We just had two semesters of teachings and small group conversations. Now what? Summer time can feel daunting. Our rhythms change, our community shifts, and even our goals look different, so how do we hold onto our spiritual rhythms? How do we set ourselves up to have a summer of listening, responding, and engaging with our faith?

Join us for a two week Bible Study on Colossians. Each week, our teacher will introduce a new way of studying scripture.
We take a look at the last night Jesus spent with his disciples before his arrest to learn about his command - to love one another as He loved us.
The Holy Spirit can feel mysterious and unrelated to our daily lives. Because of the mystery, it is hard for us to notice the Holy Spirit working. How do we pay attention to the Holy Spirit? How do we know when the Holy Spirit is speaking to us and directing us? What do our ordinary, regular days have to do with the Holy Spirit?
Our hope is that this series will help us encounter and have a relationship with Holy Spirit, not just in the mountain top moments of our faith, but in the everyday ordinary moments.

What does it look like for us to wait well? What would it look like for us – in the midst of waiting – to decide to praise? Praise meaning to bring our whole selves to Jesus – not because of what may happen in the future but because of what He has in store for us today. This series will explore how God meets us in our waiting and uses it for our good as He transforms us and opens our eyes to more of Him.

Life as a young adult is not easy. Young adults are navigating many transitions in the middle of a variety of hardships ranging from leaving families in the midst of a pandemic to learning how to manage an array of emotions. Although it may feel lonely, Jesus promises us in John 16:33 that He is with us in the hard times and He gives us His peace & confidence as we rest & trust in Him. Together, as a community, BASIC values that in the midst of the hardship – we get to embrace that Jesus made us well, is making us well, and we will be made well through Him. Our physical, mental, and relational wellbeing matters to God now and in the future. We take steps forward towards being well knowing that God's promise is always “Let’s do this together.”

Why do we say "guard your heart"? What did God actually mean when he gave us this command?
Where is Jesus in the midst of suffering? This is the story of Mary's honest questions and finding Jesus in the experience of losing her brother, Lazarus.

A teaching from Luke 19:1-10, the story of Zacchaeus.
Don't be Jesus, be LIKE Jesus. So often we try to be the judge and the jury for people, but God calls us to love and serve others and that should be the focus of our life on earth. And then trust God to do the rest!
