Emmanuel

Video Illustration

Produced by Rooftop Digital Media

The Son of God chose not to be born in a luxurious palace with the best the Earth had to offer. Instead, we find the creator of our universe humbly entering our world; being born in manger amongst shepherds and animals. He shared in all of our humanity, and through his birth we can see that he is familiar with the messy and imperfect parts of our lives. This mini move is a small reminder that he was, is, and always will be Emmanuel, God with us.

Embracing Change In Autumn

Video Illustration

Produced by Church Fuel

Autumn is a season of change, as the leaves on the trees turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, and eventually fall to the ground. It is a time of transition, as we prepare for the colder months ahead. As we witness the changing of the seasons, we are reminded that change is a natural and necessary part of life. It can be difficult and uncomfortable, but it can also bring growth and new opportunities. As we embrace the changes of autumn, let us trust in God's faithfulness and provision, and find comfort in His unchanging love for us.

The Beautiful Celebration

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

That first Palm Sunday was a day of celebrating what is, with no idea of what’s to come. People cheered for Jesus – a good teacher, a divine prophet, and a miracle worker. But they couldn’t imagine that He would be the fulfillment of a prophecy, heal sin, and show the world what love truly is. This video allows us to join in the chorus of the voices of those on Palm Sunday, celebrating what God has done and what He will do. This video is part of THE BEAUTIFUL EMPTY Easter series.

Use at any point during your Easter series, or as part of a Maundy Thursday service.

This video is based on Luke 23:46 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a Palm Sunday video or sermon illustration on trusting God.

The Valleys

Video Illustration

Produced by Church Fuel

In life, we will all face valleys - seasons of darkness, pain, and uncertainty. These valleys can be some of the most difficult times in our lives, but they can also be times of great growth and transformation. It's in the valleys that we learn to rely on God's strength, to trust in His promises, and to find hope in His unfailing love. Let us not be afraid of the valleys, for they are part of our journey. Instead, let us walk through them with courage and faith, knowing that God is with us every step of the way.

The Glory Of Christmas: Wise Man

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

Tony comes across as a know-it-all to everyone else involved in the church’s production of “The Glory of Christmas.” He shares useless facts with everyone, but when he doesn’t know something, he gets “creative” with his answers. But Tony has the kind of heart that understands where the real treasures are, what they are, who they are, and he understands that the King of Kings came first as a lowly Servant. This video is part of the mockumentary-style series, “The Glory of Christmas.”

Last Words Of Christ: The Rich Young Ruler

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

The rich young ruler expresses his frustration at the fact that Jesus offered eternal life to the thief hanging beside Him on the cross, when he himself had worked so hard to live a good life to earn salvation. He realizes that Jesus offered salvation to the man simply because he asked for it, not because he had done anything to earn it. This video is based on Luke 23:43, and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on salvation.

The Olive Harvest

Video Illustration

Produced by Sourceflix

The prophet Isaiah uses the olive harvest as a metaphor to describe a coming judgment. In his description, the tree is the earth, the beating with rods is God's wrath and the falling olives are people. Isaiah’s message is two-fold, to give strong warning of judgment, but also to bring hope…there will be a remnant…a few olives will remain! The important question then is how can we be part of the remnant? In chapter 53, Isaiah reveals that salvation will come through the coming of a person—one who will take God’s wrath and punishment for sin upon himself.

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.

Last Words Of Christ: The Adulteress (Good Friday)

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

When she stood accused and awaited the consequence of death, the woman caught in adultery encountered Jesus, who showed her mercy. She recounts this story and draws the connection between her own accusers, and those who brought Jesus to the cross. When he shouted, “It is finished,” she remarks that it was not Jesus who was finished, but rather something was accomplished — restored. This video is based on John 19:30 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a Good Friday video or sermon illustration on mercy and restoration.
