Pastors Take Note: With little more than one hour, here’s how Pastor Noel Keikkinen got sermon video

Super-wife and I decided to attend last Saturday night’s service at Riverview Church in Holt, MI.  The auditorium was packed with at least 500 worshippers who were half our age.

There was an incredible energy in the church where the music vibrated the hot, flavored coffee in my hand.  It was almost like the Holy Spirit had one too many Red Bulls before the service.

The teaching came from Pastor Noel Heikkinen who taught about fear and how to deal with it. 

A video highlight illustrating the sermon was taken about an hour-and-a-half before the sermon.  Pastor Noel took a buddy with a Vette who drove through the church parking lot and just behind him with tires squealing and smoking.  He made the point.

In his blog post about making the video, he tells about how he used his iPhone to edit it just before the service.  He says process took about 15 minutes.  This is his effort as shown on YouTube:

    I’m really impressed now that I know he shot and edited that with his iPhone. My Treo could not handle such a project…it would sooner blow up before making anything that spectacular! Great seeing you and Gladys on Saturday and Sunday!

    Father Jack–I too am impressed with his iPhone effort. He really demonstrated how quickly these tools can be used to touch several hundred during a sermon. There are tools that you can pull out of the toolbox to do similar things at CTK and to weave its community closer together. We enjoyed seeing you too Saturday and Sunday.
