Imagine that someone has a passion for something. They study, practice, learn from those who are knowledgeable until they develop an ability to produce something. But that something that they produce does not exist to produce anything on it's own. It exists to take something that is being communicated and support it, highlight it, draw attention to it so that it grabs your heart and mind. Imagine a group of people who desperately want to communicate the message of Christ to those who absolutely need to know. The ones with the talent and the people with the desire come together and open hearts and minds. All parts of the same body serving God by glorifying him to this world. I watched this video and I did not see cheap entertainment. I saw the creation account in Genesis layed out in front of me, not just to hear and understand but to see and marvel at. Thank you Long Hollow Baptist Church.
Robert Calhoun ... I just could not agree with you more... Ihave always marveled at the creation account, but this simply made wowed me... Words just cannot express!!!
It boggles my mind that anyone would actually think this is based in reality in even the slightest. Genuine knowledge of the universe is so much more interesting and awe inspiring than "God did it". You people scare the hell out me tbh. It's just so bizarre!!
O Fender.....I realize that my opinion of the truthfulness of the creation account in the bible is just my opinion. I can actually state my opinion without attacking another's simply because I disagree with them . Mainly because it does neither of our opposing positions any good to do so and of course it's just the polite live and let live way to be. If you believe your view of it to be the correct one then good. Ridiculing the opposite view does absolutely nothing to convince me I'm wrong. It just makes you look self serving and also a bit of a jerk.
Being a high tech lighting designer myself I was VERY impressed with this and I feel this SHOULD BE UTILIZED at all services if you ask me. It not only intensifies the actual experience on ALL levels but the message he was reading would have NEVER worked without the visual effects like you had done... Good for you and your team for putting this together! I do major special effects for churches all over with lasers and lighting and such and this was done exceptionally...
Thank You! Very inspiring and educational. I doubt if anyone is texting, talking, or planning lunch during this type of production. Wonderful! I've learned some things for my own church production. Again, THANKS!
This is actually really cool! I understand the concern some have about churches being all about entertainment today and truthfully some are but it's about our heart. If our hearts are doing this for God solely and with the right attitude then it's ok to be creative and give the church something exciting to experience.
Nice work. I am not a Church goer. You have made a nice job here. I have helped make a Christmas Carol Service with 40-50 people attending into a 200 person attendance Service with a few lights and some lovely background spiritual music. Well done. Don't take any notice of the negative comments here buddy.
That was absolutely awesome and creative. I love it when people choose to use the creativity that God has given them because it reflects Him in us. God is the creator and uses of His creativity. Congratulations to all involved. I am glad to see the resources being used for a new way of evangelism instead of new cars and Armani suits. I hope to one day be able to recreate something like this in our church. The creativity is there, we just need the resources! lol God bless and don't stop!
This is from Long Hollow Baptist Church in Hendersonville, TN, a suburb of Nashville, TN. Long Hollow is a church with an average Sunday attendance of 6,000+ in a town of approximately 50,000. The church has grown tremendously during the past decade because of its commitment to reaching the lost. The multi-million dollar budget goes to support hundreds of different outreach programs including the construction and maintenance of orphanages in Haiti and Uganda.
Very Nice Thanks for not doing the privacy settings correctly very good. I love the fact that Christians are not to use the world and its technological advances because it takes God out of the service, but the world can use the church when they need something keep up the good work!!!
Jesus said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” ~ John 12:32 It doesn't say when you put up a light show to excite the senses it says to preach Jesus Christ. I'm not saying that because they video above is fine because it's a drama and nicely done by the way. I'm writing this because churches on Sunday feel the pressure to perform for the world when the world is looking for something other than itself. Think about it. If they don't see a difference in what we do then what are we to them?
well said, the smoke machines and the club lights only serve to distract the truth of the Gospel. Like God said, Satan disguises as an angel of light, so his followers. All this garbage is to Glorify Men not God. People have been decieved by this club smoke machines, lighting companies. The wide road is very wide and there are many who happy agree to be in it, for destruction.
