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 at 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 all about you. God didn't create you to carry these wounds around. God created you to be free.

Luggage is the seventh DVD of the Nooma series - short films appropriate for personal and small group settings, congregational meetings, and much more.

The study materials accompanying each Nooma encourage meaningful discussion with relevant questions and biblical references.

• Audio: English (Dolby Digital)
