Venture Church

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:

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...

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...

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...

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...

This week at Venture, Pastor Di continues our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from chapter 3 — a reminder of just how deeply God loves us. Paul writes from prison, yet his perspective is full of purpose. Even in chains, he sees his suffering as a platform to share the Gospel. Through this chapter, Pastor Di challenges us to see life through that same lens — to believe we are loved and chosen, to walk confidently in God’s presence, and to be transformed by His passion for us. If we truly understood how much God loves us, it would change...

This Sunday we celebrated Venture Church’s 21st birthday and continued our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Pastor Brandon Beals. In Ephesians chapter 2, Paul reminds us that through Jesus, the walls that once divided us are torn down. What once separated Jews and Gentiles — insiders and outsiders — has been destroyed by the cross. We are now one family, one body, and one church united by grace. Pastor Brandon teaches how grace brings unity, how division is the enemy’s oldest tactic, and why the cross is what holds us — and the church — together.

This week, Pastor Brandon continues our Journey Through Ephesians series with one of the most powerful chapters in Scripture — Ephesians 2. Before Christ, we were spiritually dead, slaves to the world, the enemy, and our own flesh. But Paul reminds us that everything changes with two words: “But God.” Through His mercy and grace, we’ve been raised to life, set free, and created for good works that He prepared for us in advance. This message is a reminder that salvation isn’t the end — it’s the beginning. We were dead, but now we are alive in Christ! ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome to Venture Church On...

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon kicks off our journey through the book of Ephesians, reminding us that the life we have in Christ is one of incredible blessing, identity, and purpose. Through the story of Hetty Green, a woman who lived in poverty despite her great wealth, we’re challenged to stop living spiritually empty when we’ve already been given everything through Jesus. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians shows us what it means to be chosen, redeemed, and adopted as God’s sons and daughters. It’s a call to live fully in the richness of God’s grace. ⏱️...

This week at Venture, Pastor Di continued our Break Free series with a powerful and practical message on closing the doors we’ve left open to the enemy. Through Scripture, personal stories, and clear teaching, Pastor Di showed us how sin, unchecked heart issues, compromise, and unresolved trauma can open doors that give the enemy access to our lives. But the good news is this: those doors can be shut through the power of Jesus. Using the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4, Pastor Di reminded us that sin is crouching at the door, waiting to pounce but in Ch...

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon continued our Break Free series with a powerful message on overcoming the stronghold of shame. Shame has a way of paralyzing us—keeping us stuck in regret, guilt, and fear of what others think. But the good news of the gospel is this: in Christ, we are forgiven, washed, sanctified, and justified. Through passages in Isaiah, Joel, John 8, and 1 Corinthians 6, Pastor Brandon showed us how Jesus takes our shame upon Himself, restores what was lost, and declares us innocent before God. The story of the woman caught in adultery reminds us that where the wo...

This week Pastor Brandon continues our Break Free series by tackling one of the most destructive strongholds—hidden sin. Through the story of Achan in Joshua 7, we see how sin that is kept secret not only destroys us from the inside out, but also impacts those around us. Hidden sin multiplies, it robs us of peace, and it eventually always comes to light. But the good news is that God has given us a way to break free through confession, repentance, and accountability. Pastor Brandon reminds us that what is uncovered and surrendered to Jesus becomes an opportunity for His gr...

This week Pastor Brandon continues our new series Break Free with a powerful message on overcoming strongholds. Strongholds are real. They can hold our thoughts captive, distort how we see ourselves, and keep us chained in fear and sin. But the good news of the gospel is that we are not powerless. The Spirit of Christ lives in us, and that means we have the spirit of a fighter inside of us. Through Ephesians 6 and the armor of God, we’re reminded that God has equipped us with everything we need to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes:

This week Pastor Christian wraps up our Family Matters series by talking about one of Venture’s core values: Generosity. Generosity isn’t about guilt or pressure—it’s about hearts transformed by the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught that where we put our treasure, our hearts will follow. In this message we explore how generosity with our time, resources, and lives reveals what we love, reshapes our hearts, and builds God’s kingdom for generations to come.

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon shared the heart behind our Fall Vision Sunday. Together we reflected on God’s call to build His house, the value of community, and the legacy we’re leaving for generations to come. Through 1 Chronicles 28–29, we looked at how King David prepared for the temple that he would never see completed in his lifetime—and how his willingness to sacrifice set up a future of worship and transformation for his children, grandchildren, and beyond. This message challenges us to step into the same kind of faith and sacrifice today as we finish building Venture’s house—no...

This Sunday, Pastor Brandon reminded us that God places people in our lives for different purposes—sometimes for a reason, sometimes for a season, and sometimes for a lifetime. No matter the length, every relationship has value, and we were created to live life in community not alone. At Venture, we believe church isn’t just a service you attend—it’s a chosen family you belong to. Whether you’re here for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, you matter. You’re seen. You’re loved.

