Run our plays | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

What does it look like for a church to step into a new season with clarity and purpose?On Vision Sunday, Pastor Brandon shares three simple plays that have shaped Venture Church for years and that he believes will continue to move the mission forward: everyone invites, everyone serves, and everyone abides.Using John 15, Pastor Brandon challenges us to live fruitful lives by staying connected to Jesus, serving one another, and intentionally inviting people into the life of the Church. This message is a reminder that the mission does not move forward because of a few people doing everything. It moves forward when every person finds their place and plays their part.As Venture steps into a new season, the vision is simple: keep running the plays that work, keep pursuing Jesus, and keep making Him famous.Timestamps0:00 Welcome
