just download them from the internet and then deliver them in a monotone to your
congregation. But do your parishioners or congregation realize the effort you
have put into it? Are you certain your story or your theme is getting through to
them?
Many churches today have large white screens that hang down in the
background of the pulpit. The basic idea behind the screen is that the
congregation will always know the words to the hymns or the psalms being sung or
recited in unison. Sometimes the screen is used to help a visiting missionary
tell his or her story about the country he or she serves with his/her mission.
Sometimes the screen is used to show pictures of the congregation at various
holidays or events in the church.
As a minister or priest you are
charged, as the shepherd, with seeing to the needs of your flock. One of the
best ways you can do this is to be certain that your sermon resonates with those
sitting in the pews before you. How can you do this? You can do this by
illustrating your sermons with high quality photos that can help tell your story
and get your point across.
The white screen will come in handy as you use
Bible illustrations to help tell your story. You can get high quality
illustrations and have them flash up on the screen as you are speaking of a
relevant subject. Imagine speaking
Children’s church will be a breeze when you use these Bible
illustrations to illustrate the Bible stories that have become so well known to
Christians today.
If your church is a part of a Christian school, the
illustrations can be used in chapel and in special assemblies. Everyone benefits
from the use of these high quality photos and
illustrations.
