What if you REALLY Believed God Loves You? | Pastor Di Beals | Venture Church
This week at Venture, Pastor Di continues our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from chapter 3 — a reminder of just how deeply God loves us. Paul writes from prison, yet his perspective is full of purpose. Even in chains, he sees his suffering as a platform to share the Gospel. Through this chapter, Pastor Di challenges us to see life through that same lens — to believe we are loved and chosen, to walk confidently in God’s presence, and to be transformed by His passion for us. If we truly understood how much God loves us, it would change everything. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online 00:12 – Honoring our Veterans 00:49 – Pastor Di introduces Journey Through Ephesians 01:10 – The city of Ephesus and historical background 02:15 – Review of Ephesians 1 & 2 03:27 – Unity in salvation through Christ 03:53 – Introduction to Ephesians 3 — the bridge between identity and action 04:40 – Who God says we are: loved, chosen, free, forgiven 05:36 – What if you really believed God loves you? 06:10 – Opening prayer 07:14 – Paul’s perspective from prison 08:56 – God’s mysterious plan revealed 10:45 – Finding purpose in hardship 12:07 – Paul’s suffering and the spread of the Gospel 13:12 – Turning captivity into calling 15:46 – Seeing trials through the lens of God’s love 16:19 – Our position: Bold and confident access to God 17:36 – No need to earn His favor — we’re already accepted 18:34 – Understanding transforms head knowledge into heart change 19:20 – The Passion of Christ — the ultimate expression of love 21:56 – From knowing God’s love to being transformed by it
