NOOMA DVD #9 - Bullhorn
 
This NOOMA DVD looks into Jesus' call to love others even when it seems exceedingly difficult. Jesus made it clear in his ministry that we are to love everyone, even our enemies. In fact, Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. However, this command is extremely difficult to put into practice because we so often disagree with people on any number of issues from politics to religion. However, no matter how difficult it may be to love people who are so different from us it is a central message of Jesus' teaching. One of the best ways for us to show love to God is to love others, even when we feel like they don't deserve to be loved by anyone.

NOOMA DVD #10 - Lump
 

This NOOMA DVD looks at how we deal with our past sins. We have all done things in the past that we are ashamed of. Some of these things are really miniscule, while others are extremely large and destructive. Sometimes we choose to hide these shameful things and we try not to think about these things. We try to avoid dealing with these things because we don't want to feel vulnerable and we may feel that facing up to these past wrongs will just make the situation worse. However, no matter what we've done, no matter how big or small, God is waiting with open arms to show love to us. Nothing that we can possibly do can take us away from the love of God. God has always loved us and will continue to love us forever.

NOOMA DVD #11 - Rhythm
 

This NOOMA DVD looks at how we can practice Christ's teachings in our daily lives. We might not know what it requires to have a relationship with God, however, this is something that many people struggle with. It can be hard to relate to a God that is infinite and unimaginable and it is also difficult to understand the function of Jesus. Maybe by trusting in God and following in the footsteps of Jesus we can truly develop a relationship with God. By practicing forgiveness, love, truth, justice, compassion, and sacrifice in our lives, we can attempt to emulate Jesus. The actions that we take every single day affect our relationship with God whether it be for good or for bad.
.......NOOMA DVD #12 - Matthew

This NOOMA DVD explores the tough issue of dealing with the death of a loved one. For many people, losing a loved one is the hardest thing that they will ever have to go through. The pain and loss that comes from death is something that is inexplicable and confusing. Different people may go through a whole range of emotions from shock to denial, however, all of these emotions are ok. There are no easy answers when it comes to death and there may be seem to little hope for the future. However, one thing that can be helpful to us, is to understand the way that Jesus dealt with this kind of loss.
