Nooma 08/Dust-Rob Bell15 min 28 sec - May 5, 2007Believing in God is important, but what about God believing in us? Believing that we can actually be the kind of people we were meant to be. People of love, compassion, peace, forgiveness, and hope. People who try to do the right thing all of the time. Who act on the endless opportunities around us every day for good, beauty, and truth. Its easy for us to sometimes get down on ourselves. To feel not good enough or feel like we dont have what it takes. But may

Nooma 07/Luggage-Rob Bell14 min 9 sec - May 5, 2007Maybe a friend turned their back on you. Maybe someone you loved betrayed you. We all have wounds and we end up carrying around these things that people have done to us for weeks, months, and sometimes even years. It isnt always easy to forgive these people and after a while these hurts can get really heavy. So the only way to feel better seems to be somehow getting back at the people that hurt us, to get revenge. But does revenge ever truly satisfy? Maybe

Nooma 02/Flame- Rob Bell10 min 56 sec - May 5, 2007I love those shoes. Really? The same way I love my wife? Whats up with the word love? It doesnt have much meaning when we use it so loosely. Maybe we dont really get it. Maybe we dont understand what real love is. What it involves to really love somebody. What it means to give yourself to someone else. We mistake things like friendship, commitment, or lust for love, but God wired us a certain way to experience all that love was really meant to be. Not to ho

Nooma 06/Kickball-Rob Bell10 min 34 sec - May 5, 2007We always think we know whats missing from our lives in order to really make us happy, dont we? If only I had that car, or that job, or if only I could lose those 15 lbs, then Id be happy. Really? How often do we want something only to find out that it wasnt that great after all? Sometimes we ask God for things and if he doesnt deliver right away, we start questioning whether God really understands or even cares. Do we really trust God? Do we trust that G

Nooma 04/Sunday-Rob Bell12 min 6 sec - May 5, 2007Why do we do the things we do? Why do we go to church or give money away? Because were supposed to or because we think God needs it? Do we honestly put on our best clothes for an hour once a week, stand and sit at all the right times, and sing all the appropriate songs for Gods sake, or because itll make us look better to the world around us? Were tired of all the empty rituals and routines. And so is God. God hates it when we call ourselves Christians but i

Nooma 11/Rhythm-Rob Bell11 min 19 sec - May 5, 2007What does it mean to have a relationship with God? What does it look like? For a lot of us its a hard thing to fully understand. If God is an infinite spirit with no shape or form, how can we possibly relate to that? And what about Jesus? He said he came to give everyone life in its fullest. He came to show us how to live. Maybe its through trusting Jesus and living the kind of life he taught us to live a life of truth, love, justice, compassion, forgivene

Nooma 03/Trees-Rob Bell13 min 22 sec - May 5, 2007We want to know why we are here. If our lives really matter. How our religion is relevant to this life. Today. We want to understand what significance this minute, hour, week, month, and year has to our lives.To our world. We need a God who cares about this life, in this world, right now. We want to understand why everything we think, everything we say, and everything we do matters. We dont want to just sit back and wait for something to happen or someday t
