    Unlock Your Gifts | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

    How do we position ourselves to receive more of the Holy Spirit? In Part 3 of our More series, Pastor Brandon teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 and unpacks two key areas that often keep people from experiencing everything God has for them. From understanding biblical generosity to overcoming misconceptions about spiritual gifts, this message challenges us to pursue God above experiences and to discover the unique gifts He has placed within each of us for the good of the Church. No matter your background or previous experiences, God has more for you.

    What Changed? | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

    What changed Peter from a man who denied Jesus to the bold leader who preached the gospel to thousands?In week two of our More series, Pastor Brandon explores one of the greatest transformations in Scripture. Peter was impulsive, inconsistent, and often his own worst enemy. Yet just weeks after denying Jesus, he stood before thousands in Jerusalem and boldly proclaimed the gospel. What happened?The answer is the Holy Spirit.Walking through Matthew 16 and Acts 2, Pastor Brandon shows how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary people with boldness, purpose, and supernatural strength. The same promise that transformed Peter is still available today. If you've ever wondered whether God can use you, this message is a reminder that the Holy Spirit changes everything.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope today.Be sure to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a message from Venture Church.Timestamps0:00 – Welcome and Prayer 3:44 – Summer Service Update and Staff Transitions 5:17 – Welcoming Pastor Tyrone and Amy Rin 6:31 – Summer Service Times Reminder 7:20 – What Changed Peter? 10:08 – Peter Declares Jesus as the Messiah 11:46 – "On This Rock I Will Build My Church" 13:12 – Peter's Potential 14:17 – Peter Rebukes Jesus 16:22 – "Get Behind Me, Satan" 17:24 – Peter Denies Jesus Three Times 22:58 – Fifty Days Later 23:27 – Understanding Pentecost 26:56 – Peter's Incredible Transformation 28:14 – Peter's First Sermon 30:31 – "You Crucified Him" 32:26 – Cut to the Heart 34:49 – Peter's First Altar Call 35:23 – The Holy Spirit Changed Everything 36:25 – The Promise Is for You 37:37 – What the Holy Spirit Produces 38:02 – Unction and Boldness 38:35 – Living with God's Anointing 40:03 – If There's More of God, I Want More 40:41 – Three Thousand Saved 41:41 – Receiving More of the Holy Spirit 42:46 – A Prayer for More 45:03 – What's Next and Kingdom Builders 46:28 – Why Summer Camp Matters 47:41 – God Inhabits the Praises of His People 48:38 – Revival Night and Closing Announcements

    Becoming a Friend of Jesus | Pastor Dick Brogden | Revival Sunday Venture Church

    What does it mean to be a friend of Jesus? In this Revival Sunday message, Pastor Dick Brogden challenges us to see missions not just as something the church supports, but as a response to friendship with Jesus. Teaching from John 15, Pastor Dick reminds us that Jesus has called us His friends, trusted us with His mission, and invited us to participate in bringing the gospel to the nations. With billions of people still unreached and thousands of people groups with little or no access to the gospel, the call of God is still urgent. This message unpacks what it means to give friendship back to Jesus by encouraging Him, defending Him, standing with Him, sharing His heart, and stewarding the trust He has placed in us. Pastor Dick also reminds us that God does not need perfect people to accomplish His mission. He uses weak, willing, Spirit-filled people who spend time with Jesus, humble themselves in prayer, and say yes to His call. Whether you are called to go, give, pray, support, or take a first step toward missions, this message is a powerful reminder that Jesus is worthy of our whole lives. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that God can use them to make Jesus known.

    Chasing Direction | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

    What do you do when life feels uncertain, stressful, or completely out of your control? In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our **Chasing Purpose** series by teaching through Proverbs 3 and one of the most well-known promises in Scripture: **“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.”** Pastor Brandon reminds us that life often brings seasons we cannot control. Jobs change, finances get tight, people move, the economy shifts, and the world can feel unstable. But in the middle of uncertainty, God invites us to trust Him fully. This message unpacks what it actually means to trust God: learning His truth, obeying His will, sharing in His blessings, and submitting to His correction. When we choose God’s wisdom over our own understanding, He brings health, peace, direction, and nourishment to our lives. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs a reminder to hold tightly to Jesus and trust Him in every season.

