Next week our focus will be on the fifth film in Rob Bell's Nooma series - "Noise." Marcie will lead us in this casual discussion.
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 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.
Watch the trailer for the film we'll watch on August 26th:
Remember, we meet in the Fellowship Hall during Sunday School (9:45-10:45). Everyone is welcome!!
What a powerful, powerful message today. I take the challenge this week to find true solitude and listen!
