Synopses & Reviews
The Christian life was meant to be a journey, not a routine.
BASIC is a seven-part short film series from the creators of NOOMA featuring Francis Chan inviting us to reclaim the simple, full, and beautiful journey that our lives are intended to be.
The first three BASIC films begin at the most fundamental level asking, “Who is God?” Francis addresses, reveals, and reinforces a foundational framework to better understand the complex truths of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Films four through seven focus on “The Practices of the Church,” and by living these out, we are the Church.
We’re all looking for a solid foundation – something we can build our lives around. We crave a profound assurance that God, His ways, and His Word will carry us through – leading to basic conclusions to complex questions we wrestle with.
Synopsis
BASIC.FEAR GOD is the first film in a seven-part short film series from the creators of NOOMA featuring Francis Chan.
To understand the relationship between God and man, we turn to those who have directly interacted with Him in the Bible. In each case, they are met with fear. Not respect, reverence or courage, but sheer speechlessness, humility, and complete surrender. They are overcome with pure fear and many of them cry out to be destroyed.
Most people today have lost this fear. We must understand that a true fear of God leads to the keeping of His commandments, leads to life, and is the beginning of wisdom.
Everyone who has come face-to-face with God falls over in fear. Do you think you'd do anything different?

Synopsis
The
BASIC Collection is the complete 7-film series produced by Flannel, and featuring Francis Chan. The BASIC short film series, through Chan’s teaching, challenges us to reclaim the simple, full, and beautiful journey of the church that is described in Scripture. In these films, Chan asks the questions many are wondering about: What is church? Who is it for? Is it broken? Can it be better? “If I only had this as my guide . . . if all I had was the Bible . . . and I was to read this book and start a ‘church,’ what would it look like?” asks Francis Chan, in the BASIC series. “Would it look like the thing we have built here and all refer to as church? Or would it look radically different?” The
BASIC Collection features seven reflection guides, bonus features, and all seven films, including:
Fear God,
Follow Jesus,
Holy Spirit,
Fellowship,
Teaching,
Prayer, and
Communion.
