I read a great blog (Click Here) talking about what churches need to be doing instead of re-arranging chairs on the Titanic. The author said we need to figure out what story we are trying to tell, and make sure that we tell it in a relevant way. Movies are stories, TV episodes are stories, even the news is a story. You probably use stories when you preach, and Jesus used story. The Greatest Story Ever Told – Christ dying on the cross for us… so when it comes to churches we better get our story straight. Then tell it. Again and again…
As a new church plant, we are working diligently on what our story is. What is your story?

I was recently in Texas last year at a church that was trying to get its message out and they did this by collecting talks, speaches and dare I say it (sermons) about loads of topics like…
Raising teenage children,
Bringing non christians business owners into the church,
The seven elements on having a happy marriage.
All of these were recorded and stored on a website for people to buy and subscribe to via podcasting.
They solved many requirement in this way of getting their messages out – and – they were able to raise a substantial amount of money in the process.
money which could be used by the church.
The above initiative may help in getting your churches messages out to where they are needed.
