To follow up the Mosaic Movement Resources as promised, here’s some articles, audio’s and video’s for you Rob Bell fans. I’ve been downloading all of their sermons since back in 2002, but again, to be on the safe side, all links here are just what’s currently available on the web.
*Note, I only link to resources that are already available on the web and I don’t have a practice of distributing or re-distributing any content.
<- Feel free to share the love with the social media links on the left sidebar.

Miscellaneous
For those of you who aren’t up to speed on Rob and Mars Hill, I’d say their the Mac of the megachurch world. clean and simple. Rob Bell’s an excellent communicator who does his homework, especially with contextualizing ancient Jewish culture. Their church is legend for exploding by word of mouth as Bell preached through Leviticus the first year.
Nooma video’s have been the latest craze. People thought I was being silly for spending money on them a few years back. You can borrow them from me if you’re in the area.
I’ll try to keep this resource page up to date, let me know if there’s anything worthwhile that I’m missing. Feel free to share this link on your sites/blogs.

That would be sweet to find that first year of services, but I wonder if the only place would be to actually buy them from Mars Hill…or to find someone that has a secret stash of all the Mars Hill teachings somewhere.
someone please do some research on finding those teachings. i have looked for while online with not many results. let me know what you find.
Great list Lon – thanks.
Do you know the name of the track on the Everything is spiritual dvd?
Hey Garth, according to wikipedia:
Rob Bell is a fan of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós; he used their song Takk in his Everything is Spiritual tour… could that be the one on the dvd?
No, I checked, and It’s not. I even asked Rob bell at the God’s aren’t angry tour and he didn’t know, so I think it’s just going to take someone recognizing the song. Thanks though.
hve you checked out the resource “the big ask”
here.
Just bumped into it and bought it the other day…
Darren, thanks so much for sharing the resource. I had never heard of it… Looks a little pricey, but i guess it is 4 dvd’s. I’ll add the link here, let me know how it is sometime.
I love your blog by the way, very slick!
Lon, thanks for the link. Glad you found the notes helpful. Had a chance to check out your site…lots of great stuff, thanks.
I haven’t everything here but I do think anyone who is into Rob Bell (positive or negative) should have a look at this YouTube link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wSAEezBc3s
I personally like a lot of Rob Bell says and own both of his books and have watched a few of the Nooma videos before. But, as we all Christ-followers we stumble. This is an example of one of Rob’s trips. The only problem is that we let pride get in the way and refuse to admit that we were wrong.
Rob Bell? I just don’t get it. I’ve never had problems with being relevant, or a pharisee, or whatever the accusation that Brian McLaren, Rob Bell and the like would call me.
I live in LA, and there’s more than enough trendiness around here. Rob’s got cool clothes, cool videos, and coolness coming out of every pore. I want truth, expository preaching and bible-saturated character. If you put Von Rad in Hollister and give him Starbucks, you don’t get any of those. Rob Bell strikes out.
I think the music track from the DVD “Everything is Spiritual” is from the band, The Album Leaf. The song is almost a dead ringer for a song of theirs called The Outer Banks but not quite. Does anyone know the exact track? I know that The Album Leaf tours with Sigur rose frequently and that Rob is a fan of both.
Contacted nooma customer service and they said it’s an independent artist who wished to remain anonymous.
does anyone know what song is playing in the trailer for “the gods aren’t angry”?
http://store.thegodsarentangry.com/?adwords&gclid=CKK3laeo8pMCFR30IgodTFcQWQ#watch
it’s amazing, and sounds like sigur ros, but i’ve never heard it.
This is an excellent resource page on the most famous of all my overseas namesakes.
Rob Bell, not the preacher though, UK
what gods do yo think of. for the isea of many came from one sorce. and was ended by one.
does anyone know what william parnell said at mars hill that they wouldnt play his sermon on easter sunday?
Just stumbled upon a webpage that looks like it has the first three years of Mars Hill teachings. Didn’t see it on this website so i thought I would pass it on http://www.mhtorah.org/audio
Hey Rob, thanks – I was aware of it – it’s such a motherload, and I was getting so much traffic on this page every day, i didn’t want to kill the dude’s server. but yes – great stuff.
Thanks for the consideration, Lon. Feel free to add it to your list, I don’t think you are going to bring it down. I am, however, in the process of transitioning the site to another provider, so downtime may be an issue. Shalom
The URL has changed to: http://www.mhtorah.org/home/audio-1
Has anyone heard about Art of the Sermon? It has been “Almost Done” for a year now.
Hey Jeremy, no word at all on it from what I’ve heard. I was at the live event, and it should be worth the wait. Could be because he’s working on the new ‘build your house on that’ series.
actually looks like it just got released, i’ve updated the links here or just head to robbell.com
I would like to show your movie “Everything is spiritual” at my church. Can you direct me to info. that gives a clear and concise description that I can share in a bulletin insert?
Thank you, Brad
Sorry Brad, this site isn’t officially affiliated to Rob Bell – go see http://robbell.com
I would really like to download all of the early sermons found here: http://www.mhtorah.org/home/audio-1
but there are so many to download one at a time. Could we maybe collect them all in one place and upload as a torrent or something? I would be happy to keep it alive. Thanks!
what an awesome resource. Thanks so much for assembling it.
Just a headsup on several grammatical typos on the post above:
-you have “audio’s and video’s” where you mean “audios and videos”
-you have “I’d say their the Mac of the megachurch world,” where you mean “I’d say they’re the Mac of the megachurch world”
-you have “Nooma video’s have been the latest craze, where you mean
“Nooma videos have been the latest craze”
-you have “Barnes & Nobel”…should be Noble
etc
Blessings
I’ve been listening to the Leviticus series and the link doesn’t work anymore. Any ideas???
