The Bitstrip Sermon Series

If you’ve been on Facebook for the last year, then you’ve probably seen the self-made comics called “Bitstrips” where you make an character of yourself and it is placed in different comic strip panes where you can edit the text. It is designed to be for fun.

There was a time when I saw someone post about how to use Bitstrips for ministry. I seem to remember that it was more about making announcements of events and things of that nature.

My First "Preaching" Bitstrip
My First “Preaching” Bitstrip

One Sunday morning, I made a Bitstrip of me standing behind a podium as if I was preaching. Since that first “preaching” comic, I have continued to post a Bitstrip message on Sunday mornings, sharing a short passage of Scripture and then a small thought (there are only so many characters you can use). There is also an occasional throughout the week.

My plan is to take that small Bitstrip and use it to as an intro to a blog post giving more of a message than the one brief one in the Bitstrip.

Have you noticed that people like to post pictures and use them as a reference on social media sites?

Using Bitstrips, and similar means, helps get the message of Jesus out to people you are already engaged with online. It is an audience that you have generated, people you already have a a connection.

Via the internet, we have an amazing opportunity to share Jesus with others. Yes, it is okay to use Bitstrips just for fun. The question I would have for you is, do the posts you make draw people to God, or do they draw them to yourself? Jesus instructed His disciples to make disciples of all nations? There has never been a greater opportunity to do that. How are you using social media to share the Gospel?