Isn't God behind the brains behind all this technology we are seeing? He is the creator n has given us the ability to use the brains 4 his glory. Lightning the church this way is great. We ain't living in the 16th-18th century. Just as the times have advanced so do we need as Christians. Church doesn't have to be boring. Lets lighten up the Sanctuary if we got the Money!!!
Isn't God behind the brains behind all the technology like Atomic bombs or machine guns? If that was really a valid argument it would apply there as well.

This is not an every Sunday occurrence, but every Sunday has a high production value praise service, utilizing technology to create a very powerful experience. Productions like this occur 5 or 6 times a year.
Morgan, is it possible that you might share the underscore music titles at the beginning? Perhaps where this production was done? Thank You! Most excellent!
This is awesome! I was trying to get some ideas for lighting at my church and came across this video! Not surprised that it’s at LH. We started watching during the pandemic and love the services and RG preaching of the Word! “Word” You still there?
Actually, Genesis 1 is somewhat descriptive. One quote that quickly comes to mind is "Let there be light!". No miracles or trickery were attempted in this presentation so I don't understand your comment. Why do you assume this church doesn't feed the hungry? What if this presentation helps just one person begin to realize the power of God? If we are to praise God with everything we do, couldn't this also be a form of praise?
Greetings Morgan, thank you for sharing the video. Accidentally or not it was very inspirational. The devil will use every medium available to reach people. We would be foolish to not use all resources available to do the same. Question for you: What kind of lighting is that? Are they LEDs? I'm researching lighting for my church (much smaller scale). Right now we are using non-stage lights with numerous dead spots. I would prefer creating an LED system that we can build upon. Any suggestions?
Wonderful setup. wish I had the budget for it. :) Morgan, Do you know where they got those really big "IKEA" lamps used for the planets? (I call them IKEA lamps cause that's the only I ever see them but they are small there) Thanks for the video. Gave me some ideas for our own worship area. Of course I have to convince the priest that a fog machine is a good thing to buy! :D
The Bible dictates the course of the service at Long Hollow. Because of the church leadership, especially that of Pastor David Landrith, the church has seen thousands of people saved during the last decade- people from every continent have heard about Jesus and accepted him because of the commitment of the church leadership and its members. This church is a model for what every church could become and should become.
Hi, we will be doing something similar for our church anniversary. How were the paper lanterns able to rise safely? I'd appreciate it if someone were able to help.
You're assuming this was just for show and the excitement for those in attendance and who view it online. What if it was a mere attempt to illustrate the awesomeness found in Genesis 1? Your objection to the use of modern technology is interesting. For example, none of this technology was even dreamed about 100 years ago. However, would you object to a theatrical presentation using candles with liquid color filters, real smoke with someone fanning it and the use of elaborate costumes?
I would like to know if this was made more for filming or if this was a special, or something or is it something you guys do regularly during a service.
Actually, the Bible speaks of Lucifer (Satan) being the person over Worship. His responsibility was to worship God with the instruments that protruded from his body, the songs from his voice and the lights from his body. In worship, we mimic these things by creating them on stage. God wanted them from His lead worshiper. Lucifer is no longer that, so, it's our responsibility to provide it. Now, I'm not sure where the world get its example from. But the church….., we have the bible. Our example is the original blueprint.
AA Entertainment ... Gotcha. Yeah, we like the Freedom God allows us to have in Him. Scripture states. I Do believe that the church is behind. God gave us permission to do all that this video is doing and even more, but we slept on the technology. So, the world was able to afford venues that produced all of this and THEN the church got a hold of it. When all the while, it was available to us. We just didn't see it necessary. Every church in America isn't like this. Some are more free flowing withOUT the production and stage extras. The reason for different churches isn't to serve and worship different Gods. It's to present different ways to different people...., worship opportunities. Some like it this way, and some like to stand and sing out of hymnals. Same CHURCH. Different Churches.
