God loves everyone, so a Christian should, too. In fact, Jesus said the most important thing in life is to love God with everything we've got and love others in the same way. But it's not always easy to love everyone around us, is it? Sometimes we strongly disagree with other people's political views, religious beliefs, behaviors, or something else, and it makes it hard to love them when we feel like we're right and they're very wrong. But Jesus doesn't separate loving God and loving others. So maybe the best way for us to show our love for God is actually by loving other people no matter how hard it sometimes is. Maybe it's the only way. Bullhorn is the ninth DVD of the NOOMA ® series - short films appropriate for personal and small group settings, congregational meetings, and much more. Like parables, they use the experiences of our lives to teach about the fullness of life through Jesus, tackling issues like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love. The study materials accompanying each NOOMA® encourage meaningful discussion with relevant questions and biblical references.

The Nooma "No. 9 Bullhorn" is a popular earlier film in Rob Bell's series and gives people a good feel for his approach to evangelism.

The film tells parallel stories, a technique used in a number of the "Nooma" messages by Bell. In this case, there's a sidewalk evangelist blaring out a strident message to people through a booming bullhorn. Then, in stark contrast, there's Rob himself also talking to us from a city sidewalk -- and we see for ourselves how much more persuasive Rob's compassionate message seems.

Having watched lots of Nooma with a wide range of groups in recent years, I can tell you -- "Bullhorn" makes its point in a clever way and groups enjoy discussing its lessons.
