THE PRODIGAL GOD 6 DVD In this compelling six-session DVD study, Tim Keller presents a new way of looking this new way of looking at this well known parable. Where most teaching focuses on t he younger "wayward" son, Dr. Keller challenges us to consider both the role of the elder brother and the father as well. Even Jesus began his parable with "a man had two sons" so the story is not just about the younger son who leaves home and squanders his inheritance before eventually returning home. The story is as much about the elder brother as the younger, and as much about the father as the sons. To this end, Dr. Keller contends that the story might better be called "Two Lost Sons." In six sessions your group will explore the prodigal who spend until he had nothing left, the self righteous and offended elder son, and the father who forgave with reckless abandon. And your group will learn the love of the Heavenly Father who lavishes his love upon his children and welcomes us back into his loving arms.

Five marriages came and went and she finally accepted the truth that people had been hurling at her for years.

She would not feel anything. That way she could not be hurt anymore. Of course, that sort of defense is not completely effective and there were still moments of great pain, but she never let anyone know that she hurt. Then one day as she came to the well at the hottest hour of the day (she went then so she wouldn't meet anyone else) she encountered a man by the well who would change her life forever, but not just her life -- the lives of everyone in her village.

VISITORS FROM THE PAST: ELIZABETH AND LYDIA 1 hr. 2 DVD Dramatic portrayal of ELIZABETH and LYDIA by UM Evangelist Luella Krieger. ELIZABETH - Length: 35 minutes Elizabeth was the aging wife of Zechariah. The couple's only regret in an otherwise happy marriage was a lack of children. One day, that all changed as Zechariah served as priest before the lord in the Temple. The angel said they would have a son! You will hear the story of this amazing, devout woman who was not weighed down by questions about motherhood, rather she stood ready to serve God and He brought her a son very late in life. LYDIA - Length: 25 minutes "The seller of purple". She was not only the first convert in Philippi, it would appear she was a leader in the interesting church that grew up there. When you meet Lydia you will hear her impressions of that strange looking man named Paul who came to the riverside to join in their prayer meeting. You will hear of her life as a dealer in the business of dyeing and selling fabric but also of the vague longing she had in her heart for something that was missing. She will talk of how she came to know the God who could satisfy that longing and of how He brought her to Philippi to complete the work He had begun in her. You will also hear about the varying group of folks comprising the church of Philippi. You will hear how God took an odd group of people having nothing at all in common and created a part of the body of Christ!

Featuring the voices of Tim Conway as Hermie and Don Knotts as Wormie, these caterpillars encounter a host of delightful characters and quickly wriggle their way into the hearts of young and old alike.

And one unforgettable morning young John outran Peter to his Savior's empty tomb. Yet God had more in store for the Son of Thunder. As the other disciples were martyred one by one, John remained to write his sublime Gospel proclaiming Jesus' identity as the eternal Word of God. In his three letters John left a legacy of divine love to ignite the passion of future believers. And while exiled on Patmos, John recorded His risen Lord's glorious revelation of victory and hope.

In eight-sessions, Anne along with Crawford Lorritts and Henry Blackaby help guide small groups in seeing that vision so that each participant can have a genuine experience of personal, life-changing revival.

NOOMA 001: RAIN 11min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Pain, Loneliness, Lost, Confusion, Comfort Things don't always work out the way we want them to, or the way we think they will. Sometimes we don't even see it coming. We get hit with some form of pain out of nowhere leaving us feeling depserate and helpless. But that's the way life is. Still, it makes us wonder how God can let these things happen to us. How God can just stand by and watch us suffer. Where is God when it really hurts? Maybe God is actually closer to us than we think. Maybe it's when we're in these situations, where everything seems to be falling apart, that God gets an opportunity to remind us of how much He really loves us.

NOOMA 002: FLAME 11min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Love, Passion, Beauty, Marriage, Sex Could love be the most misunderstood and misused word in our vocabulary? I love those shoes. Really? The same way I love my wife? What's up with the word "love"? It doesn't have much meaning when we use it so loosely. Maybe we don't really get it. Maybe we don't 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 hold us back or to make us miss out on the best life has to offer. God created love, and wants us to feel it all in the way it's meant to be felt.

NOOMA 003: TREES 13min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Life, Significance, Meaning, Eternity, Redemption We 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 don't want to just sit back and wait for something to happen or someday to come. We want to know if all the choices we make now will shape our world and lives for eternity. Because we want our lives to have meaning today, and our lives today to have meaning forever.