With God being so creative why shouldn't the church be creative and reflect who our God is? It's all to crown Jesus. You know it also brings purpose to the lighting engineers, sound guys, and other people that have a passion to be creative too. We often don't think of them and think it's just a rock concert, but it's also serving purpose in the lives of those people as well as making church a fun place to be for those in attendance. I think people just can't have fun sometimes and think Church should be so ultra serious without any fun but I think differently. I think church should be enjoyed not endured. :)
I see a lot of disgusting comments on here from so-called "christians" who are criticizing this church for making good use of modern technology for God... It may not be your style, but I have yet to see anybody use any verses to back up your points that intelligent-lighting and smoke is bad in church... "What right do you have to criticize someone else's servants? Only their Lord can decide if they are doing right." Romans 14:4
Peters first sermon in Jerusalem ,did he have a laser show? FLESH FLESH FLESH. I love the song. But I think by putting light and fog effects cheapin the song.I guess I am a purest.
What would you say to those people who saw this presentation and realized the awesomeness of God and decided to commit their lives to Christ? There are many languages spoken throughout the world. The way in which this story was portrayed is simply one of them. Just because you don't relate to this medium doesn't make it wrong. Please don't dismiss it.
Scott Stewart Don't you think Paul was referring to a mindset? If the intentions/mindset of those who made this presentation was to present even a sliver of the awesome power of God, how is that conforming to the things of the world? Either way, Paul is speaking to fellow believers and warning them not so get sucked into worldly sin. I hardly think this is even remotely similar to what Paul was referring to.
Scott, if that is the case, they shouldn't be using electric guitars, keyboards, drum sets, PA systems and microphones either because Peter didn't have any of those things. As a matter of fact lets get rid of power points, projection screens, air conditioning, heating and anything else that requires electricity or gas because that wasn't available in Peters time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using current technology in order to supplement a service as long as its done to create an atmosphere of worship. When these technologies are used to glorify the people on stage... thats when it becomes a problem. Lighting and music are forms of art and art has the power to touch peoples lives in big ways if done so correctly. If this type of church is not for you that is perfectly fine. There are many churches that still exist and don't utilize much technology but its important to have a respect for both and the ultimate goal these churches have despite their differences in presentation. On the other hand I do agree that some churches overdo it and lose sight of the purpose of implementing some of these technologies. The church in this video didn't. For you to say its a "false fleshy anointing'' is pretty ignorant.
when Jesus was on earth, a woman broke her alabaster jar of perfume and poured on Jesus's feet. some thought it's wasting money but Jesus didn't think that way. He appreciated it. feeding the poor and helping them is good. but using new technologies and glorifying Him is not sin either as long as it is to honor Him. just saying my perspective :) no offense . everyone has different point of view.
As a participant in technological developments in the world of art and light visual effects. we will share about visual lighting in the art of performances and tutorials related to lighting management.
Why couldn't it possibly be replicated if it were created by God? and there is something wrong with changing what is meant to be the true word of God because something is being added that wasn't there before. If anybody is allowed to interpret the word of god just to suit their end goal then whats to say that gods original word as handed down through the many prophets hasn't been changed to suit others needs in the past....
being a lighting and sound engineer i'll help you seems your not going to get a worthwhile answer from the Host, this is an LED lighting system consisting of moving head fixtures, for a simple stage wash look at LED Par cans, these fixed lights do the same colour capabilities without of course the movement which for a lot of these applications is unneeded, if you need any help on designing a system mail me, happy to help as much as i can, i do it as a full time job for a large company UK based
I don't think you're being a jerk, just misguided and misinformed. Christianity is not a buffet. True Christians do not get to pick and choose which parts of the Bible we want to believe. Obviously, I have no problem having a conversation with you so maybe you means that you find it near impossible to change our minds about creation. This is true for me too. I'll try my best to answer any questions you have though.
And God said....lets preach a book written by people thousands of years ago as the truth...awesome light show though! I hope you let all the homeless people come and watch too!
