Who you want to be is a result of the decisions you make each day. We call them: habits. As we’ve turned the page for a new decade…We’re going to get real practical on how small things can lead into bigger impact.

Today we're getting real practical...talking about getting the Bible to those who don't have it available in their heart language...including those that are hearing impaired or deaf.

First, our own Lynn Feldman shares about her ministry of ASL to those in the deaf community.

We’re using some of the good work from James Clear and his book Atomic Habits to direct our thinking in this series.

Uniting around a singular purpose...let's discover what it means to be a church.  Matt Skolnik shares some thoughts on what it means to be the church in our community as we begin a new decade (for Linden its our 201st year!).  

Looking at how Jesus did ministry as he walked the earth.

Matt is the General Presbyter of the Muskingum Valley Presbytery.  

Its almost a new year...and that usually is a time were we begin to think about new goals for the months ahead.  But, sometimes what's most important does get to be the first thing we focus on.

Borrowing a phrase from Peter Drucker we'll look at what things need to be first.  The message will offer four practical suggestions on how to prioritize the year ahead.

We all play a part in the incredible story of CHRISTmas!  During this season of Advent we are going to look to the cast of characters God gathered together, touched, and transformed through the first Christmas.

The anticipation of the prophets, the joyful proclamation of the angels, the journey of the shepherds and wise men to honor Jesus, and how all of this fits in with how we prepare and celebrate for Christmas now.

On this CHRISTmas Eve we will look seeing what role we, today in 2019 play.  Merry CHRISTmas!

The Magi or wiseman journeyed to Bethlehem to bring their worship and adoration.  They got it right, Herod and the religious leaders of the day, missed it.  We celebrated with a number of choral pieces to help focus our worship...and then pondered a few thoughts about what the Magi did...a model for us today.

This first week we will look to  what preparation and expectation the Old Testament Prophets had and and see what things we can find to help in our our journey to CHRISTmas this year. 

Much like the early church we read about in the Bible, we believe whole-life generosity is the way God designed His church to operate.

n this series we're going to look at generosity as a way of life. 

In week 1, we're going to consider the question: What if we were generous just for the fun of it?

The big truth this week is this: Generosity is not about what I have it's about how I think.

Note:  We're using the book I Like Giving by Brad Formosa.

God works miracles through those who obey, though often times our nature rebels against Him.

Regardless of which path we choose-obedience or rebellion- God is the God of second chances.

Few stories illustrate this principle more clearly than the story of Jonah.

In this 3rd installment, Jonah gets a second chance and takes God's message to the Ninevhites and amazing things happen.  But we see that sometimes the problem of being faithful finds its cause in our own stubbornness to trust God.
