Session Description
The central question is "does it serve the Gospel?" The temptation to add cute or cool videos or anecdotes should be reflected upon and these should only be added if they serve the Gospel. Preaching is incarnational - we are listening to human beings out of a human experience. Visual aids cannot be used to make up for a weak sermon. The emphasis should always be on the sermon, not on the visual aids.
