Venture Church

Jesus offers the real thing. Not a fake substitute that will just get you by but truly what you have been looking for. Each of us are seeking for purpose or comfort in something. It's different for every person but Jesus came to earth, died, and rose from the grave by His own power to show us just how much He loves us. Not only that, but He wants you to know that to find the real meaning of life y...

Jesus gives us all an invitation to follow Him. That invitation is to a life of joy and purpose in His will. It's not easy but it is simple and every bit of guidance we need is found in Him and the Bible. 

There are many things in life that leave a mark on us whether we want them to or not. Jesus calls everyone of us into a life with Him that will change us for eternity. He gives us the option to follow Him and be a part of His mission or to live life according to what we want and desire. Living life the way Jesus desires is how we were created to live. Tune in this week to help course correct your...

Whether you use New Year's resolutions as a spark or not, we all have goals that we want to accomplish. With 2018 taking off we hit the ground running as a church with a goal driving us that is, creating space in our lives for God to move. It's easy to fill our lives with filler that will never bring the hope and joy that Jesus brings. If you have a hard time following Jesus or are unsure where to...

This Christmas we decided to do something different with our service and have several pre recorded teaching moments flow throughout the service. This podcast is the cap to the videos which is spoken live. Head to  https://youtu.be/ZG1zk6OvKh0  to start the first of three videos that set up this live podcast. This talk is one to dig in and remember the reason why Jesus came and why our lives should...

To cap off this series, we take a look at some of the unsung heroes of the Christmas story. We learn quite a bit from their perspective and see a bigger picture of the heart of God through them.

Many of us are still asking the age old question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" With our priorities and goals constantly changing there is no wonder why many people aren'y content with their current job. There are many people with their dream job and still are feeling like they have no purpose. The truth is that contentment comes from Jesus and finding our purpose in Him. This week we...

In this new series Christmas for Misfits we introduce the Christmas Story as told by Luke. Whether you have heard this story many times or it is your first you don't want to miss the powerful truth we find in Luke chapter 2. 

We tend to lean heavily on being busy as a good thing and being tired as meaning we've been productive. Production is huge in the society we live in today and what God teaches about rest is pivotal in how we live our lives according to what He wants for us.  Believe it or not production is not the main goal He has for us. If you're tired and weary and need rest for your souls tune in this week to...

Money is such a huge part of our lives. So, it makes sense that Bible talks about it a lot. This week, we'll be looking at what it means God to put God first when it comes to our money; specifically what does the Bible have to say about "tithing?" Take a listen to this healthy approach to giving God your best. 

What does it mean for us to give God “the best of me?” Well, this week we dive deeply into that question as we stand in front of a proverbial closet and chose what we will put on. This teaching is pivotal in knowing what it means to live a life that is focused on God. 

Aaron, our worship minister at Venture, shares with us this morning about why we should find purpose in the Lord. If you're at a place in life where you wake up without much drive and are just going through the motions of life, tune in this week in how to find your purpose in Jesus and feel contentment like you've never felt before.

This week Patrick, our Youth group Leader and volunteer, brings the message in our series through the book of 1 Peter. Many times in our faith we get blide sided by testing situations, but Peter gives us forewarning of these moments. We learn this week that trials will come so have a different perspective throughout them.

The Gospel does not align with American culture in many ways. As Christians we are called to be holy, set apart, for God's purpose. Sometimes it can be a struggle to live for the Lord, but most of the time we just lose sight or don't know why it is even important to. Tune in this week as our very own, Logan, brings the message this Sunday on how to have different values in an unholy culture and wh...

This week we kick off a new series through the book of 1st Peter. With recent events that have happened in the world it is easy to allow thoughts that disprove God's faithfulness arise. Throughout scripture there are even worse events than we've seen in our time in the world but God is always good and forever faithful. If you struggle with faith and trusting God or you just need to hear the good n...

Capping off this "At The Movies" series we end with an epic movie filled with courage. Fear has the potential to rule us if we let it. Most of the time we don't even realize that it has influence in our lives. This is a series ender you don't want to miss. 

Whether you've seen the couple of movies or had the pleasure to read the books, The Chronicles Of Narnia is one epic series! This Sunday we use just the first movie, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe, as a launching point to get into the Bible. The writer, C.S. Lewis, purposefully wrote this story to correlate with Christianity. The parallels found in this series are a great way to teach about t...

This week we have a special guest from Papua New Guinea, Brian Paris. He serves with Pioneer Bible Translators, an organization that strives to translate the Bible into languages that don't have readable versions yet. He shares several breathtaking stories and challenges with our Church that we would love for you to be challenged and encouraged by. Tune in this week to hear about the amazing thing...

Harry Potter is nothing without his friends. Yes he's very natural when it comes to learning spells and enchantments, but his friends are part of the victory at the end of the series along with Harry. There are similarities between the community found in this series and also the community found in the Bible. Tune in this week to learn some very important principles about community and why we need...

Every week during this series we use an epic movie as a launching pad to dive into the Bible. We kick off the series with one of the most epic movie series ever, "Star Wars." Through today's message we learn more about the Spirit of God and the war inside each and every one of us. 

A lot has happened since Moses encountered God on Mount Sinai. Moses is continuing his life living for the glory of the Lord. There are years of wandering and years of battle, but yet Moses remains faithful to the Lord. Moses' character shines brightly through the mess they are in in these final chapters we have of his life. If you need encouragement and to know more about God through the Bible th...

The 10 Commandments are there for a reason and the reason is love. God loves us too much for us to live life in a degrading way to our souls and our bodies. He gave us Jesus and the 10 commandments to help with that and bring Him glory. You don't want to miss out on the truth behind the last 6 and how vital it is to understand their power in our lives. 

Ever wondered why rules exist throughout the Bible? Why does God have commandments for people to follow? The main point is that God loves us more than we realize because He knows what's best for us. If the Ten Commandments have been something hard to swallow at times, tune in this week to see the truth behind it's purpose. 

We tend to be a people that are very happy in the mountain tops but then flip to extremely sad in the vallys. We forget who is really in control through both the highs and the lows. The people in in the Bible are the exact same. We see just how faitfhul God is to His people and how He will never fail us even when we fail Him.

Here we are at the part of Moses' story that brings us the title of this book, Exodus. We arrive at the most famous part of the story when God is performing nation wide miracles. Amazing things that even Pixar in all their video production glory couldn't even begin to recreate on screen. Finally by the end of the story Pharoh relents and a huge change happens when the people of Israel are set free...
