Week Twenty-Three - Corner

 

Next week our focus will be on the twenty-third film in Rob Bell's Nooma series - "Corner."  Amy will lead us in this casual discussion.

Why do we often feel empty even when we get what we want?

Why is it that often when we get what we want, we still feel empty? We work so hard to succeed, but our lives just end up becoming more about us. Can success turn on us? Can we get caught up in a smaller world where our lives are all about the things that we want? 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.

Week Thirteen - Rich

Next week our focus will be on the thirteenth film in Rob Bell's Nooma series - "Rich."  Brian and Melinda will lead us in this casual discussion.

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.
