For sure, something like that would help keep the youth group interested, but I suspect quite a few others would get the message better than they would otherwise as well. For those who really couldn't care less about visuals, they still hear the words. Good learning theory says do everything you can to reach your entire audience. And you do that. Keep up the good work, Tim. I really like that you use visuals!

Thanks for putting in the effort. Should you be interested, the sermon outline is here: http://sermoncentral.com/sermon.asp?SermonID=65410 (Can't believe it's been 5 years since I preached that!)

Apparently the comment system doesn't allow for embedded images, probably a good choice. Now you're just going to have to use your imagination! Well, drat!

Here's what I came up with. (Mind you, I didn't spend long on this, so these slides are far from polished.) At the disco, but I skipped the church/island: A little text, "I see…" Which builds into these images: There's only one photo of a person involved. The others are emblematic of the poor choices that would happen in such a setting, and I think I found a nice image implying a prostitute without being too suggestive! A little more text, "God sees…" Wrapping up with: "Awww!" Actually, I think I like your lamb better, but I was just skimming for images! So there's how I would have presented the same point. I'm not suggesting one approach is necessarily better, but I always find it beneficial to see how others would tackle the same content. Best regards! I see your point with the photos.

To me the use of photos of real people could be a bit degrading for them, going against the message of the sermon. Some would debate that, of course. And I guess you're right; it was especially the image of the prostitute that stumped me. Actually, the use of cartoon images was intentional.

People have gut reactions to imagery that they generally don't have to mere words. They engage the emotions more strongly than many of us are able to do verbally (few exceptions aside). Stylistically, instead of placing Clip Art on top of the image of the disco. I would have created separate slides with a photograph that unmistakeably depicted the "unsavory" types. (Of course, that could have been tricky with the prostitute.) I might just have to try that! I'll share the results when I get done!
