I’ve recently come across Rob Bell who is a great teacher. In fact, I think I can say, this young guy has started to restore my faith in preaching. Rob Bell is a church leader at Mars Hill.

I have come across Rob Bell’s teaching through a series of DVD’s called Nooma. YFC were sent a copy to look at and we have used a couple in our thought slots at events. Rob Bell is deep, but he explains things with a young and fresh clarity which is enlightening. I was particularly struck by his new take on Peter jumping out of the boat to walk on the water.

I had a little search online today to see if I could buy any of the Nooma DVDs in the UK. I can, (the cheapest place I have found is here at £7.60 each) but I found that the Mars Hill site has free mp3 downloads of teachings from their services. Many of these are from Bell and are great to listen to. He is a fresh vibrant teacher, so he may be worth checking out.

I am thinking of downloading a couple for my long train journey to Leeds intheh morning.
