How can you use video preaching to keep your multi-site campus unified?
Key Points:
- The “win” of video teaching is the unifying effect of the ministry of God’s word to the entire congregation.
- The “loss” of video teaching is that the teacher can’t see many of the people who are hearing the message. The preacher can’t read the response of the people when he’s on video.
- There are benefits of a multi-site strategy versus a megachurch strategy, but the teaching element has to be evaluated.
- God is big enough to use video preaching. The power of preaching is unstoppable by the medium.
Quote This:
Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!
