The Well Community Church Sermons

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar taught the final S in the BLESS series,  Share Your Story , reminding us that when the good news of Jesus becomes the best news in our lives, we will share it with others. Looking at Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well in John 4, we saw how one person’s encounter with Jesus led many others to believe. Like the woman who went and told her town about Jes...

This past Sunday, Pastor Aaron Sanders taught the first S in the BLESS series,  Service,  reminding us that service is sacrificial love for the glory of God and the good of others. From Galatians 6:2–5, we were reminded of the difference between burdens that are too heavy to carry alone and the personal responsibilities each of us are called to carry. Like the friends who brought the paralytic to...

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 transforma...

Today, we hear from Pastor Chris Millar as he focuses on  listening,  the second rhythm of the BLESS model. Walking through the Road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we see how Jesus beautifully modeled a ministry of proximity, patience, and thoughtful questions. Instead of rushing to fix the disciples' grief or immediately revealing His identity, He invited them to share their own story. By genuinely listen...

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar launched our summer series, BLESS, by looking at our very first habit:  Begin with Prayer . Walking through Jesus’ ministry in Luke and the early church in Acts, we see that real mission is always birthed in prayer. It’s not just a religious chore; it’s a posture of gospel dependency that aligns our hearts with God's heart for the lost. When we couple a de...

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar concluded our 40-week journey through Scripture by looking at Revelation. Across 66 books, the Bible tells one cohesive story: God eagerly sharing His goodness by restoring all things through Jesus. While humanity constantly wanders away to find fulfillment, God relentlessly brings us home. From the Garden of Eden and the Temple to Jesus taking on flesh and th...

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar walked us through Galatians 5 to look at the powerful reality that while Jesus has completely set us free, it is shockingly easy to drift back into spiritual captivity. We often slide into one of two extremes: the exhausting treadmill of self-justification—where we try to earn what Christ has already achieved—or a boundaryless life that misuses freedom as an e...

Chris Millar explore Ephesians 4 to illustrate the "put off, put on" principle of the Christian life. He reminds us that because of our relationship with Jesus, we must discard the "rags" of our old nature—sensuality, greed, and hardness of heart. True transformation isn't just moral improvement; it requires being renewed in our minds to embrace a new identity. We are calle...

Andy Abramson explores Acts 10, showing how God often disrupts our comfortable religious categories to expand our mission. Using Peter’s vision of the "unclean" animals, we see that God’s plan for reconciliation has always been global, reaching across every ethnic and social boundary. Peter had to learn that the people he was avoiding were the very ones God was pursuing. When Peter obedi...

This past Sunday, Pastor Trey Etter walked us through Saul’s dramatic encounter with Jesus in Acts 9, reminding us that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. Saul’s world was shattered as he realized his religious zeal was actually a war against the Messiah Himself. This "crushing" of his self-made identity and religious performance was necessary to make room for a new life buil...

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar walked us through the birth of the early church in Acts 1-2, using the powerful imagery of a sailboat to describe our walk with God. Just as a boat drifts aimlessly without the wind, we often find ourselves exhausted by "rowing"—trying to manage our schedules and ministries through human effort and "motors" of self-sufficiency. We are invited instead to wait o...

Following Jesus isn’t just getting to do whatever we want and slapping Jesus’ name on it. It is progressively becoming more obedient to His commands and teaching others to do likewise. If we are going to be a church that multiplies disciples, it will require four things of us: 1) Intentionality, 2) Identifying with Jesus, 3) Inside Out Discipleship - living as followers first, servants second, and...

This past Sunday, Chris Millar shared how Jesus alone robs death of its power. We often find ourselves in "God’s waiting room," struggling with disappointments like unanswered prayers or the loss of loved ones. Like Martha, we may limit Jesus’ authority to the past or the distant future, but Jesus declares He is the Resurrection and the Life right now. Whether meeting us with "even...

This past Sunday, Pastor Chris Millar taught from Mark 11 on the "Triumphal Entry," where Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem served as a divine inspection of His people. Just as He looked for fruit on the fig tree and genuine worship in the Temple, He examines our hearts today to see if our private devotion matches our public praise. We are challenged to move beyond the "crowd" and be...

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 Go...

This past Sunday, Pastor Mark Strong shared how the Kingdom of Heaven is primarily about the eternal presence of God with man, rather than just an earthly power or a future destination. Entering this Kingdom requires more than religious performance; it demands a vibrant, personal relationship with Jesus marked by loving what He loves and obeying His commands. True repentance means turning from our...

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 a...

In Sunday's message, Andy Abramson shared how our desire for God’s presence often ignores the reality of His holiness. While we want God to "show up" and fix our circumstances, His arrival often brings disruption before peace. As a "refiner’s fire," God doesn't come to destroy us, but to consume our sin so His image is reflected in our lives. Ultimately, this points to...

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...

Pastor Chris Millar explores Daniel 1–3 to show how consistent character, not loud rhetoric, is the key to cultural engagement. By refusing to compromise their convictions, deepening their dependence through prayer, and remaining unwavering in their worship, Daniel and his friends built a "currency of trust" that eventually turned a pagan nation toward God. Their story reminds us that we...

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 a...

Pastor Chris walk through 2 Kings 18-19, looking at King Hezekiah and choosing God's truth over compromise. What is it like to lean on God's presence when life hits hard?

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

Pastort Chris discusses God's glorious plans from Solomon's Temple through using Christ to make us His new Temple.

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.