In this message from our God Problems series, Pastor Morgan tackles the big question: What does the future hold for me? Through the story of Abraham in Genesis 12, we explore how God often calls us into the unknown, gives us purpose in the present, and invites us to live with an eternal perspective. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, walking through transition, or just wondering where God is leading you next, this message will encourage you to trust His character even when you can’t see the whole picture.

“Christianity isn’t about us reaching for God. It’s about God reaching for us.” 
This Sunday’s message reminded us what sets Jesus apart—and why it still matters.

This week at Venture Church, Pastor Brandon kicks off our new series “God Problems” by tackling one of the most honest and foundational questions in faith: 👉 What does God actually want from me? Through personal stories, Scripture, and practical insights, Pastor Brandon reminds us that God’s greatest desire isn’t about perfection—it’s about love. 💛 Love God with everything you are. 💛 Love the people He loves—even when it’s hard. And one of the most practical ways we live that out? Serving. Whether you're wrestling with big spiritual questions, exploring your faith, or wondering if you're being called to serve or lead—t

This Sunday at Venture Church, Pastor Sean King closed out our Fruit of the Spirit series with a powerful, surprising, and convicting message on Gentleness—a fruit often misunderstood but deeply needed. Through humor, storytelling, and Scripture, we learned that biblical gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. It’s the kind of strength that looks like a tamed stallion, a powerful God stooping low, or a parent gently holding their child. 💡 Key Takeaways: Gentleness is a character trait of God and of Jesus Gentleness looks like calmness in conflict, kindness in response, humility in disagreement Strength under control has t...

This week at Venture Church, Pastor Christian Lembeck brings a powerful and personal message on Goodness, part of our Fruit of the Spirit series. What does it really mean to be good—and why is goodness even something we desire?
This message reminds us that goodness isn’t just behavior—it’s a Spirit-empowered alignment with God’s heart. It’s moral courage. It’s strength to choose what’s right, even when it’s costly. And it’s a gift we must open and embody to experience the life Jesus has offered.

This Sunday, Pastor Di brought a raw and powerful message on one of the most overlooked but essential fruits of the Spirit: Faithfulness. In a culture of convenience, quitting, and conditional loyalty, we’re reminded that Spirit-produced faithfulness isn’t about feelings or fairness—it’s a steady, stubborn commitment that mirrors the unshakable faithfulness of God. Through the story of Hosea, we see God's heart for His people—even in their unfaithfulness—and are challenged to reflect that same faithful love in our relationships, our commitments, and our walk with Christ.

This Father’s Day at Venture Church, Pastor Morgan continues our Fruit of the Spirit series with a powerful message on Kindness—what it really is, and why it’s far more than just being “nice.” In a culture that often substitutes niceness for true spiritual kindness, we’re reminded that real kindness is courageous, inconvenient, and often uncomfortable. It’s God’s strength in action, not a weakness to hide behind. And it’s not a one-time act—it’s a consistent lifestyle that reflects the heart of Jesus.

In this week's message, Pastor Brandon continues our Fruit of the Spirit series with a powerful and honest teaching on one of the hardest virtues to live out—Patience. From the story of a boy planting a mango seed to reflections on real-life frustrations, this message brings biblical truth and relatable humor together to show us what patience truly means. We learn that patience isn't passive—it's active trust in God through waiting, enduring, and loving others the way Jesus loves us.

This Sunday at Venture Church, we continued our Fruit of the Spirit series with a powerful and timely message on Peace—what it is, where it comes from, and why the world can’t give it. 📖 Main Scripture: Galatians 5:22-25
🕊️ Theme: True peace isn’t found in ourselves, our circumstances, or the world—it’s found in Jesus.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
There’s a difference between subjective peace (based on feelings) and objective peace (rooted in Christ).You were never meant to strive for peace alone—peace is a gift from Jesus.A Spirit-filled life produces lasting peace, even in the middle of cha...

This week, guest speaker Marty Solomon takes us on a deep and compelling journey through the creation story, asking: What does it really mean to be made in the image of God? By exploring the original Hebrew and Jewish Midrash, Marty uncovers the profound distinction between being a creature of desire and being a Spirit-filled image-bearer of God. With insight, humor, and depth, we’re reminded that: 💨 God breathed His ruah (Spirit, breath, wind) into us 

This message calls us not just to knowledge, but to transformation: to walk by the Spirit and not by our cravings, and to liv...

This week at our Mill Creek campus, Pastor Morgan continues our From Ephesus series with a powerful message on the fruit of the Spirit—starting with love. More than just a feeling, biblical love is a Spirit-fueled command that transforms how we live, lead, and interact with the world around us. Through Scripture, stories, and heartfelt moments, we’re reminded that without love, we have nothing—but with it, we become unstoppable in Christ.

Whether you're new or part of our family, we pray this message blesses you deeply. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe for more weekly...
