 Okay, good morning and welcome to BC314, our class on media and technology in ministry. Can you all hear me okay? And see the video okay? It's all good? Okay. All right. Okay, and somebody please pray and we will get right into the class. Somebody could pray with us, please? Shrikmar? Yes, but... Please pray. Precious Father, we thank you and praise you Father God for this wonderful morning which are given to us. We give you all the glory, honor and praises, my King. Lord Master, as we come together, Father God, unto you we ask you, Father God, fill us with your wisdom, understanding and knowledge, and so that we can able to grasp everything what we are learning today. We can able to, Lord Master, receive every revelation, everything what is connected with this course of God, Master. We can able to receive it from your servant of Father God and we pray that, Father, Lord Master, be useful for building the church, building your kingdom of Father. We humble ourselves for Father God, we cover everything under the precious blood of Jesus. We give you all the glory, honor and praises in Jesus name be prayed. Amen. Thank you. Amen. Thank you. Alright, good morning. Welcome everyone. Yesterday we laid a little groundwork or foundation on two things. One, we said that, yes, we are all open to the idea of using contemporary tools and methods in communicating the word of God and ministering the people because of the obvious advantages that we have. But we also said, you know, there are certain guidelines that we need to observe and be mindful of as we use media and technology, engage with contemporary methods in ministry. Having given that background, we are now going to start getting into the details. We will talk about, you know, the ministry of the word. We'll talk about, you know, the venue and how the church setting itself has changed. And then we'll get into the actual media and technology parts over the course of the coming weeks. And so on. So today, our goal is to just discuss a little bit about the ministry of the word. How that has evolved over time. What we are seeing happen today in the world. And then we want to discuss, which is meaning we talk about it together on, you know, what are the pros and cons? What are the things we should be careful of, you know, as we minister the word to today's generation. And you also, you know, how to think about, let's say the generation that comes after us, you know, when you're ministering to the new generations that are rising. And obviously, there's going to be change in the methods and in the ways in which we communicate timeless truth. What are some things we have to be careful of? So we want to discuss that today. Let me go ahead and just share my screen and then hopefully we'll let's see if I'll be able to play some videos. I'm not too sure, but let's see if that's going to happen. All right, let's OK. So ministering the word. The way the word of God has is being ministered is has changed. And, you know, it's continuously changing, evolving or adapting to the times. Some of the things that we can notice right away is the length of the sermons, you know, the Apostle Paul. Can you all hear me and see the PDF? The Apostle Paul, you know, for example, this example in the Bible says in the book of Acts, he preached all night. And that's a pretty long sermon. You know, he preached through the night and I think the young man's name was Taikika. So somebody, he fell asleep, he fell off the window. So then, of course, you know, he was raised up from the dead. But think about this. Imagine a sermon that's going through the night. And that's a long sermon. Basically Paul says, hey, I'm going to talk to you, just listen. I just went on and on and on and on through the night. Now, if you look at the ministry of Jesus, he was preaching for three days. People were sitting and listening three days. Can you imagine being on the mountainside and Jesus speaking to them for three days? I'm assuming, you know, of course, they must have taken breaks and whatever. But that was the intensity of the ministry that was taking place. And then over time, you know, things have become shorter. So think about during the times of the Puritans, 1400s, 1500s, sermons were typically one to three hours long. Then we had the revival preachers would preach for over an hour today. Generally, not saying all churches, but many churches. The typical preaching of the word would go for 30 to 45 minutes. And in some churches, it's down to 20 minutes. You know, I was actually shocked when in last year, last year in May, I was in May, I was just visiting the U.S. for visiting my daughter then. So we went to service and the service was exactly one hour. Start to finish exactly one hour. Everything was so precise. You know, started on time, so many minutes of worship, sermon exactly maybe 20 minutes, everything. So people came in, people are out in one hour. And I was like, I said, like, you know, here in Bangla, we take 45 minutes just to get warmed up and worship, you know, but it was so, you know, people came in, people moved out. And this was like a big church. So, you know, it's literally a couple of thousand people coming in, couple of thousand within one hour they leave out, except. And so it's interesting how, you know, the services are being run these days. And, you know, the sermon has to be just that much. That's all people can pay attention to. And it's over, you know. And sometimes you wonder, you know, okay, how are you actually going to spiritually build people up, you know, with this