DVD - Open -19- NOOMA Series

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.  We want a new format for getting Christian perspectives.  NOOMA is the new format.  It's short films with communicators that really speak to us.  Compact, portable, and concise.  Each NOOMA touches on issues that we care about, that we want to talk about, and it comes in a way that fits our world.  It's a format that's there for us when we need it, as we need it, how we need it.

"NOOMA" comes from the phonetic spelling of the Greek word "pneuma", meaning "wind", "spirit", or "breath".

Open:  Many of us have experienced situations where we've prayed and it felt like God wasn't listening.  And yet other times we've prayed or known someone that prayed and the situation changed.  Does God answer prayer?  Sometimes, but not all the time?  Or does God always answer prayer and it's just that sometimes God says no?  Some of us are angry with God for not answering the prayers we've prayed for years.  Why did he answer their prayer but not ours?  What if there's more to prayer than just God listening and answering?  Maybe if we understood how Jesus prayed, our concepts and expectations of prayer would change.
