Easter is just a big deal. Palm Sunday. Good Friday. Resurrection Sunday. They are seismic events in God’s redemptive storyline. Add to that particular the fact that tons of people who aren’t regularly in church come in church on Easter and you’ve a situation where, as a pastor or worship leader, you feel a lot of pressure to provide great services that powerfully reflect the Gospel of Christ. So what can you do?

Using video in your Easter services certainly won’t solve your entire problems, but church videos are what I understand, and so I want to give you a few reasons why I do believe using video can help to alleviate a few of the pressure you feel to provide powerfully at Easter.

Video…

Meets people where they are. You’ve heard it before but it’s worth repeating: We are now living in an aesthetic culture. Incorporating video and other forms of visual media into your service will put people relaxed, so they can settle in and prepare to hear the message. Like, starting the service with an interesting clip is a good way to place the congregation at ease.

Connects emotionally. Video operates on an emotional level and gives you a great tool for getting the congregation emotionally prepared to hear your message. Utilizing a Sermon Illustration video is a superb way to create your message. The video you choose can illustrate certainly one of your points, demonstrate a situation where people need to hear your message or raise questions that you can then handle in your message.

Gives people space to reflect. Using video can also be an effective way to steer the congregation into a period of reflection and also helps focus them on the things you would like them to reflect on mesaje de paste crestine, felicitari si urari de paste. Put it to use to begin the service to get ready their hearts for what they will hear. Put it to use during a unique amount of time in the service such as for example Communion to steer them through what you would keep these things reflecting on. Put it to use at the end of your message to offer them space to consider and answer what they’ve heard.

In each one of these ways and more, video gives you a strong tool to greatly help do the most important thing at Easter: connect people to the life-changing message of Christ.
