My Mom Is Better Than Yours

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

Moms are the best. They are the unsung heroes who have done so much for their families. It’s easy to be a little biased and think that your mom is the greatest....well, because she is! Truth is, every mom is the greatest! What would we do without them? So celebrate mom on Mother’s Day and make her feel extra special. This is a great direction for your church service to celebrate the moms in the room. Have fun with the day and make them feel extra special!

Scripture: Proverbs 31:15-21

Easter Upside Down: Mara

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

As we imagine what the preparation for the Last Supper may have been like, we hear Mara share her story, revealing what she witnessed from outside the room where Jesus and the disciples gathered. She expresses her shock at Jesus washing the feet of the other men, and her amazement at Jesus’ words. She realizes that Jesus — the living bread — was about to turn the world upside down. Use at any point during your Easter series, or as part of a Maundy Thursday service.

Last Words Of Christ: The Paralytic Man

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

He was placed with his mat in a room full of people listening to Jesus teach, hoping for a miracle. When Jesus said that the paralytic man’s sins were forgiven, he wondered how it was possible for Jesus to forgive sins. The man realizes that only God can forgive sins and heal his legs, and he knows that God can change the world. This video is based on Luke 23:34 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on forgiveness.

At The Table (Thanksgiving)

Video Illustration

Produced by Playback Media

This isn’t just a table. It’s marked with so much history and so many memories and is so much more than a place to gather, break bread and give thanks. It’s a sacred place where there will always be room for more. Here you are unconditionally accepted and loved, just as you are at Christ’s table where we are called to share it with others. During this season of thanks, this video encourages us to embrace the ones we love, make space for others, celebrate differences and give thanks to the One who unites us all.

The Beautiful Resurrection

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

Maybe an empty egg is a better symbol for Easter than one filled with treats. An empty Easter egg is filled with discouragement for the child who finds it. Mary Magdalene was filled with distress when she discovered the empty tomb on that first Easter morning. Empty often feels like disappointment, but the empty tomb on Easter Sunday was filled with hope for the world. An empty tomb became a resurrection miracle. When we feel isolated and alone, our emptiness leaves plenty of room for Jesus to enter. This video is part of THE BEAUTIFUL EMPTY Easter series.

Love, Sex & Dating

Video Illustration

Produced by Pixel Preacher

It’s the inevitable topic that we all must face at some point. These days, this topic needs to be addressed sooner than later. The idea of love and sex has gone from bad to worse in a very short period of time. God’s original plan has become diluted and skewed so much that many of us don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. This series is meant to address the elephant in the room and remind us all what God really intended when he created man and woman. This series should break the ice with such a taboo topic and create an atmosphere of honesty and candidness.

Church Differently

Video Illustration

Produced by Freebridge Media

Many of us have been doing church differently. Sunday mornings have become a bit more casual, living rooms and coffee shops have become sanctuaries and fellowship has a new, less personal touch. It hasn’t been easy, yet here we are. Gathering, worshipping, learning…being the Church. Now, more than ever, we are reminded of a simple truth. The Church is not a building, it is the body of Christ. It isn’t built with brick and mortar, but with faith…and hope. In the midst of uncertainty, our calling remains the same. To share the truth of the Gospel with a world God loves. Throughout history The Church has prospered in difficult times. And today is no different. We are still the church…We’re just doing things a bit differently.
