Media Outreach

Have you considered being unpredictable? Often in churches, we can get into routines and habits. And at times, those routines and habits can numb people a bit. Sometimes, being unpredictable, can really drive home what you are trying to communicate. For instance, I was speaking one time about the importance of embracing the whole direction of the Bible and not just the verses we were fine with. And so I suggested if we weren’t really going to follow the whole word of God, we might as well tear out those verses we aren’t going to obey. And at that, I tore a piece of paper, making it look like I ripped a page out of my Bible. Unpredictable.

Here is another example. You probably have lots of babies and most of those babies probably get their diaper changed. Have you ever thought of putting some kind of sticker on the diaper. Maybe even this verse “Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed.  I Cor 15:51″. It’s a simple, yet unpredictable way of communicating that the baby’s diaper was changed.

How about your order of service? If you are speaking about worship, why not preach at the front of the service and have people practice what you are preaching at the back end of the service?

The point is, when you are unpredictable, it will more than likely be a bit more memorable. You are delivering the  most amazing and important message on the planet. Being unpredictable gives you a better shot at making that message stick.
