DON'T Publish Your Church's Sermons On YouTube! 

I love this, God Bless You 🥳

Very good explanation

DELIVERED FROM CARTOON DEMONS - TESTIMONY vgh ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qSASFNWH_9s.html

You're already set! 😂

LOL...Get in and out. Don't need a Sermon on the Mount.

That’s awesome! You could use this same technique to turn 15 min sermons into 3 min TikToks and reach even more people.

Enjoy the video, David!

Our pleasure!

Am only getting the 15 minutes videos from elevation. Been wondering where the whole sermon was. I get it now.

So all growing financially strong churches should employ digital engineers?

@@Brick1978 I'm not sure how to answer that, I'm not a digital engineer. I wear a lot of hats, managing RU-vid has become one of them.

I bought is was view that are watching you sermons and it has nothing to do with blessings

That’s right! A sad, sad Niners fan 😂

Appreciate the support, Chris 🙏

@@prochurchtools Absolutely.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It’s a fair question. It’s a pretty common strategy we see across podcast channels of all sizes. Which are a pretty good analog for our churches in this respect. So I wouldn’t fret.

You mean like having ' Come get vaxed" in the sanctuary? Cause "Jesus would get vaxed". A church that adapts to cultural trends is a church that is compromised and dead. Example..."There is a flu virus on the loose, close your doors, no worship, no singing". And all the ":so called" churches comply. Sickening.

@@waywardspirit7898 Not sure I follow your reasoning/example. However, so that there is no confusion in what I meant, I will explain… If you study the life of Jesus as he progressed through his earthly ministry (Galilean and Judean) you will see Him adapting to the culture at the time in order to spread the word. Culturally, Galilee and Judea were two different places. If we, the Church, are going to reach the lost then we must willing to go and meet them where they are (ie the Samaritan woman at the well). The Jews during that time would never associate with a Samaritan but Jesus did. He adapted without comprising His holiness. We can do the same. So, taking that same concept today, we must find creative ways to reach the lost sheep. Simply sticking to old/time tested methods (I.e. preaching from the pulpit) isn’t the “only way” to share the Good News. As born again Christians, we are in the world but are “apart” from the world. Find creative ways to use the tools/platforms in the world for God’s glory without sacrificing your faith. That’s my point. 😃. Blessings.

@@Mindset4Excellence Yes. Agreed. My issue is with churches that become part of the world in order to reach the lost. Which is most of em.

@@waywardspirit7898 I totally agree! It can become a sloppy slope that gets many churches in trouble. Since “a servant can’t serve two masters” (God vs the things of the world/flesh) we must constantly be on-guard, examining our hearts and true intentions behind everything we do lest we fall into worldly temptation. But fortunately, even when we do mess up, we have a gracious Father who loves and forgives us if/when we repent with “sincerity”.

Church is for people who are already saved. We have such a backwards view on this. Where is the evangelist and the pastor for the equipping of the Saints for the work of the ministry? Are churches teaching their people to share the gospel? Or is it just about inviting our unsaved friends to church so our pastor maybe share the gospel in some water down way?

Great to have you.

Have you ever quoted a Bible verse without sharing the entire chapter? Or a chapter without the whole book? Have you ever shared a quote from a sermon or book? Context is crucial of course. But the idea that a complete/profound thought can't exist unless the entirety of the source material is't also shared doesn't track for me.

@@prochurchtools yeah I follow you there. Have definitely done each of those things. I’ll need to wrestle with and chew on this more. Something feels off about feeding clip culture. I’ve seen many of people take clips of sermons to witch hunt preachers. Not that I’m immune to that happening, I’d hope people would do their due diligence to listen to the whole message and main idea.

Some of the most effective preaching in days gone by were 15 minutes long on AM radio like KXEL and other 50,000 watt powerhouses! RW Schambach took his 50 minute to an hour message and listeners were sure to try and catch the next broadcast where he would start out with go with me to a service already in progress and his message to be continued ended with some shout glory! It worked then and it’s no surprise that 15 minutes or thereabouts is still in vogue!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

That's why the solution is both!

Same here!

Great to have you, Gina 🙏

Great insight.

This has nothing to do with the topic of the video, and there's no real need to cry out to us Kenneth... cry out to God about it.

!!!

@@zzzzz4203 actually the point is, since churches don’t preach rightly anyways, they shouldn’t be posting them on RU-vid to begin with. Or the internet or anywhere.

@@kennethfraire8152 Again, this has nothing to do with the video. It's your point, not the video's point. Talk to the Lord about if you like friend, we can't stop people from posting erroneous videos, but God can.

Must have a taken a while to watch every church that has a youtube channel . 😉

You're welcome!

And reaches different *types* of viewers as well. Search optimization aside, plenty of folks don't watch long-form videos. So by only posting long videos, you're limiting your audience based on viewer habits.

That’s just our studio!

@@prochurchtools Nice! It matches your authenticity!

You're welcome!

Yeah, that sounds perfect to me.

