Dinner and a Movie 6:00 PM
“Everything Is Spiritual” Presented by Rob Bell (host of the Nooma Series) In the Hebrew Scriptures there is no word for “spiritual”. In fact Jesus never used the phrase: “spiritual life”. Because for Jesus and his tradition, all of life is spiritual, all of life is holy. So what exactly does that mean? (running time 1:20).
