Venture Church Messages

Sometimes we approach the Bible like a to-do list, a bank account, or a way to earn favor. But reading God's Word was never intended to be a burden to carry. It is an opportunity to know God better, and through that, to know ourselves better. Join us and learn how freedom is found in reading the Bible.

We may believe the Bible is true, but many of us rarely open it. What if it isn’t a book to get through, but one worth loving? Join us as we start a new three-week series on the Bible and discover why Scripture is God-breathed, how to learn it, and how to live it out. Love it. Learn it. Live it.

What would it take for you to say, “I have enough”? So much of our happiness depends on circumstances going our way, and when they don’t, we just chase the next thing. Join us for the conclusion of the "Press On" series as we look at Philippians 4. Discover a quiet rest in Jesus that holds steady whether we’re in need or in plenty. He is enough.

Joy. Gentleness. Peace. We all want them, but they tend to disappear right when we need them most. In Philippians, Paul doesn’t tell us to try harder; he tells us to bring it to God. Join us as we continue to press on and discover how God equips us with exactly what we need.

Ever feel like giving up? Some days it may feel as though our past is pulling us back, the grind is wearing us down, and the spark we once had for Jesus is fading. In Philippians 3, Paul shows us how to keep going: let go of what's behind, keep reaching for Christ, and fix our eyes on the day when he makes everything right. Join us Sunday as we continue to press on in our faith.

How do we know we're growing? In Philippians, Paul shares indicators of spiritual growth. Join us as we continue our "Press On" series and unpack the five marks of a growing believer.

What's actually different about you now that you follow Jesus? In Philippians, Paul points us toward a new unity, a new attitude, and a new posture — all rooted in the humility of Christ. Join us as we ask how following Jesus should actually change how we live, treat others, and serve. Let this be the season we start living differently.

"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.
