Cuyahoga Valley Church Sunday Sermons (Broadview)

Lead Pastor Joe Valenti shows that Third John’s core message is this: true church membership isn’t a name on a roll but a lifestyle marked by four traits—walking in Christ’s truth, sacrificially supporting gospel workers, rejecting pride-fueled division under godly leadership, and cultivating a reputable, love-filled witness. He urges us to embrace membership’s accountability so our faith moves beyond mere words into daily obedienc...

Elder Kyle Gustafson highlights 2 John’s core message: our unity as Christians rests on embracing Jesus as the eternal “truth” and living out His love together.

Tony reminds us that though our outer lives can feel like a mis-assembled playground—frustrating, broken, and ready to quit—our inner hope in Christ is unshakable, renewed daily by the Spirit, and shaped through every trial.

When we fix our gaze on the unseen, everlasting glory r...

Pastor Joe continues our Life on Purpose series by teaching from 2 Corinthians 8:1–9.

This week Rick Duncan preaches about how life's dizzying challenges—illustrated by a wild teacup ride at Disney—mirror the instability many experience in a fallen world, yet amidst the chaos, Jesus remains the unchanging foundation of hope. He draws on his own experience of physical disorientation to emphasize that while the world spins with failures, toxic relationships, and uncertainty, the immutable nature of Christ provide...

This week Send Director Tony Scialabba preaches about how his role is to mobilize the church to serve both within its community and beyond, sharing his journey from living among an unreached people group overseas to joining the ministry at CDC.

What does it take to finish the race well? This week, we explore Hebrews 12:18-29 and discover three ways to press forward in faith. We are called to run in grace, leaving behind old patterns that can’t save us. We must run in faith, standing firm in what is eternal. And we should run with gratitude, worshiping God with awe and reverence.

Don’t settle for what’s familiar—keep running toward Jesus.
