Video Script: Revolutionary

Revolutionary Jesus from CCV on Vimeo.



I was asked to create four edgy and sort of sarcstic trailers to promote the Revolutionary sermons. In the end due to lack of production time, the four scripts were condensed and only one video was created. This was a fun project!

REVOLUTIONARY CHRIST
It’s a fact that the little baby born in a manger is the same boy who grew up to revolutionize (impact or shake up) the world.

If your perception of Jesus is the gentle and meek man always holding a fuzzy little lamb, you’re wrong (you’ve got the wrong dude).

According to the Bible, Jesus was anything but meek and mild, he was created to change hearts, refocus minds, and restore a fallen society no matter the cost.

He’s the head honcho who does what he says. You can’t find another man in history with a better track record.

Jesus is calling you to be a revolutionary. Are you ready?



REVOLUTIONARY CHRISTIAN
So your idea of a typical churchgoer looks like this: dressed to the hilt with a suit and tie, clean shaven, no tattoos and definitely no body piercings. Joe “the churchgoer” is irrelevant, boring, and a modern-day goody two-shoes. It appears that Joe has it all together…that he’s almost perfect.

But Jesus isn’t about seeking out perfect people. He wants the rough and tumble AND the clean and sophisticated. He wants them all!

Jesus hung out with the outcasts, healed diseases, and cast out demons…all in a day’s work. This guy knew how to be bold and thought-provoking, he knew when to be quiet or when to speak up, and he led by example all the time. And guess what, he wants you to do the same!

Jesus is calling you to be a revolutionary. Are you ready?



REVOLUTIONARY CHURCH
So odds are you are part of the 15% who faithfully attend church every weekend in America. It’s just a part of life. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Lately, the church as a whole has been given a bad rap. Maybe we deserve it, maybe we don’t. One thing for sure is that the time has come to break away from the traditional ways of doing things in order to attract the missing 85%.

The un-churched are eager to let their voices be heard, so why don’t you?

You can no longer be a bench warmer. Now is the time to speak up and lead with a vengeance.

Jesus is calling you to be a revolutionary. Are you ready?


REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNITY
So your neighbor down the street with the annoying dog just lost his job. You feel for him and even offer up a prayer or two on his behalf.

Suddenly you remember a verse about bearing one another’s burdens. You decide to not just pray, but to bring over a warm meal for your neighbor and his family. In fact, you even go out on a limb and invite him to church. Now that’s community!

Next thing you know, your neighbor with the annoying dog is helping out the old lady across the street with her yardwork. See how the momentum keeps going?

It takes one man to step up and make an impact…A few men to band together to impact a neighborhood…And one neighborhood to impact a community.

Are you ready to man up?

Jesus is calling you to be a revolutionary. Get ready!
