Free Video Teaching for Churches

“High-quality video teaching for churches everywhere… for free!” That’s the claim from videoteaching.com – a website recently launched by LifeChurch.tv. I hope that it will be a useful resource for preaching Jesus. Check out the about page. What do you think?

www.videoteaching.com

They have 14 preachers providing sermons from their church to share on the site: 4 of them I know and like; a whole bunch I don’t know well enough to comment; and then there’s some who are a bit sketchy. Here’s the full list:

  • Mark Batterson
  • Francis Chan
  • Wayne Cordeiro
  • Mark Driscoll
  • Jentzen Franklin
  • Steven Furtick
  • Scotty Gibbons
  • Craig Groeschel
  • Brian Houston
  • Clayton King
  • John Lindell
  • Perry Noble
  • Dino Rizzo
  • Paul Scanlon

RICE Revolution + Working Bee

On Saturday there were two RICE events: RICE Revolution – a big gee up for high schoolers to be on mission to their schools; and RICE Youth Sydney Working Bee – a training and prep event for leaders getting ready for RICE Fever and RICE Rally.

I spoke to the Leaders in the morning about being the type of leader God wants from Mark 10. I ran a workshop in the arvo with the year 10-12’s about being local missionaries.

Break it Down #12

Hey blog dogs. Slow on the posting front lately. I’ve been: hanging with my family; tweeting like a ninja; making websites (stay tuned for a major pimping out of my design portfolio with projects from this year…); rockin’ out at weddings; and chillin’ with lots of homies. Coming up: 4 sermons this week (1 tonight, 2 next saturday, 1 next sunday); essay on Nicodemus; Philosophy exam (missed it with birth of Sam); launch of some online ventures; and some stuff and things.

The video above will rock your world. Bananas are my favourite food. This video changes everything. Seriously. Shout out to clever little monkeys and Britney. (h/t human3rror)

Seth Godin on the tribes we lead

Seth Godin is one of my favourite bloggers. He’s an entrepreneur and internet marketing ninja. I regularly read and link to him. Here’s his talk from TED earlier this year:

“Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges us to do so.”

This gear is really valuable in thinking through church, gathering people, church planting, movements and the like. Download his book “Tribes” in audiobook format for free.
