Venture Church Messages

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.

What would you do differently if you knew how many days you actually had to live? In Psalm 90, Moses prays a strange prayer: teach us to number our days. Not to count down what's left, but to intentionally live with urgency, choose wisdom, and use our influence while we still have it. You don't need more years to make an impact; you need the right purpose in the years you already have. Join us this Father's Day to learn how to live out a legacy worth handing down.

What do you want? That sounds like a simple question, but what if our "wanter" is broken? Our biggest regrets are almost always tied to something we chased in the moment. Psalm 37 exposes how disordered and distorted desires leave us empty and eventually wreck us. The good news? God doesn't just tell us to want better things. As we learn to delight in Him, He reshapes our desires so that our wants become what we truly need. Guard your heart, take delight in the Lord, and discover what you were made to want.

With 15,000 self-help books published every year and a $14 billion industry built around one question - "how can I make my life better?" - what if we've been looking in the wrong place? As we kick off our new series, We Are: One Church, we are looking to Psalm 1 to find a different kind of answer: a blessed life isn't found in mastering your own destiny, but in delighting in God and staying rooted in His Word. Join us as we discover what it looks like to live in faithful obedience, delight in God's truth, and stand firm, drawing life from the only source that never runs dry.

Have you ever felt like you didn't measure up? Cornelius was the wrong background, wrong religion, wrong everything by the early church's standards. But God saw something different. Acts 10 shows us that God has never shown favoritism when sharing the gospel, and neither should we. Join us as we discover how God works through ordinary people to reach ordinary people.
