The Well Church Keller Sermons

A good start doesn’t guarantee a good finish.
In this week’s message, Trey shares a funny (and humbling) story from his sixth-grade basketball days and connects it to the rise and fall of King Saul. What begins with good intentions can easily drift off course when we start believing the lie that “it’s all about you.”

Through Saul’s story in 1 Samuel, Trey reminds us that obedience and attention matter more than performance and sacrifice. The challenge for us today: pay attention to the Father, so we can not only start well—but finish well.

Key Takeaways:

A good start doesn’t guarantee a good finish

How good intentions can drift into disobedience

The danger of the “Do you” mindset

What it really means to “pay attention” to God

Two rhythms that help us stay focused: authentic time with God and authentic time with God’s people

Scripture: 1 Samuel 9–15; 1 Samuel 15:22; 1 Corinthians 10:12

Series: Bamboozled — How the enemy deceives us with lies about our wants, work, witness, and worry

In this message from our Bamboozled series, Pastor Trey explores the subtle lie our culture tells us every day: “You work hard, you deserve it.”

Through the story of King Solomon, we see how easy it is to chase satisfaction through success, possessions, and status — only to end up empty. Solomon had it all: palaces, vineyards, wealth, and wisdom. Yet in the end, he declared it all futile.

True satisfaction doesn’t come from what we earn, own, or achieve. It comes from the One who has already done the work.

Key themes:

The idolatry of consumerism

Why “more” never satisfies

The difference between living to consume and consuming to live

Three lessons about the danger of overconsumption

Scripture references:

Ecclesiastes 2:4–11

1 Kings 7:1–12

Psalm 42:1

Romans 12:2

Ecclesiastes 3:11–12

Reflect this week:
👉 What is God calling you to consume less of?
👉 What is God calling you to consume more of?

We all fall for lies that promise happiness but leave us empty. This week, Currey kicks off our Bamboozled series with a hard but honest look at one of the most disturbing stories in Scripture — David and Bathsheba.

It’s a story about desire, power, and the danger of believing the lie: “If you want it, you deserve it.”
But it’s also about something deeper — how our hearts are far too easily pleased by temporary things when infinite joy is offered to us in God.

In this message, Currey reminds us that:

Power and prosperity can quietly corrupt our hearts.

We’re often distracted and numb instead of present with God.

True satisfaction comes only from being with our Creator, not chasing what we think will fill us.

So, how do we resist being bamboozled by our own desires?
By slowing down, making space, and rediscovering joy in the God who made us for Himself.

📖 Scripture: 2 Samuel 11–12
💬 Quote: “We are far too easily pleased.” — C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

We all have little things that bother us—loud chewing, people talking during movies, or even a crooked picture on the wall. But what if those crooked pictures were more than a pet peeve? What if they pointed us to how God works in our lives?

In this message, we explore what it means to be equipped—to let God make small adjustments in our lives that bring us into alignment with Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and Acts 2, we’ll discover three ways God equips us:

Through deep, loving, long-term relationships with His people

Through a deep, loving, long-term relationship with Him

Through the refining work of suffering

Equipping isn’t about perfection—it’s about progression. God is constantly aligning us, shaping us, and preparing us to live as His people in the world.

👉 If you’re feeling out of alignment, discouraged, or even suffering, this message is for you.

Sometimes we think we see clearly—until God shows us what we’ve been missing. In this message, Pastor Adrien Parker shares from Acts 11 about Peter’s vision and the way the gospel reshapes how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and our world.

You’ll hear:

Why self-focused and world-focused lenses both leave us stuck

How the gospel functions as both a microscope (examining our hearts) and a telescope (bringing people together)

What it looks like to live with a gospel vision in today’s divided world

This message also reflects on The Well’s 10-year journey and God’s faithfulness in building a diverse, Spirit-led community.

💡 Key Scripture: Acts 11:1–18

We’ve all been there—the moment when we disappoint ourselves, do the very thing we swore we wouldn’t, and wonder, “How could God love someone like me?”

In this message from Romans 7, we explore the inner struggle Paul describes—the tension between the Spirit and the flesh, the good we want to do and the brokenness we can’t seem to escape.

Through stories of Peter, David, Adam and Eve, and even our own lives, we’re reminded of this truth:
👉 We are far more broken than we can imagine.
👉 We are far more loved than we could ever dream.

Even in our failure, Jesus meets us at the table and says, “Come eat with me.”

Description:
Few things hurt more than being let down by fellow believers. In this message, we explore why it cuts so deep, how Jesus himself experienced betrayal and abandonment, and what it means for our faith when the church falls short.

We’ll talk about:

Why Christians sometimes hurt each other

How Jesus grieved over rejection and betrayal

The role of doubt in deepening our faith

The hope we find in a God who suffers with us

If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment in the church or questioned your place in the community of faith, this sermon is for you.

Description:

Have you ever prayed and prayed, only to feel like God didn’t come through? In this message, we wrestle with what it means to trust God when life doesn’t go the way we hoped. Looking at Jeremiah 20, we see a prophet who felt deceived, abandoned, and mocked—and yet he still found the courage to declare, “But the Lord is with me.”

This episode explores:

Why doubt doesn’t cause cracks in our faith but reveals them

The danger of defining God by our circumstances

How to shift our perspective to define circumstances by God’s character

The unshakable promise that God will never leave us or forsake us

If you’ve ever felt like God has let you down, this message is for you.

Episode Description:
After a time of rest and reflection, Pastor Trey Grant returns with a deeply personal and timely question: “Where are you?” Not just physically—but emotionally, spiritually, mentally. In this message rooted in Genesis 3 and echoed in the life of Jesus, Pastor Trey invites us to stop hiding and start being honest about where we are with God. Whether you feel tired, angry, afraid, or numb—this message reminds you that God is not waiting to punish but longing to pursue. He’s asking where you are, not because He doesn’t know, but because He wants to meet you there.

In This Episode:

The significance of God’s question to Adam and Eve: “Where are you?”

What it means to show up emotionally and spiritually

How sabbath rest revealed Trey’s own state of being

Why God always meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be

A powerful invitation to honesty, healing, and anointing

Key Scriptures:
Genesis 3:8–10, Matthew 11:28, Isaiah 40:1, Matthew 5:4

📌 Episode Description:
In this episode, Jodie shares a deeply personal story of following God’s call—only to find herself in the middle of chaos, discomfort, and disappointment. Sound familiar? Drawing from the life of Abraham, Jodie explores how God uses long seasons, painful ambiguity, and unmet expectations to form us—not frustrate us.

You’ll discover the five facets of faith seen in Abraham’s journey—and how each one challenges the culture of quick fixes, control, and comfort we live in.

Whether you’re facing uncertainty or just trying to hold on to hope, this episode reminds us: God keeps His promises, even when the path is hard. And He’s not just forming a solution—He’s forming you.

🗝️ Key Takeaways:

Why faith is always rooted in grace, not merit

How God uses ambiguity to build dependence

The danger of rushing ahead and making “backup plans”

Why waiting well is a countercultural act of trust

A simple practice (fasting) to grow spiritual resilience

🧠 Reflection Questions:

Which of the five facets of faith resonates with your current season?

What is one area where you’re tempted to rush ahead of God?

What could you fast from this week to grow your trust and dependence on Him?
