There's something about a good video. If it possesses clarity, passion, and vividness, it can be deeply meaningful. We've all watched films or shows that have made us laugh, or cry, or learn something important about life. FaithVisuals.com contains hundreds of meaningful videos created specifically for the Church. Some tell stories or can illustrate points of a sermon; others draw you deeper into worship or teach important biblical themes.

I'm pleased to present our 1st Annual Top 10 Videos List. These are the videos downloaded most often, and they give you a flavor for what you can find on the site:

		Discovering Spiritual Disciplines Explore the real purposes of spiritual disciplines like Bible study, prayer, fasting, and solitude in this nine-session video seminar by Richard Foster, John Ortberg, and George Barna.
		Cheerful Giver What are people really thinking as the offering plate goes down the pew? A great springboard into a sermon or discussion on giving.
		O Come O Come Emmanuel A worship video using art from numerous cultures that expresses the longing for Christ that is shared around the world.
		Are You Ready? Surrounding us is the glorious mystery of a partnership with God. The life that was designed for you awaits. Only one question remains: Are you ready?
		Who Is Jesus? Is Jesus a prophet, a savior, a manipulative story, or perhaps just a concept? Students explain their views on Jesus and how their perspectives impact their lives.
		Holy Holy Holy A worship video that uses images of the temple, nature, and worldwide worship to illustrate the holiness of God.
		Your Kingdom Come Throughout history, God's people have had to make hard decisions in order to follow Jesus. This video looks at people who made choices that impacted the world.
		Do You Pray? Does the average person pray? In this person-on-the-street interview, people explain why they pray and what they pray for.
		Heart of God In this video powerful words of missionary leaders will penetrate hearts. A must-have for any service emphasizing the Great Commission.
		Absolute Truth Is truth relative? With this video you'll see that unfortunately, most people think so.
