Venture Church

This week we have one of our elders, Brandon, speak for our teaching time. He is passionate about sharing the gospel in the workplace and shining light in dark places. He continues in our series walk the walk with the topic of faithfulness.

Jesus calls himself the vine and the Church his branches. This theme coincides with Walk the Walk because as we need to keep in step with the Spirit of God, likewise we need to stay in the vine. If you are feeling burnt out or lost in direction tune in this week to hear some practical wisdom on finding strength in Jesus, the vine. 

As you continue to "Walk the Walk" or find your footing too, here is a teaching that is pertinent to your faith and foundation of who God is to His people. The Holy Spirit is the lifeblood of Christians in our day to day lives. You don't want to miss this week as we learn who the Holy Spirit is and why this is the essential teaching of this whole series.

As we continue in the fruit of the Spirit, we talk about the fourth part of the fruit which is patience. We all have experienced patience or a lack of it in stressful times. Being a fruit of God's Spirit, patience is something we need the Lord's help with. If you need patience or a boost of faith, tune in this week to discover patience through faith in Christ.

This week we have a fantastic guest speaker teach this morning. Patrick has spoken many times at Venture and his placement for this Sunday couldn't have been more perfect. He brings a fresh perspective on peace and reveals truths about what God's word says about what it is and how to achieve it through Jesus. If you are one that needs to feel rest and relief from stress then you need to tune in to this talk. 

What makes you happy? Think about that for a second. In this series "Walk The Walk" we are going through the fruit of the Spirit and what it means to walk with the Spirit. As we talk about joy this week, the biggest misconception is the difference between joy and happiness biblically. If you feel that something is missing in life, tune in to this episode to find how you can find everlasting joy.

If you're going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk. Paul in the book of Galatians writes to the church in Galatia about walking in the Spirit. Over the next nine weeks, we will be walking through the fruit of the Holy Spirit and how important that is in our daily lives.

Jesus is the ultimate wilderness man. Today we dive into one of The hardest moments in His life when He was led into the wilderness for 40 days by the Holy Spirit. It is a powerful story that you don't want to miss.  

The part of Elijah's story that we dive into today is breathtaking. God flexes His muscles by showing up in power through Elijah's obedience to God. There is an incredible lesson to learn from Elijah's story and how dangerous God can be about His truth. 

Today we dive into the story of a man with superhuman strength. Seriously. This story even has a movie made after it that was released earlier this year. Though Samson's life is not a clear representation of how we should live, we can still glean spiritual truth's from his testimony and experiences that the Holy Spirit wants us to learn.
