Preaching on the big Screen

Mark Batterson from National Community Church had this on a blog post a couple days ago…

Who said you have to preach from behind a pulpit? Jesus did most of his preaching at the beach or on the mountain! We are currently experimenting with "offsite preaching" that is shot "on location" and pre-produced as a short film. Why not? Especially if your church meets in a movie theater! Our theater screens double as postmodern stained glass. They enable us to communicate truth in moving pictures.

How sweet would that be? A cool thought, and very true of our culture today, every thing is so visual – I love NOOMA that Rob Bell and his team put together. I think it’s a great way to relate truth, and keep people interested in the big message of God without being irrelevant. Mark Batterson continues and says “irrelevance is irreverence”. Great post – and Amen Bro!
