Palm Sunday isn’t just the start of Holy Week—it’s the key to understanding Easter. In this message, we unpack the connection between Palm Sunday, Passover, and the sacrifice of Jesus. From the story in Exodus to Jesus entering Jerusalem as the Lamb of God, every detail points to God’s plan to rescue and redeem us. The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna” would later cry “crucify Him.” And if we’re honest, we can find ourselves in that same tension. This message is a powerful reminder that Jesus didn’t come just to meet our expectations—He came to save us. As we step into Holy Week, this is your moment to reflect, receive His grace, and prepare your heart for Easter.

This week, we wrapped up our series through the life of Solomon—and it ends with a powerful warning. Solomon had it all: wisdom, success, influence. But over time, he drifted. What started as blessing turned into compromise, and ultimately, division. This message challenges us to look at our own lives and ask: what are we putting at the center? You may not be able to change your past—but you can change your future. As we head into Easter, this is your moment to realign, repent, and choose a different path.

What happens when pleasure becomes the center of our lives instead of God? In this message, Pastor Morgan continues our series through the life of Solomon by looking at the subtle dangers that led one of the wisest men in history away from God. Solomon’s story reminds us that sin rarely begins with rebellion. It usually begins with compromise, small decisions, and slow drift. God created pleasure as a gift, but when pleasure becomes the pursuit of our lives, it can slowly redirect our hearts away from Him. Through Solomon’s life in 1 Kings 11, we see how compromise grows, how pleasure always demands more, and why only God can truly satisfy the thirst of our souls. If you’ve ever felt the pull of distraction, comfort, or chasing things that ultimately leave you empty, this message is a powerful reminder that Jesus offers living water that truly satisfies. Watch the full message and be encouraged to place God back on the throne of your heart.

What happens when you achieve everything you ever dreamed of? In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our series through the life of Solomon and explores one of the greatest warnings in Scripture. Solomon was the wealthiest and most successful king who ever lived, yet his story reveals a powerful truth: success does not always lead to significance. Through Solomon’s life, we discover how success can slowly become addictive, deceptive, and ultimately meaningless if it pulls our hearts away from God. This message challenges us to shift our focus from chasing success to pursuing a life of true significance in God’s kingdom.

We are officially at halftime in the life of Solomon. After 20 years of building the temple, the palace, and establishing his kingdom, Solomon had achieved everything he set out to do. He was powerful, wealthy, famous, and successful beyond imagination. But the first half of the game was over. In this message, Pastor Brandon walks us through 1 Kings 9 and 2 Chronicles 7 as God gives Solomon a halftime speech. A promise. A warning. And a call to finish well. Because in the end, success is not about what you build. It is about whether you know Him. If you feel like you are in a halftime season of life, this message is for you. Join us as we continue our series on the life of Solomon.

What does it mean to make space for God? This week, we continued our series through the life of Solomon by looking at one of his greatest achievements — building the Temple. But this message is about more than a building. It’s about holiness, dedication, and what it looks like to live a life of long obedience in the same direction. If we build a space for God, He will fill it.The question is — do we want Him to? Watch as we explore:• The significance of the Temple• Solomon’s obedience (and compromise)• What happens when God’s presence fills the space• Why WE are now the temple• And what it means to live set apart today Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction to Solomon: Wise Until He Was NotLet’s make space for God.

The Man Who Had It All series, Pastor Brandon walks us through one of the most pivotal chapters in Solomon’s life — the moment where wisdom and drift exist side by side. Using the powerful illustration of drifting at the beach, this message shows how spiritual compromise rarely happens overnight. It happens slowly. Subtly. One small decision at a time. We explore: • Solomon’s early compromises • The difference between wisdom and knowledge • The famous “cut the baby in half” moment • How success can mask spiritual drift • Why finishing well matters more than starting strong Solomon asked God for wisdom — and God gave it generously. But even wisdom cannot protect someone who slowly drifts from obedience. This message is both a warning and an invitation: If you’ve been drifting, you can come home.

