Joseph’s Silence

2022-01-12T20:22:32-08:00

If you were going to write a play based on the Christmas story you would notice that Mary would have a lot of lines, but Joseph wouldn’t have any. In fact, when you read through the gospels and look at the whole Christmas story, none of his words are written down. Joseph is completely silent. Since we can’t read his words, what can we learn from his actions? Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the [...]

Grateful in 2022

2022-01-12T20:24:06-08:00

In 2021, Big Valley Christian School was able to provide 900 students (grades Preschool — 12th grade) with a Christian education, preparing them spiritually and academically to impact the world for Christ. We would not be able to carry out this critical work without our great staff, great families, and wonderful support from Big Valley Grace and the community. The last two years have been challenging, yet there is much to give thanks for! Here are just a few highlights from 2021: BVCS opened the 2021-2022 school year (in person) with 900 students - up from 740 in 2020-2021. We employ [...]

Making History, Even When It’s Hard

2021-01-11T07:54:51-08:00

March 2020 was a pivotal time in Big Valley Christian School’s history. Our team to make a choice: we could put our heads down in fear and defeat or dust ourselves off, lift our heads high, follow the Lord’s plan and make this moment in history our finest hour. Countless ups and downs, twists and turns, state and county mandates, recommendations, guidance documents, protocols, tiers, distance learning day camp, waivers, health checks and Zoom meetings have kept us all busy over the last 10 months, to say the least. It certainly hasn’t been easy, but it has been completely worth it. [...]

Celebrating God’s Faithfulness

2021-01-04T09:30:22-08:00

How many of you can agree that March 2020 seems like a lifetime ago? As two weeks of closure quickly became the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, our staff  jumped into action to provide educational and spiritual distance learning options for our Big Valley Christian School community.  Countless ups and downs, twists and turns, state and county mandates, recommendations, guidance documents, protocols, tiers and meetings kept us busy, to say the least.  By far the question I’ve been asked the most since August is: How did Big Valley Christian School open on campus on August 12, 2020 in the middle [...]

Praying Like Jesus

2020-03-03T10:53:25-08:00

  How Jesus Prayed The picture above is from the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus prayed before he was arrested. In the garden, a place that should represent peace and tranquility, Jesus poured out his heart in sorrow and anguish. In Matthew 26:39 Jesus prayed, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." We see Jesus praying a short prayer, but also a profound one. His prayer shows the reality of what he felt in his situation, but also his complete surrender to the greater purposes of God. [...]

Be – Message from Pastor Scott

2019-10-23T10:52:12-07:00

How do your help your child be real? Someone once told me that you should always say exactly what you think and feel, but that you shouldn't always say everything you think and feel. Let's face it... Junior High is hard! It's a time when feelings seem more important than facts and everyday can feel like an emotional roller-coaster. We want our students to learn how to be authentic Christ followers and not wear a mask. But how do they do that in the midst of figuring out who they are? What does it mean for a teenager to be real? [...]

Search Me – Message from Pastor Scott

2019-10-23T10:05:47-07:00

An Open Invitation Have you ever been searched? I remember how uncomfortable I was the first time I got patted down in an international airport. Being searched is invasive and uncomfortable, but it's also necessary sometimes. In Psalm 139, David invites God to search his heart and his thoughts. This is such a great prayer, but also a scary one! We should probably all pause more often and ask God to search us. It's quite possible that God might bring something to the surface that you didn't know was there. Teenagers can be a challenge. Sometimes there is no amount of [...]

The Importance of Accuracy – Family Email February 6, 2019

2019-03-26T11:15:30-07:00

The Importance of Accuracy In Acts 18 we get introduced to a man named Apollos. He was a well educated man and he knew about Jesus, but his information was incomplete. Fortunately for him, there were people listening to his message and willing to share more about Jesus.He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.Acts 18:26 (ESV)Priscilla and Aquila were friends of Paul and a great help to the early church. Here they were a great help to Apollos! It's [...]
