We\'re incredibly grateful for church planter Jeff Bodziony of Forward Church. On Easter, he blessed us with his presence by performing of spoken word at this year\'s Easter services. Here\'s what he shared with us: And in that morning, in all Your glory, You rose up to tell the story, Of a love that You…
by Matt Hammes, guest blogger My best man and I used to meet once a month to review what we called the ‘pillars’ of our lives, which another great friend and I later coined “Solid Foundations.” These are seven areas that intertwine and we felt needed to be invested in to build a sound, holistic…
By Amber Hejl, Sevenoseven Women\'s Director Last month we gathered for Seek Night on Ash Wednesday. The night before, I had the terrible realization that if I was going to fast for something during Lent, I better decide within the next 24 hours. Often that approach leads to my hastily made commitments to give up sweets…
Because we know the importance of families worshiping together, we will have family worship services at CVC on the fifth Sundays of each quarter beginning on March 29th. We will have opportunity for you to teach your children about Baptism and Communion as we make them available during future family services. You are the primary and most influential spiritual influence in your child’s life.
Recently, a friend shared in a meeting about their miscarriage and how they struggled with God afterwards. Almost in passing, I mentioned how wonderful the gospel is because as a result of the death and resurrection of Jesus and His promise of eternal life there will be a great reunion one day between mothers and their…
by Bobby Keys, CVCYouth Intern Any look into a study of what a servant is should end and begin with Jesus Christ. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down…
I was recently talking with a church planter who is struggling because of major issues with a child. The struggle has caused him to be off-balance in his relationship with God. His theology of suffering is sound. He\'s read the right books, like Disappointment with God by Philip Yancey. He\'s preached from Job and through…
By Leigh-Ann Brisbin The good news is God never stops pursuing us to show us His truth. In Genesis 3:8 the man and woman hid and were ashamed of their nakedness. Later, God calls out to them, “Where are you? and Who told you that you were naked?” We know by the glory of God that…
By Leigh-Ann Brisbin, Women\'s Director Whose voice are you listening to? “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid and God said, Who told you that you were naked?” Genesis 3:10-11 Have you ever stopped to think about the million voices in your head each day, or at…
Why participate in New Life 10|24? The short answer? Because Jesus is the only way. Jesus Himself says so in John 14:6. Jesus taught that there is a real heaven and a real hell. Everyone we know, love, and care about will spend eternity in one place or the other (Matthew 25:34, 46; Hebrews 9:27).…
by Greta Smith, Administrative Assistant of Community Life In case you haven’t noticed, the winter is looking long….and snowy…..and cold…..and snowy. What to do now? The holidays are behind us, the decorations are packed away, the New Year’s resolutions are already yesterday’s news, and maybe your favorite team didn’t win the Super Bowl (did anyone…
At Cuyahoga Valley Church, we encourage our people to be Self–feeders. We offer an annual Bible Reading Plan so that the attenders and members can work their way through the Scriptures over the course of the year. This often means that our people will encounter Bible passages that are difficult to understand. Sometimes, people send…
