Ever had those moments in your life when God feels absent? When prayers echo into emptiness, when life unravels, and heaven stays quiet? We all face seasons when God’s silence feels louder than His presence — when the story we’re living doesn’t seem to have a trace of Him in it, when we wonder if he’s even there at all. If you’re feeling that way now, you are not alone.

This week at BCC, we begin a new series on the story of Esther — the only book in Scripture where God’s name is never mentioned, His voice never heard, and His presence never acknowledged. It is the story of a God who remains silent. And yet, through the silence, the story still moves. Join us as we discover that even in God’s silence, our stories still move.

Worship and awe come naturally when we encounter beauty—whether in a sunset, a deep connection, or a moment of joy, our hearts naturally overflow with gratitude. But when hardship strikes, worship feels much harder. The weight of pain, loss, and struggle often clouds our ability to see beyond our circumstances.

Yet, imagine the freedom and joy we could experience if we learned to worship even in the hardest moments. If we could shift our focus back to worship, it might transform how we see God, ourselves, and our situation. Join us at BCC this week as we explore a powerful idea together, learning how worship isn’t just for the good times, but that we are called to Worship In Everything.

Ever tried assembling IKEA furniture without a second pair of hands? You start off strong, but soon you're wrestling with a wobbly bookshelf, using your knee to stabilize one side while your other hand fumbles for a screwdriver. It’s a delicate dance of frustration, questionable balance, and by the end, you've somehow insulted three Swedish ancestors just by turning a bookcase into a modern art sculpture that has a cat trapped behind a glued-down faux-wood panel.

Going it alone sounds heroic—but the truth is, we’re not meant to do everything by ourselves. Whether it’s furniture, tough decisions, or life’s messier moments, having support makes the load lighter and the process better. Leaning on others isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Join us this week at BCC to explore what we mean when we say, Don’t Go It Alone.
