Watch a short introductory video for Crazy Love, our next study by Francis Chan.
I'm looking forward to where God will lead us and what he will show us about the crazy, overwhelming, relentless love He has for us!
I'll be posting introductory videos for each chapter that you can watch prior to Just Coffee on Sundays, then we will watch about a 10-minute clip about that week's chapter before discussion (just like our Nooma format).

This week our focus will be on the last and twenty-fourth film in Rob Bell's Nooma series - "Whirlwind." Traci will lead us in this casual discussion. What do we do when there aren't nice, neat answers?
A lot of us have gone through times in our lives that are difficult.Some have been small and hard to understand and some have been big andoverwhelming. During these times we want answers, don't we? We want to knowwhy. Why do we have to suffer? Why do bad things happen to good people? We justwant someone to make sense of it all. But we don't always get the answers, dowe? Sometimes we are left wondering. And those can be some of the mostdifficult times. Maybe there are times we need to be released from having tohave all the answers. And maybe it's when we're released that we are able tosee there may be more going on here than we realize.

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.

Next week our focus will be on the twenty-second film in Rob Bell's Nooma series - "Tomato." Tabitha will lead us
in this casual discussion. Do we try so hard to be something we are not, that we miss out on how to truly live?We all get consumed with ourselves; sometimes we're not even aware of it. We learn from a young age that life is about winning and impressing. We pick up that our worth and value come from how good, how smart, and how skilled we are. So, we twist things in our favor, making us look like we have it all together. Every day we have the choice to prop up these false ideas about ourselves or to let go of them. Jesus invites these parts of us to die, the parts of us that tell us our worth comes from the things we say and do. Maybe it's only when we let these things die, that we truly begin to live.
