This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon kicks off our journey through the book of Ephesians, reminding us that the life we have in Christ is one of incredible blessing, identity, and purpose. Through the story of Hetty Green, a woman who lived in poverty despite her great wealth, we’re challenged to stop living spiritually empty when we’ve already been given everything through Jesus. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians shows us what it means to be chosen, redeemed, and adopted as God’s sons and daughters. It’s a call to live fully in the richness of God’s grace. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online 0:34 – Hetty Green: The richest miser 3:18 – Wealth and living like we’re poor 3:47 – Introducing the book of Ephesians 6:07 – Paul’s story and why he matters 9:24 – Why Ephesus was such a big deal 14:10 – Ephesians: deep theology and daily application 20:28 – “In Christ” — the most important word 23:19 – Benefit 1: Redemption 25:59 – Benefit 2: Chosen by God 34:24 – Benefit 3: Adopted into His family 36:56 – Living like sons and daughters 37:57 – Invitation to follow Jesus 40:31 – Prayer and response
