This is the teaching podcast of Venture Church. Venture is focused on sharing the life shaping love of Jesus with people in Wilmington NC; helping them become God chasing, grace shaped, love agents.
Jesus set the example for what it means to live a life of putting others first. Living this way will change the world! (Apologies, the first several minutes of this week's message was not recorded. However, if you've seen the movie Finding Nemo, and understand how annoying seagulls can me... MINE, MINE, MINE... you'll be fine.) You can get the idea here.
This conclusion to our Romans series is a great wrap up to the broader theme of UNITY found throughout the book. What happens when two believers don't agree on something they each find important? We dig through the final 3 chapters of Romans and even have a surprise ending from friends who still think of Venture Church as family.
Romans chapter 8-9 and learning what it means to live a life governed by the Spirit.
Faith. What is it? Why do we need it? How can we get it? This week we dig into Romans chapters 3, 4, and 5 to learn more about this majorly important component of the gospel.
The book of Romans is the most complete explanation of the gospel that we have in the Bible. It's like an instruction manual for why it works, how it works, and who it's for. This is week one of a series exploring the gears of the gospel as seen through the book of Romans. In this first week, we'll be in chapters 1 and 2 and learn the answer to question zero, "Why?"
As we conclude this 5 week teaching through the whole Bible, we spend time in one of the most misunderstood books in the Bible. The book of Revelation. When studying the book of Revelation, it's easy to get lost or confused. So, it's our goal to see the big picture of what God was teaching when he shared this vision with the Apostle John. It's a super encouraging message about the power of God and the role of Jesus in it all!
In Week four of our series, we look at the letters written to the church. What does it mean for YOU to find your place in the mission? Let's open the Bible and find out!
This week, Patrick Harrison shares part four of our series "Let's Open The Bible." We've crossed over into the New Testament and are looking at the foundational message of the church... the Gospel. It's more than just good news. It's the kingdom of God!
This week we take a look at the ENTIRE OLD TESTAMENT in one message. It's truly the story of a journey that began with a promise and showed God's unchanging faithfulness through generations and generations.
This will be a 5 week series through the entire Bible. Today... it's beginnings.
In this final week of the Grass is Greener series we look at one of the hardest times to find contentment... when we're beaten, loose, and experience pain and suffering. What then? Let's talk about that!
Each year we set aside a Sunday to partner with Compassion International by raising awareness of the need for child sponsorships and of children living in extreme poverty and to give our people an opportunity to sponsor a child. Compassion is one of God's greatest attributes and should be the mark of a Jesus follower. Today we study Colossians chapter 3 and dive into what it looks like to have the compassion of Jesus transform your life.
