Why do we do things we do? Why do we go to church or give money away? Because we're supposed to or because we think God needs it?

Do we honestly put on our best clothes for an hour once a week, stand and sit at all the right times, and sing all the appropriate songs for God's sake, or because it'll make us look better to the world around us?

We're tired of all the empty rituals and routines. And so is God. God hates it when we call ourselves Christians but ignore all the things He really cares about. He hates it when we go through hollow religious routines out of some feeling of duty or obligation. God doesn't want the meaningless rituals. God wants our hearts.
Nooma is a revolutionary product that is changing the way people experience spirituality - a series of short films (10-14 minutes long) about God and our lives. Like parables, they use the experience of our lives to teach about the fullness of life through Jesus, tackling issues like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love.
