The series "The Gardener" explores spiritual growth through the metaphor of gardening. You can dive into the different stages: preparing the heart, planting seeds of God's Word, nurturing spiritual fruitfulness, and finally, harvesting the fruit for God's kingdom, drawing parallels between gardening practices and spiritual development. We have included an entire slate of video and graphics to make this a success. We also have some blank version for you to make your own content if needed.

Livestream Begins Soon - use this motion graphic to let your audience know their online service is starting. Use it in tandem with the series: When Life Gives You Lemons. Many before us knew the bitter taste life can leave. The scriptures point to people examples we see in the Bible. We see He promises to take the good, bad and ugly and turn it around for His glory and our good. This video can be used as an opener, transitional element, or bumper for your next worship experience.
