Venir = to come
¿Puedes venir a mi casa? - Can you come to my house?
Llegar = to arrive
Voy a llegar a las siete - I'm going to arrive at 6
Venga = come, present subjunctive in the 3rd person
Quiero que venga María a mi casa - I want María to come to my house
Make sense?

Many examples can be found in the dictionary (located at the top of this page).
Venir = to come
Llegar = to arrive
Venga = venir in the subjunctive mood, also formal command

Venga is also used as an interjection. Formally, it is the subjunctive mood; and therefore the formal command, but is also used to say "come on" in Spain.
It's not uncommon to hear "Ven. Venga." meaning "Come. (tú) Come on."