NOOMA 004: SUNDAY 12 min 1 DVD TOPICS: Routine, Church, Actions, Hypocrisy, Religion Why do we do things we do? Why do we go to church or give money away? Because we're suppose 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.
NOOMA 004: SUNDAY 12min. 1 DVD Why do we attend church, tithe, or give our time? We're tired of all the empty rituals and routines. God doesn't want the meaningless rituals. God wants our hearts.

NOOMA 005: NOISE 10min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Listen, Solitude, Busy, Silence,, Hear 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 than to just be in silence? We're constantly surrounded by "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.
NOOMA 005: NOISE Copy 2 10min 1 DVD How can we hear God through the noise around us? Why is silence so hard to deal with? 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.
NOOMA 006: KICKBALL 11min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Trust, Faith, Desires, Wants, Needs We always think we know what's missing from our lives in order to really make us happy, don't we? If only I had that car, or that job, or if only I could lose those 15 lbs, then I'd be happy. Really? How often do we want something only to find out that it wasn't that great after all? Sometimes we ask God for things and if He doesn't deliver right away, we start questioning whether God really understands or even cares. Do we really trust God? Do we trust that God is good and sees a bigger picture than we ever could? It's easy to want what's right in front of us, but maybe God knows what's better for us, and sometimes we just can't see it.
NOOMA 006: KICKBALL Copy 2 11min 1 DVD Why doesn't God always give us what we want? It's easy to want what's right in front of us, but do we trust that God is good and sees a bigger picture than we ever could?
NOOMA 007: LUGGAGE 13 min 1 DVD TOPICS: Forgiveness, Freedom, Resentment, Betrayal, Revenge Maybe 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 isn't 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 the people that hurt us, to get revenge. But does revenge ever truly satisfy? Maybe forgiving isn't something you do for someone else to let them off the hook. Maybe forgiveness is about you. God didin't create you to carry these wounds around. God created you to be free.

NOOMA 008: DUST 14min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Self-Acceptance, Choices, Insecurity, Discipleship, Inadequacy Believing 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. It's easy for us to sometimes get down on ourselves. To feel "not good enough" or feel like we don't have what it takes. But maybe if we had more insight into the culture that Jesus grew up in and some of the radical things He did, we'd understand the faith that God has in all of us.
NOOMA 008: DUST copy 2 14min. 1 DVD We believe in God, but does God believe in us? Maybe if we knew more about Jesus growing up and some of the radical things that he did, we would better understand the faith that God has in all of us.
NOOMA 009: BULLHORN 12min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Condemnation, Loving Others, Unconditional Love, Judgment, Self-Righteousness God loves everyone, so a Christian should, too. In fact, Jesus said that the most important thing in life is to love God with everything we've got and love others the same way. But it's not always easy to love everyine around us, is it? Sometimes we strongly disagree with other people's political views, religious beliefs, behaviors or something else, and it makes it hard to love them when we feel like we're right and they're very wrong. But Jesus doesn't separate loving God and loving others. So maybe that best way for us to show our love for God is actually by loving other people no matter how hard it sometimes is. Maybe it's the only way.