kind of approach? And if people are willing to only give you 15 or 20 minutes to listen to the ministry of the word, how are they, how are we going to develop them spiritually, build them up spiritually? You know, it's something, it's a challenge. And think about, you know, what to do about it. But that's where we are. That's where in many churches, that's about all the time they give for the ministry of the word. Not only is there a change in the length of sermons, but there is also a change in the design of the sermon. And you'll find all kinds of variety of this. Typically, typically what used to happen would be a verse by verse exposition of the text. You know, you would take that, you would read the passage, explain it, and then you would bring out the exposition, the exegesis of the text, help people understand it, apply it, so on. And there was, you were starting with the text and then applying it to everyday life. But now there's been a shift. The shift is we start with everyday life. So we start with what people are going through and then we come to the Bible. So there's also a change in the way everything is being ministered. Before the Bible was to focus, this is what the Bible says. We start with the Bible and let's see how to apply it in your situation. Now it's, hey, here's a situation. This is what you're going through. Now let's see where the Bible fits in. So the whole approach has shifted. I'm not saying everybody's doing this. I'm just saying these are some of the trends we are seeing or that the changes that have taken place as people have tried to adapt the ministry of the word to contemporary times, to current times. Also, there is more, there's a change in the format. There is more of storytelling, lots of examples from everyday life. Sometimes there's plenty of jokes and those kinds of things. There is illustration. Sometimes you have dialogues, people sitting on the stage and having a conversation and that becoming this sermon and so on, so forth. And we are seeing that in churches today. And then another thing that we are seeing also is people using a lot of aids. There could be drama, there could be visual aids. And today, you know, we have slides. We have videos, all of those kinds of things being part of the whole communication of the word of God. I'm not saying all of these things are wrong. I'm just saying, you know, these are the things you're seeing happen. These are things we're observing in the ministry of the word. So, so much has changed. You know, in the Apostle Paul, imagine him preaching all night. The people listening to him didn't even have a physical Bible. They had nothing. All they had to do was sit and listen. Paul himself didn't have a physical Bible, right? Because they had scrolls, so Paul may have read the scrolls. But when he was standing in front of the people and talking, he couldn't be opening up to scrolls and, you know, quoting from the scrolls. That probably was not happening. So Paul was there. People were there and he just spoke. No aid, nothing, not even a physical Bible, nothing. Think about that. And then he preached for hours through the night. They all just sat and listened. So think about that. To think about a typical sermon today that may last for 20 minutes. There may be lots of jokes, stories. Everybody has a Bible. People may be watching, you know, listening, having their Bible on the phones and there is LED screens at the back. There's all kinds of graphics, maybe videos playing while the preacher is preaching. It has lasting maybe for 20 minutes. So contrast these two things, you know. It's a huge change from how things were happening to the way things are. Now, I just stuck in these two examples. I mean, very interesting. I don't know if I'm able to play this on the screen. Let me just try and see if that would be, they would just come through for us. They're kind of very interesting. If it works, it works. Otherwise, please forgive me. Let me do this. Can you, can you always hear it? And the pizza guy showing up at your hotel room tonight. Listen. OK. And he's got your pizza, but he doesn't have a box. He's just got it in his hand. And the cheese is oozing down all over his clothes. And it's falling all over the floor. And you don't know where that hand has been. You don't know what he's been doing with that. Come on, somebody. And can you imagine? You know the first question you would ask him, if he was standing there saying, hi, did you order this pepperoni pizza? The first question you would ask is, where is the box? Because I was expecting the product to come in a vessel. I was expecting the product to come in a box. Well, what I want you to understand is this box is only worth $0.39. It's not very valuable. But it takes on a tremendous importance and value because of what is placed in it. I want you to understand that, listen to me, the box does not give value to the product. It's the product that gives value to the box. We're just the vessel. And Christ is in us. And we shouldn't get puffed up when God starts using us. We're just the $0.39 box. What I'm preaching to you is, you don't have to be great. You don't have to be super good looking and look like a movie star. You don't have to be super talented. But you do have to be clean and you have to be empty. And if you'll just be clean and be empty, God says, if you'll give me a vessel, I'll give you a miracle. I'll give you my oil. I'll give you my purpose. I'll give you my will for your life. Can you imagine ordering a peak? OK. So did y'all get to see that? Yes, Father. OK. So