the second chance

God continues to reach... again and again. "Just one more time... Just one more time." God longs for us to unite with him. when we're united - we're tied to Him. switch around the letters though... move the 'i' in united and you get... untied. united. untied. when i move... the bond is broken... but God's hand is outstretched as if to say "Please, let's try again." ©2012 creative kerygma / tim beck videos a simple video with a simple message.

old nature / new nature

how do you identify yourself?



at some point we all struggle with our identity.

who are we really?


labels stick to us like a badge of dishonor - given to us by ourselves or by others…
imperfections and feelings of self worth consume our thoughts
where do we find our true identity?
but what if we were willing to cast off the old nature and embraced something new…
renewed in the knowledge that we were made in the image of God.
we can be made new again.


[i made this video with some of my students. based on the theme of Identity and Colossians 3:1-17

prov. 3:7-10. Are we giving our firstfruits to God? are we giving Him the best? or are we giving Him the crumbs... the scraps...

Advent: Wait... the prince of peace is coming.

introducing: Creative Kerygma

i've been making videos for a while now. i've dabbled in making worship-related videos over the last few years as well. so i thought it was about time to start sharing my creations with others.

we recently started a new alternative worship service called Kaleidoscope. the idea behind the name is 'broken pieces made beautiful.' when you look through a k-scope, you'll see fragmented glass or plastic - that when turned and pointed towards the light, something beautiful is created and formed. it's kind of the same way with man and God: when our fragmented, broken selves meet the light of Christ, something beautiful is formed.

Kaleidoscope is a multi-sensory worship encounter - aimed at providing opportunities for people to connect with God in new and fresh ways.

K-scope will become a monthly alternative worship setting starting in January.

We've had two test runs. This last one had the theme: Satisfied? for that one, i created a short film that resembles a Rob Bell-Nooma video. i will admit, his style was an inspiration - but we wanted to do something original.

So now - i aim to make, on a regular basis, more worship related films under the name Creative Kerygma. Kerygma is greek for 'Proclamation.' These films are meant to be a creative proclamation of the Gospel, in some way, shape or form.

here are the first two Creative Kerygma short films. Sheep and Shepherd. Shepherd is adapted from Sheep - if you watch them both, you'll understand.

enjoy. leave feedback or use 'em in your worship. if you use them, let me know how you used them. Thanks!
