Rob Bell Nooma


Rob Bell Nooma



Rob Bell Nooma Rain
Of all the Rob Bell Nooma videos the first one is still my favorite. I had such an emotional response to the nooma rain and every time I have watched it since (about 8 times) I still have a similar emotions evoked.

Rob Bell Nooma video productions are designed to use strong aesthetic images in video format to draw an audience into a discussion about significant issues. To outsiders these may appear to be blatantly christian in nature but many Christians believe that Rob Bell Nooma products are heretical and non-Christian in nature. Rob Bell is the pastor of Mars Hill Church in Grand Rapids MI. He started a church to be able to avoid the standard christian dialogue and introduce a dialogue about the issues that are important to God and make a difference in people's lives. Originally the first Rob Bell Nooma videos were produced for use in the services at Mars Hill Church to introduce the topic and then segue into the teaching lesson. The response was overwhelming and soon other pastors and churches were requesting Rob Bell Nooma dvds for use with their congregations.
Rob Bell Nooma video dvds are all just over ten minutes long to have consistency and pointedness in their presentation. Nooma is derived from the greek word for the spirit of God or wind. Using an art form is much less direct than oratory form of preaching that is normal in our society now.
Rob Bell Nooma dvds are a great tool for your small group, sunday school class, worship service, or your family gathering. We have used thee Rob Bell Noomas several times during our family reunions and it has engendered some great conversations.