what do you think about it? Well, I think, Pastor, based on what we're dealing with, every generation seems to be different. And Jesus, who told us to go preach and teach the Word of God, making disciples of all nations, he didn't give us a specific on how it should be done. But I think us being creative and never neglecting the place of the Holy Spirit in order to ensure that we pass across the message of the scriptures authentically and correctly, I think that's what has been shown here. He's speaking to teenagers and youth. I'm sure he won't talk to them the way he talks to adults. So he had to come to a level where he could simply bring up, pass across the intent of God's Word in a creative way that speaks to that generation or set of group of people, which I believe were teenagers and young people. So I think for us, what we can learn from this is that we shouldn't be rigid on one particular way and then be open to many ways, but never neglecting the place of the Holy Spirit. I think that's something very important. Good thoughts, good thoughts. Yeah, and I see the comments. Powerful, Prabhakar says. Good use of the proverb, Tarun says. Mengi, you want to say something? Thank you. Just to add to what they said, the level of understanding varies from place to place because of the information and human development. So we will preach in a village where they don't have access to internet, they don't have access to information, will definitely be different from how we preach in the city. They had message to be longer because you're trying to explain things. But in the city, people have access to information and the church, people basically know their Bible so it will be different. Yes. Yeah, and I see Sri Kumar's comment. Message delivered in a beautiful way. So this is just a very nice example. This was a very short clip, but very beautiful example where we are communicating timeless truth in a way that is contemporary. So obviously, that particular audience understands pizza and pizza box. Now, we cannot preach that like as Mengi was saying. We cannot take an example like this. Now we can't go out in a village where people have never seen a pizza. They don't know what a pizza is. And they would not relate to this kind of an example. But in that audience, this example is so powerful and it's communicating a biblical truth. The Bible uses the image of a vessel and God filling a VRMT vessels, God calls us to be clean vessels. And God fills us up. So the Bible uses that image. Now, we can use that image today, but using the pizza box was something that was and the pizza and the pizza box was something that connected very easily or readily to a modern audience. The modern audience may understand the vessel and God filling us up and being a clean vessel and being an empty vessel. They probably will understand it. But the pizza and the pizza box is something more closer to home. So this is an example of how communicating to a modern audience, using something that's very relevant to them or examples that are very relevant to them, things that they can relate to. And yet in and through that example, we are presenting God's truth, which in this particular case, he was saying, we need to be clean, we need to be empty, then God will fill us up. But he just used a wonderful example for that. There's another video there that I just put on that page, which is about Francis Chan and the rope. And so I just encourage you to go and have a look at it. And again, it's a very nice, very simple example, but something that the audience relates to. So like this, there's so many, let's just go back to the PDF. And there's so many ways in which, so this rope illustration, I'd encourage you to have a quick look at it. Just a short YouTube video. So there are so many ways that we can communicate God's word using contemporary methods, illustrations, et cetera, to our present day audience. Now, just a few more thoughts, and then we will discuss. So there's also a change in our target audiences, in the sense that there are people who are lost, meaning they don't know the gospel. Then there is the clipping of the saints, meaning this audience is they're already believers. Now, you need to equip them. And then there are people in between who are seeking, so on. So in an attempt to reach these seekers, back in the 1980s, 70s and 80s, and probably not in the 80s, these seeker-sensitive church services became very prominent. And these seeker-sensitive services were geared towards these people in between, who they're open, they're seeking, and we want to reach them. So now, what happened was the service was geared not the typical gospel crusade where you're preaching the gospel to the lost, not to discipling people, but it was geared towards those who are seeking. And so the whole service was geared to this target audience. And it was very effective, in the sense it helped a lot of seekers to come, hear the word of God, in a way that they could understand, and then move them into becoming believers, in Jesus Christ. So seeker to believer, that transition happened very nicely in these seeker-sensitive services. But because churches who adopted seeker-sensitive services were focused on that, which is moving a seeker to becoming a believer, they really could not cater to believers becoming disciples, or disciples being equipped to serve a minister. So that became a huge problem. So what happened? And if you look back in time, so between 1980s, somewhere in the mid-1980s, through to the early part of 2000, there were a lot of