Always Prepared

I am an Eagle Scout and our motto was "Be Prepared". That motto isn't merely for scouting it also applies for Big Creek Church (and any church for that matter).

We always need to be prepared for someone new coming on Sunday Morning. We never know who is going to walk through our doors. We don't know what they bring with them when they visit. What previous baggage they have about church. People who visit Big Creek may have been hurt in the past from a church that just hammered them. They may be angry or fearful. We just don't ever know. That is why we need to be prepared. Be always prepared to show a visitor Jesus. Show them genuine warmth and kindness. And care enough to get to know them, because truly -people matter to God.

This is an interesting video of a guy who brings his father to church. His father hasn't been to church in 20 years. This video isn't professional or well made, but it's REAL. It is about 9 minutes, but stick with it, it is worth the watch and you will be blessed by this man's love for the his father and excited that this dad is being drawn back to Jesus, step by step.