    What does it actually mean to fear the Lord?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our Chasing Purpose series as we move from Ecclesiastes into the book of Proverbs. Solomon begins Proverbs by teaching that wisdom starts with one foundational truth: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”But fear of the Lord does not mean being scared of God. For followers of Jesus, it means living with reverence, awe, humility, and deep respect for who God is. It means choosing God’s wisdom over our own understanding, listening to His voice above the opinions of the world, and allowing His Word to shape the way we live.Pastor Brandon reminds us that there are always two voices competing for our attention: wisdom and foolishness, God’s way and our own way. True wisdom begins when we surrender our plans, trust God’s direction, and live with reverence for the One who created us, loves us, and will never leave us.This message also includes a powerful time of communion and a Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project update.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs wisdom and direction this week.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.Timestamps0:00 – YouTube Welcome from Pastor Brandon 0:18 – Welcome to Venture Church 1:25 – Introducing Proverbs 1:52 – Proverbs of Solomon 3:03 – The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Knowledge 3:35 – How to Read the Bible 5:02 – Reading a Proverb a Day 5:27 – The Main Theme of Proverbs 6:00 – Proverbs as Wisdom Literature 7:27 – What Wisdom Means 8:01 – Wisdom and Folly 8:55 – Two Voices Competing for Your Attention 9:28 – God’s Plan vs. Our Plan 10:15 – Everyone Has an Opinion 11:44 – Wisdom and Folly in Everyday Life 12:17 – Real Questions People Are Asking Right Now 13:49 – Unlocking Wisdom in Proverbs 14:26 – God’s Plan vs. My Plan 15:23 – The Way of a Fool Seems Right 16:32 – When Feelings Lead Us the Wrong Way 17:54 – What Does “Fear of the Lord” Mean? 19:25 – Fear of God Without Jesus 20:10 – The Journey of Following Jesus 20:35 – Fear of God as Reverence 21:05 – Worshiping God with Reverence and Awe 21:44 – Respectful Fear of God 22:48 – A Child’s Reverence for Their Parents 24:15 – Reverential Respect 25:03 – God Is the Creator, We Are His Creation 25:56 – Reverence, Obedience, and Fellowship with God 26:09 – True Wisdom Comes from Knowing Who God Is 27:09 – Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love 28:44 – God Will Never Leave or Forsake Us 29:12 – Fear of the Lord Shapes How We Live 30:25 – Fear of God Drives Out Fear of Man 30:58 – Obedience Leads to Deeper Relationship 31:06 – Communion Moment 32:27 – Reflecting and Remembering 33:52 – Making Things Right with Jesus 35:22 – Remembering What Jesus Has Done 36:01 – Receiving the Bread 36:42 – The Cup and the Blood of Jesus 37:52 – Invitation to Begin a Relationship with Jesus 39:17 – Salvation Prayer 40:10 – Receiving the Cup 40:13 – Worship Response 45:15 – Kingdom Builders Light Bearers Project Update 45:36 – Mike and Kayla Anderson Share 46:18 – Why Kids Ministry Matters 47:17 – Ways to Participate in Light Bearers 48:24 – Invitation to Give 48:43 – What’s Next Resource 49:03 – YouTube Outro

    Grad Sunday Message | Pastor Johnny White | Venture Church

    DescriptionWhat if purpose is not something waiting for you at the end of the journey, but something God wants you to discover in the middle of it?In this message, Pastor Johny wraps up the Ecclesiastes portion of our Chasing Purpose series by looking at what Solomon teaches us about life, mortality, wisdom, difficulty, and fulfillment.Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is temporary, that more will never truly satisfy, and that the things we chase apart from God will always leave us empty. But even in a world that feels uncertain, unfair, and difficult to understand, God is still present. He is with us in joy and in grief, in prosperity and in adversity, in the questions we can answer and the mysteries we cannot.Pastor Johny reminds us that difficulty can shape us, that we can trust God when life feels unfair, and that we do not need to fully understand the future in order to faithfully walk with God into it.Purpose is not just found at the finish line. Purpose is found in the midst.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs a reminder that God sees them, loves them, and has purpose for their life right where they are.Make sure to like and subscribe to stay up to date with weekly messages from Venture Church.
