Venture Church

It's hard to prioritize. Especially when life is crazy. But God has really simplified it for us in His word. Let's spend some time talking about what is "of first importance!" 

This, our final week of the "Sacred" series, we look at what it takes to stand up against the forces that are vying for our souls. You can watch the video stream on our youtube channel!

As we continue the teaching series we have been in for several weeks, this is also week 1 of our live-stream online church service (brought to you by COVID-19). For updates about how our church is gathering visit www.jointheventure.com

This week, we hear Aaron Collins share about the real-life-struggle of what happens when the rubber meets the road with Holy living. 

A life lived for God should be different. Throughout the Bible, we see places, habits, thoughts, ideas, and especially PEOPLE being set apart for His glory. This week we kick off a series focused on what it means to live that kind of life. 

In our final week of Jumpstart, we look at some basic habits that are very important as we seek to learn what it means to trust God. 

This is where the rubber meets the road. If we want our faith to grow, sometimes the best thing for us to do is jump in and see how we can serve others in God's name. This week we see Jesus as he teaches His power to multiply our smallest efforts and turn them into amazing results. AND BONUS: we'll wrap it all up with the testimony of a missionary from the Dominican Republic named Ed Zogg to see h...

God has allowed PEOPLE to play a major role in shaping our faith. But what does it look like to be intentional about having those pivotal people in your life? Let's talk about that. 

Practice makes perfect... but what should we practice? This week we look at the faith growing catalyst of "Practical Teaching" and see what it takes to trust God as we weather life's storms. 

You know what's true? God really values our faith. Over and over, we're told how important faith is when it comes to our relationship with Him. You know what's also true? Faith can be really hard! What does it even mean to "have faith?" Let's spend some time exploring a few SOLID practices that will Jumpstart your faith and help it grow.

In this conclusion to our series about the ways Jesus is uniquely special in our lives, we are also celebrating Christmas. This short devotional message was part of a larger program that involved narration, acting, and singing. Merry Christmas!

Lots of things "live." But Jesus is ALIVE like nothing else. Let's find out how this week as we unpack more about "Unique Jesus"

As we celebrate the Christmas season, we're going to take some time to look at the ways that Jesus is Uniquely able to do what only he can do. This week, lay the foundation and talk about Jesus as the unique way. 

Time to clock out... and rest. What does God say about our time off? Well, let's talk about "Sabbath!" 

This third week of our Good Work series asks the question, what does God have to say about the money and tackle some of the "heart conditions" that can lead to mismanaging the gifts God has given us. 

If you are serving God, when it comes to your 9-5, you don’t have to settle for having a career. In fact, you shouldn’t.. Instead, your career can become your calling.

According to some estimates, the average person will work something like 90,000 hours in their life!  And sadly, MANY PEOPLE hate their jobs. But what if we could find PURPOSE in our work. Something bigger than making a dollar or selling a product? What if we could make sense of our work that is MORE than the dollars and cents? This is week one of a series dedicated to JUST THAT. You don't want to...

As we wrap the story of Joseph's life we find him with the chance to finally get some payback for all the hurt he's been caused. What he chooses to do will set the bar for forgiveness and honoring God. 

Joseph has been through more than one person should have to go through yet somehow maintains both his faith in God and the desire to honor him. This week we're seeing his journey through time in prison, a gift for interpreting dreams, and the wild promotion he gets from prisoner to dignitary. How? Let's talk about that. 

When you really want something, it's hard to resist it. What if the thing you want goes against what God wants for your life? THIS is the struggle of temptation and sin. Let's look at the life of Joseph as he overcomes an extremely tempting opportunity to sin and learn how we can overcome temptation too. 

Life throws us a mystery basket of ingredients... some are good... some, we would never want. Either way, we've gotta make the best of it. What do we do when life is in the pits? Let's talk about that. 

Joseph was a man in the Old Testament that truly left a legacy. In his life, he became one of the most powerful men in the whole world, save thousands and thousands from a famine, restructured the way a powerful nation did their agriculture, and would be an important bridge in the story of how God built up the nation of Israel in the Old Testament. His life is the story of a God Chaser.  But befor...

The WWII Battle of Dunkirk was one of the most daring rescue missions in history. It was also a pretty epic movie. Today we use the story of Dunkirk as a springboard to dive into another rescue mission as Jesus meets a demon-possessed man in Mark 5. Learn what it means to get in the boat with a message of hope.
