Lesson 5
NOOMA Noise | 005
Rob Bell
Approx. 10 min - Released 2003
Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all the time that to just be in silence? We're constantly surrounded with "voices" that are influencing us on how to think, feel, and behave. Movies, music, TV, Internet, cell phones, and a never-ending barrage of advertising. There's always something going on. Always noise in our lives. But maybe there's a connection between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God. If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it's not because he's not talking to us, but simply because we aren't really listening.

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.