churches, of course, primarily the Christian church, and then churches around the world. What up to this seeker-sensitive model? And like we said, those services were effective in moving people from being seeker to believer. But at the end of 30 years, they realized that, hey, Biri, we have not succeeded in helping believers become disciples, and disciples becoming equipped to serve a ministry. So that was the drawback. Then the service was focused towards this kind of an audience. And then this is what happens. Actually, in the early 2000s, Willow Creek Church did a survey after 30 years of doing seeker-sensitive services. And they published a report. That means they did a survey among the people. Their own congregation. Their congregation had grown to more than 15,000 people, one of the larger churches in the US. And of course, many other churches were following that example, the model. But they did a survey among their own people, saying, you've been in church for so many years, and they've been doing that for 30 years now. Where are you spiritually? And the conclusion of that survey was, hey, we succeeded in this part, but we missed out in this whole area. We didn't disciple people effectively. We didn't equip them for ministry effectively. And so then they published that result, their survey. And then they reoriented themselves to emphasizing more on discipling and equipping. So the church has gone through that shift. The church went through that whole phase of the seeker-sensitive services. We have seen the result of it, what worked, what didn't work. But that's been a big learning experience as when the church intensely repositioned itself for our target audience. So that's something to keep in mind. Other things I just want to quickly go through, and then we'll get into some discussion is there have been changes in delivery styles. Whether you preach with the pulpit, without the pulpit, you engage the audience in various ways. You try to get the audience to interact with you, and so on. There's been a change in the preachers attire. And it's pretty obvious we went from very formal clergy attire to more business-type attire to now, in many places, there are absolutely casual attire in the delivery, in the ministry, and so on. And there is change in the physical place of preaching. We'll talk about that next week. That's taken place as well. We've gone from home groups to meeting in sacred places, like church buildings to other kinds of venues. So this whole transition has happened. Now, I am aware, as Maggie pointed out, that a lot of what we're talking about is focused on the urban church and the use of media and contemporary methods and technology for the urban church. We may not be seeing too much of this out in the rural areas, but things are still not so sophisticated, and so on. I understand what we're saying is primarily with the urban church. But with all of these changes that have taken place in the ministry of the word, in the change of the length of the sermons, change of the content of the sermons, change in the way it's being delivered, change in the way it's being, you know, the target people are being, you know, we've gone through that phase and the change of the way the person preaching interacts with the audience and the change of the way the attire, what they wear, when they come up to minister of the word, all of these changes, the questions we should ask is, you know, what are the good things? What are the negative things? And what are the things we should avoid? And, you know, we don't know how all of this is going to evolve in the next five, 10 years. We don't know where this is going to go. You know, there have been some examples online of virtual reality being used for church, where people come in. The congregation is meeting online. People are in avatar forms, sitting and quote, unquote, listening and they're interacting, their avatars are interacting and so on. And so people have carried it all that far. Yeah, we don't know what all people are going to try in the days to come, in the ministry of the word. But I want us to open up for a little bit of time and discussion. We are seeing all these changes happening in the ministry of the word of God. What are the pros and cons? What are the dangers we must avoid? What are the things we must take true to as we go about accommodating or adapting ourselves to the contemporary world? So just feel free to share your thoughts. Yeah, so, yeah, I see Roshan's comment in villages. We need to examples that they will relate to. That's true, different places, different examples. That's right. Okay, so let's just kind of take some time to discuss here. Now, there are all these changes that are happening in the ministry of the word. And we're talking about the urban church, as we are trying to relate to a changing world around us. What are the pros and cons? What are the things we should embrace? What are the things we must be very careful of? What are the dangers we must avoid? And also think about the future because we don't know how things are gonna change in the five, 10 years from now, 15 years from now, how the urban church is gonna change. But I think if we can keep some guidelines for ourselves, 15, 20 years from now, you know, you can make sure that we stay the course. So what are your thoughts? Go ahead, Maggie. Okay, thank you, sir. That was in the recent years, just in church adapting and adopting, I think, like cultures of the world, what pop culture is doing, taking it back into the church, it might seem good at the beginning. I