Tip Of The Week – Pray For Clear Vision

With all that your congregation is up against; a bad economy, health risks, job insecurity and violence around the world, we need to pray that they have a clear vision that God is in control. More than ever, people need to see that God’s economy is not of this world and what He values is not what most value.

Our treasure in heaven is the knowledge that God loved us enough to send His only Son that we might have life well beyond these current problems and temporal crises. We need to see that our value to God is priceless.

If you haven’t seen our new video “Priceless”, take a look at it here.

Tip Of The Week – Simple PowerPoint Design

Microsoft PowerPoint has quite a few features that allow you to add a lot of “whiz-bang” to your presentation designs. Unfortunately, too many people take advantage of all of the features in one presentation. Simple is best, but simplicity without being boring is the balance you want to create. Using an video background slide to provide interest rather than animating the words as they come up on the page is a good example of simple, but not boring. Rich background static slides as opposed to color changing features is another way to be simple, but interesting. Sharefaith has thousands of images to help you make simple, effective presentations for your worship, announcements and sermons.

Tip of the Week – Practice Makes Perfect

It’s an old saying, but “Practice Makes Perfect” is still used today to encourage those who need some improvement to spend the time it takes in practice to make performance better. While worship is in some ways spontaneous, the Worship Leader can facilitate more spontaneity by being entirely prepared with the music. From the tech, to the instruments, to the vocalists, spend more time in practice than you do in front of your congregation. Worship is not a performance, but it is honoring to God to be fully prepared and will allow the Spirit to lead if the worship leaders don’t have to be focused so much on learning by doing.
