. Pastor Chris reminded us that we are often "blind to our own blindness," assuming we deserve more from God than we have received. True sight begins when we stop striving for status and adopt the humble posture of a beggar, fully dependent on Jesus’ miraculous grace.

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar shared from John 1 to show how Jesus, the eternal Word, brings light and clarity to a world distorted by darkness. Just as a night light comforts a child, Jesus’ presence reveals who He truly is and invites us to become children of God by receiving Him. While we are not the source of that light, we are called to be witnesses who point others toward the grace and truth found only in Him.

Pastor Trey Etter shares how the book of Haggai exposes our tendency to build "paneled houses" of personal comfort while leaving our spiritual lives in ruins. Like the exiles who worked hard but remained unsatisfied, we often fall into a cycle of hollow productivity when our priorities are misaligned. Trey reminded us that our discontent is frequently God’s "megaphone," calling us back to His presence. Ultimately, the Shalom we crave—true wholeness and peace—cannot be achieved through our own striving, but is found only in the person of Jesus.

Pastor Chris walk us through Jeremiah 42 to show how fear and pride often drive us to ruinous decisions. Using the example of the Israelites who were "backed into a corner" by Babylon, we saw the danger of moving forward with plans we’ve already made without God, simply asking Him to rubber-stamp our agenda. However, God is eager to bless His people when they trust His promise: "I am with you." True faith means rejecting the urge to "know better" than God and instead submitting our plans to His Word and His presence.

Pastor Chris unpacks the conflict between God and Ahab, the sending of Elijah, and the illustration of God's desire of your heart.

Pastor Chris is back to walk through God's presence in Israel, in our lives, and His will in the blessing and building of the Temple.

John 3:16'For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.'If God was this generous, may He help our hearts to be like His.