Give about 48 hours between each post to give the algorithm time to "learn" your video and find viewers looking for your content.

You could possibly use RU-vid shorts (

TB,......You have failed to understand that your church and every church is apostate from God and Biblical truth. What you, (the entire church) is selling is a 100% fake christianity. The church, the whole entire thing is nothing more than a den of thieves. You are all enemies of God and are in the business of the buying and selling of a 100% fake christianity. You are all the Godless people of the Godless world, (the beast) and only those who are marked by the Godless world, (the beast) as you are can buy and sell your fake manmade antichrist christianity. Those few who have been sealed by God have nothing whatsoever to do with the church. The church is filled with and is for the Godless people of the world. God has sanctified, (separated) the actual Christians from the apostate church and its fake christianity. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Post them to the same channel!

I wouldn't advise doing this for podcast. Because most podcasts are already long-form and you won't benefit from the discovery and recommendation rankings with a podcast like you can with RU-vid. As for your concern about the repurposed content, this was something I worried about for a long time. Especially as a newer creator, I always felt like I needed to publish something new and never revisit or repost. There's a balance in there to strike, but you should net more viewers overall with this strategy.

Use playlists to separate your content. Playlists are treated just like videos by RU-vid, they get suggested as well as individual videos.

This is what Christian radio stations have been doing for the longest time, both in the US and in other countries, most notably Haven Today and Desiring God. They tend to divide a sermon into two or three, then broadcast them via radio within a 30 minute block time.

*changed out

Consider listening at half speed -- for meditation on the truths. 😁

@@chaddonal4331 I will just go back and rewatch if something provokes me to thought

I have been watching videos at 2x for years and I find I follow stream of consciousness videos (i.e. unscripted) much better. Polished and scripted videos I might slow down to about 1.5. People tend to use alot of filler words when making their point so speeding up the video is actually better for comprehension.

Both is the ideal solution. Not either/or.

Same here

Keep posting it brother Gods Word is powerful and profitable!!!!!

Blue Jays fan from Toronto. Also, a Niners fan. No Canadian NFL team so when I was living near the west coast of Canada in Bible College I chose the Niners as my NFL team.

@@prochurchtools btw Brady, I noticed you said you'd leave the link to your video covering "hooks" in the description but couldn't find it. I did a bit of digging and found it in your "How REAL churches actually grow on IG and TikTok". Found it really valuable so wanted to make sure you updated your description.

Yeah, absolutely: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yy892VhB4jU.html

Thanks man!! I appreciate the content you are producing, keep up the good work!!

Yes, i have the same question. How do we extract clips from our RU-vid videos and turn it into a separate shorter video?

If there is someone at your church who knows how to use Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere (or even iMovie), those programs are popular choices. If not, a really simple option you can use is RU-vid's own editing tool! You can look up videos on how to use RU-vid editor tool and you'll be able to use those instructions to get clips from a longer message. 😊

@@AliciaReneeGreer Thank you so much for your great help. I do appreciate it!

Yep!

I'm guessing that is what Steven Crowder does when I see 5-6 minute clips from his super long episodes.

'Don't publish your sermons on RU-vid the way every church does it - do it this way instead.'

Acne Studios

Yeah, it's just last week's video. You can find it on our channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CXh2j7Q_xIc.html

Personally, if a church wants to archive sermons (and/or livestream services) and still try to have a digital ministry on-ramp via RU-vid, optimally I'd do a different channel for each because sermons and/or whole services are not really tailored for communicating on RU-vid.

Google!

Their brand colors compared to how they choose to upload their videos - irrespective of theological choices which are irrelevant to this specific discussion.

@@prochurchtools - I know - I get it. Again, nevertheless - just yikes. And, we're prolly gonna try out this technique with our Church, too.

I got tagged in a tweet just last week by a church that had a person find them online, get connected, then fly to their campus to be baptized. Posting a sermon or sermon excerpt on RU-vid doesn’t makeup the entirety of a ministry - but it can play a powerful role nonetheless.

Drop it!

I agree with R ... this is another method of modifying our belief system, change the way it is presented to match the culture. God will not ask about how many views the church got. He will ask about your evangelizing methods. Did your church reach out to as many as it could as often as it could. WE do not save anyone. We do however share our faith and again, let the Holy Spirit do His work. To espouse a focus on outcomes is backwards. God probably would prefer to have a church to be 180 degrees out from how culture acts or receives information than try to make itself acceptable. What did Peter do after being beaten and told to stay away from the temple. He went right back to work and did not modify his approach. Neither should any church at any time. Easy believing... not biblical ever. One last thing, the epistles and the Old Testament were not made easier to read to meet the needs of those who were illiterate. God's word alone is powerful enough on its own.

Churches are already only preaching for 20-30 mins

I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Look at the popularity of podcasts-people are willing to listen to podcasts that are one, two, three hours or longer.

@@derekatkins4800 I sure wouldn't. Even at 2X speed. I have a job. I have a life.

Too bad our graduate diplomas did not come with a short attention Spand lol