NOOMA 010: LUMP 12min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Guilt, Forgiveness, Shame, Unconditional Love, Hiding A lot of us have done things in our lives that we’re ashamed of. Some are small things, and some of us have really big and devastating things. Some of us even have things that people close to us don’t know about. Personal junk that we keep to ourselves so we don’t have to deal with it. Because we don’t know how to deal with it, do we? We’re afraid that if we try it’s just going to make everything worse. But no matter how big our junk is, no matter how much what we’ve done has impacted the way other people feel about us or how we feel about ourselves, it hasn’t changed how God feels about us. God loves us, he always has and always will, and there’s nothing we can do to change that.
NOOMA 010: LUMP Copy 2 12min. 1 DVD A lot of us have done things in our lives for which we are ashamed. No matter what we've done, God always loves us.
NOOMA 011: RHYTHM 12min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Relaltionship, Harmony, Full Life, Compassion, Truth Is how we live connected to something that has been in place since the beginning of time? Maybe Jesus didn't come to start a new religion, but to how us how to live in tune with the life God has always planned for us. We can get anything we want, from anywhere in the world, whenever we want it. That's how it is and that's how we want it to be. Still, our lives aren't any different than other generations before us. Our time is. We want spiritual direction, but it has to be real for us and available when we need it.
NOOMA 011: RHYTHM Copy 2 12min. 1 DVD Maybe the way we live every day, every single choice we make, determines how in tune with God we are. This short film deals with the question "What does it mean to have a relationship with God?".
NOOMA 012: MATTHEW 14 min 1 DVD TOPICS: Grief, Loss, Death, Mourning, Hope Losing someone we love can be the most difficult thing to go through in life. All the explanations and comforting words in the world don't really help and everything can seem hopeless. But what might help us is to know, that in facing this kind of loss, Jesus wept.
NOOMA 012: MATTHEW copy 2 14 min 1 DVD Suffering the loss of someone can be the most difficult thing to deal with. Sometimes all the reasoning and comforting words in the world just aren’t what we need. What might help us, however, is to understand how Jesus dealt with this kind of loss.
NOOMA 013: RICH 12 min 1 DVD TOPICS: Blessings, Generosity Giving, Sharing, Money There's a popular bumper sticker that reads "God Bless America," but hasn't America already been blessed? It's easy for us to fall into a mindset of viewing "our" world as "the" world, because it's all we generally see. We're constantly bombarded with images of the latest styles and models of everything, and it can easily leave us feeling like what we have isn't enough because we see people that have even more than us. But how does what we have compare to what most people in the world have? Maybe what we have is enough; maybe it's more than enough. Maybe God has blessed us with everything we have so we can bless and give to others.

NOOMA 014: BREATHE 14min. 1 DVD TOPICS: Spirit, Life, Image of God, Sacred, Breath Throughout our everyday lives we don't pay much attention to the way we breathe, do we? But for thousands of years, people have understood that our physical breath is actually a picture of a deeper spiritual reality. With everything that we’ve got going on every day, how many of us ever think about our breathing, about the meaning of breathing? Yet, for thousands of years, people have understood that our physical breath is a picture of a deeper spiritual reality. In the Bible, the word for “breath” is the same as the word for “spirit.” There’s an inherent dilemma at the core of what makes us human. We’ve all been created in the image of God and possess immense power and strength. And at the same time our lives are incredibly vulnerable and fragile. Maybe if we had more insight into the meaning of breathing, we would better understand how God created us as human beings.

NOOMA 015: YOU 13 min 1 DVD TOPICS: Brokenness, Restoration, Gospel, Church, History Do we get so hung up on debating and defending our faith that we miss out on the point of it?

NOOMA 016: STORE 14min 1 DVD TOPICS: Anger, Bitterness, Injustice, Aggression, Rage We all get angry about things from time to time - some of us more often than others. But what is really the root of our anger? Maybe if we learn where our anger comes from, we can channel it towards something constructive - something that's bigger than ourselves.
NOOMA 016: STORE Copy 2 14min. 1 DVD We all get angry about things from time to time – some of us more often than others. For some of us, it feels like we’re constantly on the brink of losing it, where it doesn’t take much to get angry about anything. But what is the root of our anger?
NOOMA 017: TODAY 11min. 1 DVD Topics: Letting Go, Moving On, The Past Today, Worry How much time and energy do we spend wishing things were how they used to be? We often think about times in our past when things were different and want our lives to be like that again. Some of us have even come to believe that our best days may actually be behind us. But if we're in some way hung up on the past, what does that mean for our lives now? How are we and those around us affected if we're not fully present? If we're longing for the way things used to be, what does that really say about our understanding and appreciation of our lives today? Maybe we need to learn to embrace our past for what it is, in order to live our lives to the fullest, right here, right now.

NOOMA 018: NAME 11min 1 DVD Topics: Fake, Self, Identity, Approval, Envy We all compare ourselves to others. We spend our lives wondering what others think and say about us. Some of us even wish we were someone else. We question why we are the way we are and not the way we wish we could be. Some of us have let the expectations of others dictate who we've become. We act a certain way to be accepted but know that we're being untrue. But why are we so concerned with what other people think, say, or look like?

But most of us find it hard to say no. We feel obligated. There are so many good things to do. So many good causes to join.

Or is there another way to live? Where life is about more than just us. Where we see people in need and we do something about it. Where our world is expanding because we are sharing our success. And maybe in attempting to save someone else from their suffering, we find out that we are actually the ones being saved.

Why do bad things happen to good people? We just want someone to make sense of it all. But we don't always get the answers, do we? Sometimes we are left wondering. And those can be some of the most difficult times. Maybe there are times we need to be released from having to have all the answers. And maybe it's when we're released that we are able see there may be more going on here than we realize.
