Return to list of sermons from Mark
TITLE: Audio, Visual or Kinetic
TEXT: Mark 4:21-25
PROPOSITION: We have three primary ways to learn and receive information.
QUESTION: How?
KEY WORD: Methods
SCRIPTURE READING: Same
INTRODUCTION:
- Have you noticed - people learn in different ways
- To communicate the gospel - we must teach in three ways.
People are:
Audio (hearing) - hear a lecture & understand
Visual (seeing) - see a demonstration & understand
Kinetic (touching)- hands on, actual doing it & understand
Illustration of repairing my car - read manual, see photos, under the hood
How to tell which you are:
Terms - “I see” - “I hear you” - “I get it”
Questions - Do you hear? Do you see what I am saying? Got a handle on it?
We are a mixture - but usually one will be dominant
In my sermons:
Talk - lecture, explain
Body language, motion, walk, wave arms, facial expressions
Action - turn to passage, look up, nod your head
In our text:
Audio - (23-24a) - How you hear [Luke 8:18 - What you hear]
Visual - (21-22) - Candle under a basket
Kinetic - (24b-25) - physical, material (he that has, has not, taken from him)
In Jesus ministry:
Audio - preaching, teaching, sermons
Visual - parables - painted pictures of sound and motion
Kinetic - miracles touched lives, touched, sat child on lap, baptized
In our homes (training our children):
Tell, talk, lecture
Show, set example, let them see
Do - guide them step by step
In Evangelism:
Audio - Talk, study, tape of a sermon
Visual - Show them your life, example
Kinetic - Take them
Application:
Audio - We must TELL people about Jesus
Visual - We must let them SEE Jesus in us
Kinetic - We must allow them to EXPIERENCE Jesus in their life
