Venture Church Messages

"Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit." Philippians 1:27 Join us as we look at what it means to live a life worthy of the Gospel. 

Nobody signs up for suffering. But what if the setback you're experiencing is exactly where God does his best work? Join us for the first message of the new fall series, "Press On," as we unpack Paul's story from prison to show how God takes our worst moments and flips the script, turning suffering into purpose and pain into joy. 

We all doubt. The questions, the uncertainty, the moments you're not sure what you believe — none of that disqualifies you from following Jesus. Join us as we walk through Thomas's story: a disciple who doubted out loud and still took a step of faith toward Jesus. Wherever your doubts have you right now, take your own step of faith today.

Do we water down the truth to make room for grace? Or wield truth like a weapon and call it holiness? Jesus never chose one over the other; He held both, fully, all the time. This week we continue the "Jesus is ____" series and look at what it means to live with grace and truth.

What do you do when what's in front of you doesn't seem like enough? Jesus takes what little we have, our time, our resources, our willingness, and multiplies it far beyond what we could produce on our own. Join us as we look at how Jesus is Provider, and what it looks like for us to put back in His hands what He's already given us.

Is there more to life than this? Why do I feel stuck, no matter how hard I try? Jesus is the Answer to what we can't fix ourselves. Join us as we walk through Nicodemus' late-night conversation with Jesus in John 3, uncovering what every person needs, what we can't achieve on our own, and what Jesus freely gives to anyone who believes. 

Four friends tore through a roof to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus. In that moment, we can see ourselves: desperate for healing, religiously routine, skeptically holding back, or reclaimed by grace. Which one are you right now? No matter how you see yourself today, take heart in a truth that changes everything: Jesus is the Forgiver of Sins.

Restart the fall semester with a message from Craig Curtis

"Who am I, really?" It's a question many of us ask, and the answer starts somewhere we may not expect. Psalm 24 shows us that we can't fully know ourselves until we know the God who made us. God created us on purpose, with a purpose. Come discover what that means for the life you're living right now.
