Is this a video with moving circles or a photo illusion?

Is the circular drawing in the center a perfect circle?

This weekend we brought back a video blast from the past and showed an oldie but goodie.

3 Years ago right before thanksgiving we went out and ambushed people with free pie. I LOVE PIE!!!

It was amazing to see how people start out so skeptical….Then this simple act of kindness completely changes their day.

In anticipation of our new series - “Christmas Illusions” starting December 6 + 7….I’m going to post a new illusion picture every weekend until then.
Here’s the first….Are the lines parallel or not?

http://www.freefoto.com is a site I just came across and
is made up of 123340 images with 157 sections organized into 3400 categories. It is the largest collection of free photographs on the Internet.

The great thing about it is non-commercial users may download their web size images to use off-line in - among other things…church services.

Enjoy. More free resources to come.

The lights blinded white as the band breaks down to the crowd singing out to God “You are the everlasting God.”
This was the setting during the last song of our worship set this past weekend when….

No this wasn’t some technical mishap. This took planning and strategic creativity to pull off. Buddy followed by asking some tough questions…”If there were no lights, no music, no HD video screens, no coffee…Would you still come to Northway Church?” These things are all culturally relevant methods to help reach people for Christ’s kingdom, but the culture cannot eclipse the creator…Culture is just the vehicle…Christ is the brand.

This weekend Buddy talked about how we cannot put the method we reach people (aka: culture) above the message. Culture is just a vehicle. Christ is the Brand. More on that in a later post.

I have been to lots of different types of churches.
Lots of different styles, lots of different traditions, lots of different people
I don’t think I would classify any of the differences as wrong. God is using them all to advance his kingdom.

I thought I had seen it all and then I read this article. Worshiping robots?

We continually get requests for our resources at Northway, and from time to time, we think there is some stuff that people could use, and we want to get it out there.
See below for links to our resources for the series, “Hello, My Name is God.” It was an incredible series, and we hope these resources will benefit you. So, watch…spread the word…and enjoy!

I usually try to focus on producing the film side of our productions but this was one of my rare dabbles in After Effects. Kids rooms are great for chroma keying as one of them usually has a bright green wall. That tip is free…Maybe I’ll charge for the next one.

Anytime I come across free media available for download I’ll be posting links here. My goal for this blog is for it to become a portal to resources and knowledge that can help you more effectively reach people for Christ.

Just came across this site that has some free media resources…Not a ton, but you can eat the chicken and spit out the bones.
