Lesson 4
NOOMA Sunday | 004
Rob Bell
Approx. 12 min - Released 2002
Why do we do the things we do? Why do we go to church or give money away? Because we're 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 God's sake, or because it'll make us look better to the world around us? We're tired of all the empty rituals and routines. And so is God. God hates it when we call ourselves Christians but ignore all the things he really cares about. He hates it when we go through hollow religious routines out of some feeling of duty or obligation. God doesn't want the meaningless rituals. God wants our hearts.

Reproducible discussion guide included
NOOMA is changing the way people experience spirituality. Not a book or a cassette tape, not a CD or a two-hour movie, they're short films on DVD, between 10 and 14 minutes long - each with a reproducible discussion guide - about God and our lives. The study materials accompanying each film encourage meaningful discussion with relevant questions and biblical references. Rob Bell, a leading pastor and breakthrough communicator in the Christian community, is featured in the first series of NOOMAs.
They're appropriate for personal and small group settings, congregational meetings, and much more. Like parables, they use the experiences of our lives to teach about the fullness of life through Jesus, tackling issues like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love.