think that's reading of stars and bombs and fire festivals and some churches here they do the color festival, which is Diwali. And so things like that, things that you should avoid bringing to the church because they're not broadly and things that we should adopt. And not adopt, but adapt to its technology. We should be able to keep up with technology because it will help us reach the gospel to the mass. But other things like cultural, cultural we should try to avoid. Thank you. So what Maggie is saying is, we have to be careful as we're adapting to the, you know, wherever we are ministering, things that are cultural, which are not, you know, supported by the word of God and so on, we have to be careful of, but at the same time, yeah, technology and media, which helps us communicate better, we can adapt. So I think Maggie is highlighting the fact that in our being relevant, we should be careful not to let culture, shape and influence what we are presenting. I also see Kennedy's comment, avoid being sensational, seeking a vanity, rating more due to technology that's been gathered by the word and the Holy Spirit, yeah. So avoid being sensational, don't focus on those kinds of things, good, but instead be dependent on the word and the Holy Spirit. Shrikumar, your thoughts? Shrikumar, you wanted to say something? Pastor, am I audible? Yes, go ahead. Okay, thank you, sir. I was saying this, sir, is creativity is good and adapting the technology is also good, but, you know, we should be more led by the Holy Spirit and we should be whichever platform or whichever technology we are using. Through that, we should see that, how much we are impacting the lives of the people and how much we can able to, you know, share that truth in the right way, that people should not take, you know, as the Bible says, they should not become more friendly to the world because that will be quite dangerous because the Bible very clearly says that the friend of the world is enemy to God. So even though we are adapting these things, but we should also tell the, because now all these technologies are common for everyone, but it is also, it's have its good effect and also it's have a bad effect also. So when we are adapting these things, we should also make the use of the people to be careful and so that they can able to know the truth and they should able to stick on the truth of God. That's what I want to share. Thank you, sir. Yeah, so while we adapt these or make use of these technologies and platforms, I think what Shri Kumar is saying is, you have to be careful that people shouldn't take that and then go off into some wrong area, you know, using that same platform, take an example, okay, we are using YouTube. Yeah, we're using it as a platform, wonderful. But that same platform has a lot of junk, things that people shouldn't be watching and so they should not misunderstand or misinterpret our use of that platform as a license to go into anything on the platform. So I guess that's a very valid point. Roshan, please go ahead. One of the things that is, I mean, we are currently seeing as well, that is with the advancement of media and technology. There are people who get comfortable thinking that they can only have services online and they start ignoring meeting one on one and face to face. So I think that needs to be emphasized through the tools that we use in media and technology that this is not the real service, it's just a platform to get God's word to you also and tell them to be part, you know, some church or some services because people, or even if our members are watching through online. There are some people as you said, as you mentioned that some are using avatar and all that. So they should not feel that this is the latest technology and this is how we meet and have church. So we have to emphasize on that as well. Thank you, Pastor. Right, right. So that personal fellowship, personal interaction, joining together is important while we use, you know, we are making this, it's a convenience, it's a tool we're using. Good. I see Kennedy's comment, do everything in truth and love based on the word. Good. Okay, let me just share a few more thoughts here, you know, in the current day ministry of the word, we are observing and this is something I have seen in one particular setting is that the preacher in their attempt to be very casual in preaching, preachers are actually using foul language. Yeah, it's very open. Now, what do you think will happen in the congregation? The congregation are also just, they're very comfortable using foul language, right? No. And these are like renowned preachers, you know, like, you know, just some, nobody. So these are people who have influence, who have, you know, quote unquote, big churches and so on. And, but in their preaching, they have so much influence, not only in the physical congregation, even online, but, you know, they use very, you know, a very rough language and they're preaching. Now, people, the congregation loves, hey, the pastor is using these kinds of words and all that, but preaching. But what happens next is everybody in the congregation follows the pastor in that example. And it's just become so accepted in that kind, that particular setting of the Christian church, right? So I'm highlighting this because, look, we are ministering the word of God. It has to be handled with reverence. This is God's word. And then the preacher being so casual and so, you know, loose in the words has its effect on the congregation because people then think it's okay. They begin to do the