On Blue Sunday, Pastor Brandon continues our sermon series Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, diving into the early moments of Solomon’s reign and uncovering a powerful truth that runs through his entire story. Through Scripture in 1 Kings and the final words of David to Solomon, this message explores the idea that while Solomon worked tirelessly to remove every external enemy, he failed to address the greatest enemy of all — his own heart. Pastor Brandon challenges us to reflect on where our true battles lie, reminding us that the most significant struggles we face are often internal. Pride, unchecked desires, and misplaced affections can quietly undermine even the wisest and most successful lives. This message invites us to examine our hearts, guard what shapes us, and walk in obedience to God’s Word before small compromises become lifelong consequences. Whether you’re familiar with Solomon’s story or hearing it for the first time, this sermon offers timeless wisdom and a sobering reminder to stay attentive t

We’re kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God’s kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon’s rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination. This message also launches our second year of Kingdom Builders, calling our church to intentionally choose rhythms, habits, and priorities that keep us focused on God’s kingdom. This sermon sets the tone for the weeks ahead and invites each of us to honestly examine what we’re building with our lives.

On this powerful Vision Sunday, Pastor Brandon casts vision for the future of Venture and challenges us to live lives driven by purpose and destiny, not fear. Using the story of Caleb and the Promised Land from Numbers 13 and Joshua 14, Pastor Brandon unpacks the tension we all feel between God’s calling on our lives and the fear that tries to hold us back. He reminds us that every God-given dream comes with a cost, but obedience is always worth it. This message is both deeply personal and boldly challenging, inviting every person to ask a simple question: What is the mountain God is calling you to take? As Venture steps into a new season, this sermon calls us to faith, courage, obedience, and trust in the God who has already gone before us. 

We conclude our two-week marriage series *“Tighten the Knot”* with a powerful and practical message centered on *Ephesians 5:21* — “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” In this message, *Pastor Di* walks us through the biblical picture of *mutual submission* using the imagery of a **yoke**, showing how God designed marriage to be a partnership rooted in humility, teamwork, and shared direction toward Jesus. Drawing from Scripture, history, and real-life experience, this teaching addresses:God’s original design for marriageWhy submission is not about hierarchy or controlHow unity and teamwork lead to growth and purposeWhat mutual commitment looks like in real lifeGrace, healing, and hope for marriages and relationships at every stageWhether you’re married, single, engaged, or hoping to be married someday, this message offers biblical wisdom, encouragement, and a clear call to honor Jesus through the way we love and serve one another. --- ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction and series wrap-up 00:5

We’re kicking off a brand new two-week marriage and relationships series called “Tighten the Knot.” In this message, Pastor Sean King sets the foundation by addressing why relationships are often so difficult and how God’s original design offers a better way forward. Starting in Genesis, Pastor Sean walks us through God’s vision for relationships, how sin distorted that design, and why our choices matter. This message contrasts the pattern of the world with the biblical pattern for relationships, marriage, sexuality, and identity, reminding us that sanctification is a process God invites us into with grace and patience. Whether you’re married, single, dating, or hoping to be someday, this message offers biblical wisdom, practical truth, and hope for restoration. God’s design is not meant to shame us, but to lead us toward freedom, healing, and wholeness. We pray this message encourages and equips you as you pursue Christ-centered relationships. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:13 – Ope

As we move closer to Christmas, we often focus on traditions, celebrations, and familiar stories — but this message invites us to slow down and ask a deeper question: How do we respond to Christmas? In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through Luke 1:26–38, focusing on the story of Mary and her remarkable response to the announcement that she would be the mother of Jesus. Though she was young, confused, and faced with enormous uncertainty, Mary responded with courageous faith and heroic surrender. This message explores:What the Gospel message really isWhy Mary may be the first person to hear and believe the Good NewsThe difference between healthy doubt and unhealthy doubtWhy asking questions is part of authentic faithWhat it means to trust God when you don’t understandWhat surrender looks like in a culture that celebrates controlMary’s response reminds us that faith doesn’t mean having all the answers — it means trusting God even when obedience is costly. As Christmas approaches, this message challenges each

