Outside looking In | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church
This Sunday we celebrated Venture Church’s 21st birthday and continued our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from Pastor Brandon Beals.
In Ephesians chapter 2, Paul reminds us that through Jesus, the walls that once divided us are torn down. What once separated Jews and Gentiles — insiders and outsiders — has been destroyed by the cross. We are now one family, one body, and one church united by grace.
Pastor Brandon teaches how grace brings unity, how division is the enemy’s oldest tactic, and why the cross is what holds us — and the church — together.