same thing. And it's just results in, you know, both the preacher and the congregation not portraying something that's honorable before God. But it is happening and it's becoming more and more accepted in, you know, that segment of the Christian church. And that's a dangerous thing that, you know, we can observe and we should avoid. Maggie, your thoughts, go ahead. Thank you, sir. Someone spoke in on about the avatar and the danger of that at people meeting online. I'll just, the subject came to my mind. So we as believers and preachers, we are not going to stop people from meeting online. I believe we should look what is the best way to assist those people because they all meet online anyway. So Facebook's making a plan for people to start the whole world to use avatar. So the best thing we can do, I believe, is to see how the church can adapt to that change and influence, be able to influence whatever happens in there. Because there will people be meeting online, churches will be meeting online, some churches. So what do you think? People who understand and go another way to be able to teach and keep them focused on Jesus. That's what I think. Good idea. I'll not tell you more. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thanks for sharing, Maggie. So basically what Maggie's saying is, look, we can't make this go away, right? We can't make the fact that there is this whole online community that people are going to meet online. We can't make it go away, of course. People are going to do that. But to the best we can, we engage them meaningfully. Those who are meeting online, engage them meaningfully in the online space and try to get the word of God into them in the online space. Because there will always be people engaging that way. And that's a good thought, good idea. Okay, so let me wrap up now with a few words here. So as we are relating to a contemporary world and adapting the ministry of the word to the audience that we are ministering to, which is acceptable. It's a something wrong with it. It's a good thing to do and maybe a necessary thing to do because we need to speak the language of the people. We need to minister to the word of God in a way that they can relate to and embrace. We need to differently use the channels and the mediums, the tools that they connect with. All of that is acceptable. Yes, maybe necessary. But while we do that, as ministers of the word, we have to be careful about our own personal example. In the way we preach, in the way we present ourselves and the way we carry ourselves because people are not only hearing what we're saying, they are watching who we are, how we speak, how we conduct ourselves. And that is also influencing them, their lives. So as ministers of the word, we have to be very careful in that respect. The second thing is we must, especially when we're ministering to believers, we must not dilute or compromise the ministry of the word, the content of the word. Like Paul writes repeatedly to Timothy, he says, teach sound doctrine. So sure, you use the tools that we have today. If you use the medium or the audio, the video, the slide presentation, and yeah, you engage all of that very nicely. Do the best you can with all of that. Very good use contemporary examples, very good. But while we do all that, sound doctrine, sound teaching must be brought into the lives of people. If the danger we must avoid is to leave out sound doctrine. If you leave out sound teaching of the word of God, while we are engaging with all this, we are preoccupied with all of these things, eventually the people will not be established in truth. They'll not be established in the word, right? So that's something we must be very conscious about. That is, while we are using all of these things, in the ministry of the word, you can, you know, you can wear t-shirt and jeans if that you want to, you wear a suit if you want to, whatever is relevant and useful for your, for where you are. That's fine. You're not going to argue on that. But what is being ministered to the people? In the ministry of the word, are you bringing sound doctrine to the church? That's important. Whether you use media or whatever, okay, all of that is fine. But make sure that people are established in the whole counsel of God. So if we are careful of these two things, the way I conduct myself, because that also impacts people and what I do communicate, I need to communicate sound teaching. Well, I use all of these things. So if we can keep these two as our guideposts in the ministry of the word, while we're adapting to, you know, whatever things are changing around us, I think, you know, we will do well. We will be able to continue to disciple people, continue to equip people, continue to nurture people. And that's the heart of God, right? The reason he has put us in the church is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the full measure of the stature of Christ. So as long as we're achieving that objective, we are free to use these tools and adapt and, you know, present. So all of that is fine. Is that okay? I hope all of us are in agreement with that. Next week, we will just talk a little bit about, you know, how the venues have changed and the way people are reaching out. We'll talk about satellite churches and how we're using technology to connect physical spaces. We'll just have a look at that. And then we'll begin to move into various aspects of media and technology, okay? God bless. Let's wrap up, let's pray together and we will dismiss. May I request somebody to close and pray please?