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon kicks off the Christmas season with a powerful message from Luke chapter 1, reminding us that Christmas is a story of waiting, trusting, and believing God is still at work — even when He seems silent. Through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Pastor Brandon walks us through what it looks like to remain faithful when prayers feel unanswered and promises feel delayed. For generations, God’s people waited for the Messiah, and in the middle of silence, God was still moving toward an appointed time. This message is for anyone who has ever wondered:Does God hear me?Does He still see me?Is He still working? Christmas reminds us that God is never late, He is never absent, and He always keeps His promises. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:15 – Pastor Brandon welcomes guests and upcoming Christmas events01:23 – Prayer to begin the service01:48 – Introduction to Luke chapter 102:22 – Christmas traditions and the tension of waiting03:49 – The childhood expe

This week at Venture, Pastor Morgan concluded our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful and deeply practical message from Ephesians 5–6 on what it means to build a Spirit-filled home. Paul teaches that the truest test of our spiritual maturity isn’t found on Sundays, in small groups, or in public — it’s found in our homes. Pastor Morgan unpacks how the Gospel should transform our marriages, our parenting, and even our work relationships. A Spirit-filled home is built on:• Mutual submission• Christlike love• Godly order• Every relationship submitted to Jesus From marriage roles to parenting with gentleness, to representing Christ in the workplace, this message challenges us to invite the Holy Spirit into the center of our homes and everyday relationships. If your home feels chaotic, heavy, or dry — there is hope. The same Spirit who fills us in worship can fill our homes with peace, unity, and transformation. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:06 – “Tell us where you're watchin

This week at Venture, we welcomed Pastor Jared Ming from Higher Vision Church as he continued our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Ephesians 5. Pastor Jared teaches what it means to “be imitators of God” — that following Jesus is not just about believing, but about becoming more like our Father. Through humor, personal stories, and deep biblical insight, he unpacks two life-changing truths: 1. Walk in Love Love isn’t just emotion — it’s action, sacrifice, generosity, and self-control. Jared shows how true love is expressed through giving, and how it also means restraining the desires and behaviors that lead us away from God. 2. Walk in the Light We are called to leave the darkness behind. Jared challenges us to disconnect from anything that keeps us from God’s best and to step fully into the light — through confession, truth, repentance, and following Jesus wholeheartedly. This message is practical, challenging, and full of moments that will help you grow closer to God and look mo

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon continues our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Ephesians 4 — a chapter filled with practical instructions for how believers should live as part of God’s family. Using the illustration of “family rules,” Pastor Brandon teaches that when we become followers of Jesus, we’re adopted into God’s household — and with that comes a new identity, a new way of living, and new expectations. We are no longer who we used to be. We represent Jesus. We represent our church. And the Gospel should transform the way we think, speak, work, and respond to others. From Paul’s call to “live a life worthy of your calling” to practical warnings against lying, anger, bitterness, unwholesome talk, and idleness, this message challenges us to live differently — because we are different. If you want to grow in spiritual maturity and understand what it means to truly reflect Christ in your daily life, this message will encourage and challenge you. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Onlin

This week at Venture, Don Ross continued our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful and challenging message from Ephesians chapter 4:1–16. Speaking into the heart of Paul’s words from prison, Don reminds us that unity is our calling — not uniformity, but a shared commitment to the mission of Christ. In a divided world, the church shines brightest when we walk in humility, gentleness, patience, and love. Don also unpacks the gifts of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, explaining how every believer is uniquely equipped to build up the body of Christ. We are not spectators — we are contributors. As each of us steps into obedience, the church grows stronger, healthier, and more unified. This message calls us to maturity, to bold faith, and to using our gifts for the sake of the Kingdom. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online00:21 – Don Ross opens the message00:43 – The early days of Venture: “It’ll never take… and here you are.”01:23 – Introduction to Don’s network role and ministry02:02
