Venture Church

We continue on with week two of this series through the book of Exodus. Last week we read about Moses hearing the voice of God and witnessing His power through a burning bush. We pick up to when God performs some even more incredible miracles before Moses heads out to Egypt. There is an applicable point that we learn from this story that you don't want to miss. Tune in this week for week two throu...

Over the next several weeks we will be following the life of Moses through the book of Exodus. This week we start with a bit of back story on where we are in history in the Bible. We also cover the first three chapters of Exodus and share a powerful truth about God and His power. This series is filled with miracles and moments that will blow your mind in how incredible the God of Abraham is. Tune...

Do you ever have the feeling that you just want to do better in life? That you want to make a difference? That you want to be a better parent, friend or spouse? Jesus shares in John 15 a powerful truth that will bring light to that yearning. Jesus calls Himself the vine and then calls us the branches. That if we remain in Him we will bear much fruit. The thought is a bit abstract but extremely fou...

This week we are at Hugh Macrae Park! Every year we have Church at the park and it is a wonderful time to sing to God and hear His word in His creation. We continue the series "I Am" by staying in John chapter 10 for another "I Am" statement from Jesus. Tune in this week and hear how Jesus is the good shepherd. 

Throughout this series we are reading through every "I Am" statement Jesus says about himself. This week we land in John chapter 10 and read through a very famous parable that Jesus teaches on. We learn about several qualities about Jesus that are vital to the christian walk. Continue on this journey with us through the book of John to learn more about the character of Jesus.

Jesus has several statements in the book of John that begin with "I am." After these, each time Jesus begins to describe himself to everyone listening in a way that is extremely eye opening. He is handing over the keys to The Kingdom of God. He's handing over truth to us that is life changing. This series we go through all of those statements to learn from the words of Jesus himself.

We are kicking off a new teaching series this week called "I Am." We will be going through the 7 statements Jesus claims about himself. Statements like, "I am the bread of life" can be confusing to hear out of the mouth of Jesus. It was even confusing at times for His followers. But thankfully Jesus explains himself and throughout the series we will be diving in to the truth that He is who He says...

True redemption is hard to find at times. When we make mistakes or have regrets of any kind it is tough to turn them fuel for a better future. As we wrap up the final week of Starting Over, Patrick shares a wonderful story from the book of Ruth about redemption. The truth is that through Jesus and the promises of God he truly wants to redeem every bit of pain and sorrow in your life into something...

Once we have recognized the regrets we have encountered the next step is to forgive. Forgive yourself and ultimately forgive the other parties involved in your regrets. Forgiveness is at the center of God's heart and this week we learn the ins and outs of what forgiveness is and more importantly what it is not. Through the words of Jesus we find his never ending promises and his never ending forgi...

A huge part of the healing process through our many regrets are first recognizing the wrong that has happened. Whether we committed it, it happened to us, or it is something that we have ignored it is vital that we recognize that it is there so that we can take the next steps to truly giving it all to God for healing to happen. It is possible to start over, but only through the path that Jesus set...

It's Easter Sunday this week and we start with a new series that is all about sharing what Jesus has done for us. We all have regrets, but Jesus gives us life beyond each and every one of them. There is nothing that you have or haven't done that He can't give you grace for. He is faithful to the end and on this Sunday we celebrate more than ever the most important thing Jesus brought for all of hu...

On our last week of "Lamplighters" we learn about the most important part that light brings. It is the moment when we find what we are looking for! Say we have illumnation and we have the navigation to get us there but if you never find it then what's the point? The creator of the universe celebrates with all the heavens when we turn away from life in darkness and give it to Him the maker of the l...

As we continue with this three part series "Lamplighters" we go over the second property that light brings us, navigation. Once the light illuminates our surroundings it shows us the ins and outs of the path ahead. Jesus provides navigation for us as we seek for truth in our lives. When we look to the Bible we find out purpose and truth beyond what this world can give us. Tune in this week as we l...

Back in the day when we did not have electric lighting in cities there was a very important role, the lamp lighter. He or she would light lamps throughout the city streets to provide guidance and safety for the citizens. Jesus claimed to be the light of the world to all mankind. A different light than just a bright room or street but the brightest light in our soul to provide hope and rescue beyon...

Finalizing this series through Galatians could not end on a better note. We land in a passage that is so challenging but yet so freeing if we put it into practice. The truths that we learn through the ending of Galatians and the principles of the Bible are what truly set us free from our chains that hold us back from the life that God designed us to live. Tune in this week as we hear Patrick close...

Jesus sets us free by offering grace and mercy, but also adoption into His Kingdom. The reason we end up chained in life alot of times is because we allow things of the world to take higher value than God in our hearts. Jesus offers redemption from all of our wrongs and invites us into His family. By making Him the highest of value in your heart and calling on his name for strength in life it sets...

As we continue to go through the book of Galatians we wrap up chapter two with one compelling story that the writer Paul gives us. One that we believe could dramatically change your heart to be more of a Christ follower and live how God designed us to live. Learning about the grace of God and seeing how He loves His creation is powerful. Join us in continuing to learn about how to be unchained fro...

In this series "Unchained" we are going through the whole book of Galatians. One of the smaller letters Paul writes in the New Testament but filled with wisdom and truth that we should abide by. Tune in this week to hear the good news of Jesus and the freedom His sacrifice brings if we choose to accept it!

Have you ever had the question, "why Sunday morning services"? Through this series we have been diving in to the elements of Sunday morning but this morning we dissect why we should be a part of Sunday morning regularly. We talk about the importance of community and the reason that the Church as a whole exists. This week is one of the most applicable talks of the series and we hope this brings you...

As we continue in this series of diving into why Sunday morning looks like it does, we talk about a topic that is close to the heart of God and that is generosity with our money. In the teaching time this morning we talk about why we have an offering, where the "tithe" comes from, and most importantly why our God wants us to give. We understand that the thought of talking about money on stage from...

Is it just bread and juice? Why is it important at Venture Church to share in communion every Sunday? What is communion really even for? Our hope through this "Dissecting Sunday" series is that we all see the value in why we do what we do in Sunday morning services. Communion was a core value for the early church in the Bible, so we do the same because it was valuble to them. There are more answer...

Through this Dissecting Sunday series we have learned quite a bit about Sunday services and the value of the different elements. This week we dive into a topic that is very dear to God's heart, singing to Him. Praising and worshipping God is very important in our walk of faith. This week we take the time to see the value in singing and praising God and how we should take high value in it as well. 

Church services are different than most gatherings in around the world. There are elements that you only find in organized religion and some that aren't. With everything we do at Venture we want to have purpose and value behind it. So, with this series we dissect and explain why as a church we do what we do. Why as Christians are these principles important in not only church but in our week to wee...

You ever wonder why church is even a thing? Why people congregate together on a Sunday? Why there are songs, teaching, and offering? Well, in this seven week series we are going to dissect Sunday. We are going to go through all the asspects of our church service and show how they all point back to the Bible and how the early church glorified God. Tune in this week to learn about Worship. 

Every year at Venture we celebrate the birth of Jesus with a unique service to glorify Him and teach. This year we had an interactive service that was a narrative of the story fo Jesus and how important His light is in our lives. Chris shares a snippet on how valuable light is in our lives and that Jesus is the only true light in this world.
