Venture Christian Church Weekend Messages

In this message from October 25th, 2026, Tim Lundy continues our Colossians series with Part 7, "Becoming Who You Are in Christ," from Colossians 3:1–17. Our position in Christ is the foundation for how we live. Tim walks through our position in Christ, our daily practice in Christ, and what Christ produces in us: putting to death the old life, putting on his character, and living out the daily commands to bear with, forgive, and love one another.

You become more like Jesus as you learn to live out what is already true of you in Him.

In this message from October 18th, 2026, Chuck Eastman continues our Colossians series with Part 6, "Freedom from Empty Religion," from Colossians 2:16–23. Legalism and spiritualism both offer a status and belonging that depend on us. Chuck walks through the impact of legalism, the trap of spiritualism, and the centrality of Christ: Christian growth is measured by how connected we stay to Christ and his people, not by the rules we keep or the experiences we chase.

If our efforts could have bridged the gap between our sin and God's righteousness, then there would be no need for the cross.

In this message from October 11th, 2026, Paul Baldwin continues our Colossians series with Part 5, "Alive and Complete in Christ," from Colossians 2:8–15. Our problem isn't that we're bad and need to get better; it's that we're dead and need life. Paul gives a word of caution about the promises that claim to complete us, a truth to hold on to (in Jesus you are already complete), and a reality that changes everything: dead to alive, guilty to forgiven, in debt to paid in full, captive to free.

Jesus didn't come to make you better. He came to give you life.

In this message from October 4th, 2026, Tim Lundy continues our Colossians series with Part 4, "When Christ Is Enough," from Colossians 2:1–7. Tim walks through what it looks like to be connected, convinced, and committed: our faith is deeply personal but never meant to be private, maturity means becoming more convinced that Jesus is all we need instead of chasing the newest idea, and the Gospel isn't just where life in Christ starts but the pattern for all of it.

The grace that saves me is the grace that sustains me.
