Monday Minute // Creativity Matters
2:29 PM
Yesterday was
Easter. It is easily one of the busiest times of the year for our staff. This
year we tried particularly hard to really make the service as creative as we
possibly could. We were trying to convey one point. No matter what is in your
past not matter what your stains may be that God can still make something beautiful out of your story!
We started planning this service months ago. The first
mention of it that I remember of it was back in September. We wanted this to be
our biggest and most focused Easter ever. To almost all accounts it was. It was
a great day.
My point in all that is that I know the gospel is the
gospel. And God is God! But to truly convey it all kinds of different people we
need CREATIVITY! In today’s world simply standing up and reading the bible just
wont communicate to every one. Especially those who know very little about this
whole God thing. If we want to communicate in a manner that reaches them we
have to be creative!!
3 things creativity does!!
Breaks down walls – a
lot of times creativity speaks to people in a none threatening way! Videos,
music, and other things that help create the experience in which they can see
things in a new way.
It gives you
collateral – it tells them on a level we may never understand that what we
have to tell them matters. You cause people to perk up a little when it is more
than evident there were a lot of resources devoted to getting the message
across. People have a tendency to listen when it appears that what your saying
matters to you!!
It creates excitement
– excitement breed’s excitement. And when you put a lot of work and team
effort into a project it generates some energy among the team and them teams
circle of influence.
What would you add to this list??
Here is a video we shot. We were in a series called stained!
The entire series we had folks right what they thought their stains were on a
big canvas. We used that canvas to shoot this video!!
