DVD - Luggage -07- 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".

Luggage:  Maybe a friend turned their back on you. Maybe someone you loved betrayed you. We all have wounds, and we end up carrying around these things that people have done to us for weeks, months, and sometimes even years. It isn't always easy to forgive these people, and after a while, these hurts can get really heavy. So the only way to feel better seems to be somehow getting back the people that hurt us, to get revenge. But does revenge ever truly satisfy? Maybe forgiving isn't something you do for someone else to let them off the hook. Maybe forgiveness is about you. God didn't create you to carry these wounds around. God created you to be free.
