Experts are discovering that people learn in various ways, and it’s important preachers take note of this to effectively pass on information. One of the most common ways to learn something is visually, and the following guide will help you with this.
Using Maps
As you take people through the Bible, you may talk about Israel and other regions. You should have a number of maps you can point to when you mention these areas. This will help folks visualize what you’re talking about and retain the information better.
Illustrations
You should use illustrations to convey some of the ideas in your sermons or the scripture. There are good resources online that offer sermon illustrations to help visual learners understand what you’re saying. When choosing sermon illustrations, be sure to test them on others to see if they convey what you’re trying to preach.
Videos
Videos are quite important, especially now that most people absorb information through this medium. Movies, shows, educational videos, and short online clips capture the imagination, so use that to your advantage. Find videos that make your point clearer. Even if it’s just one video, this should be helpful.
Props
Props can also help you preach, but you’ll have to find the right props to connect your point. For example, if you’re preaching about leaving behind a legacy, you can bring a book that is falling apart and a preserved vintage book. Your audience can clearly see which one is preferable.
These are just some ideas that can help you reach your visual learners better. You can talk to other preachers to see what kind of steps their taking to engage people better.