Also, just want you to know that I'm not trying to be a jerk. I understand your side, but just have very different beliefs. I don't believe in Creationism, and i don't think evolution has all the answers either. I just wished that those who believe in Creation could accept that there just might be another answer. The problem with that is that it would crush their whole belief system and consequently, a part of who they are. This makes it near impossible to have an actual conversation with some.
I have a problem with this video and the way the words of Genesis have been changed to suit a religious "show". How often has this been done in the past to create effect and grab the audience of its listeners and then gone on be treated as fact and the true word of God....Surly the word of God is just that "the word of God", not to be tampered with just to get effect. Now what is true.
NZCombatTV I'm pretty sure the creation of the universe was a spectacular event that couldn't possibly be replicated. This is merely an attempt to convey the awesomeness of that event. There's nothing wrong with that.
Juliane...I wasn't talking about the actual technical side of the video or the production. I was talking about the way the original words of Bible text are slowly being re interpreted and added too, to give different meaning and effect. Meanings and words that end up becoming the new words of God. Example where in the book of Genesis that it actually state that God made "Galaxies", a concept unknown to to original writers of the scriptures. These concepts are being constantly added. If you want to rewrite "Scripture" then do so but don't refer to it as "The word of God". You're doing what the Mormons have done, they changed the words within the original scriptures to suit what they wanted people to believe as the original words of God...But I suppose if Christians do the same it's OK because your new "Bible" will be the true words of God....Reinterpreted....
Ok, so Genesis doesn't say galaxies. However, we know who created them right? Why not give Him credit? Is it false to say that God created galaxies? No, that is why they said it that way. Also, they never gave scripture context with what they were saying. I didn't see cripture listenings on the screen. This could of simply been a story they wrote for this production based soley on the Word of God. Either way there is nothing but truth in what was said.
You think the rewording of the bible is "truth". Putting things in where they weren't before. Re interpenetrating what god said. If god wanted to say Galaxies and stars that is what would have said first time round, not wait for us to discover them and change the wording of the bible.
Yes, it is kind of sad! But, at least this creates conscience about somebody mightier than us! This is not either my way to preach the Gospel, but the Gospel is getting to be known. My question is: would not it be better to bring all this resources to third-world-coutries and preach there, instead of showing it in First-world-countries where money is not lacking? While, there are pastors walking kms in 1 day to bring the gospel? Ironic and sad too! Be blessed!

Imagine that someone has a passion for something. They study, practice, learn from those who are knowledgeable until they develop an ability to produce something. But that something that they produce does not exist to produce anything on it's own. It exists to take something that is being communicated and support it, highlight it, draw attention to it so that it grabs your heart and mind.
Imagine a group of people who desperately want to communicate the message of Christ to those who absolutely need to know. The ones with the talent and the people with the desire come together and open hearts and minds. All parts of the same body serving God by glorifying him to this world.
I watched this video and I did not see cheap entertainment. I saw the creation account in Genesis layed out in front of me, not just to hear and understand but to see and marvel at.
Thank you Long Hollow Baptist Church.
Robert Calhoun ...
I just could not agree with you more...
Ihave always marveled at the creation account, but this simply made wowed me...
Words just cannot express!!!
It boggles my mind that anyone would actually think this is based in reality in even the slightest. Genuine knowledge of the universe is so much more interesting and awe inspiring than "God did it". You people scare the hell out me tbh. It's just so bizarre!!

There will never be a better way to preach the Gospel. Praise God
i appreciate the hardwork of the lights team ...it made so real the creation story ,,,
thanks for sharing Morgan, very creative and excellently done
It really amaze me, for all the honor and glory belongs to God alone.
Nice work, Love the colors and the use of backlight!

Lighting and music are forms of art and art has the power to touch peoples lives in big ways if done so correctly. If this type of church is not for you that is perfectly fine. There are many churches that still exist and don't utilize much technology but its important to have a respect for both and the ultimate goal these churches have despite their differences in presentation. On the other hand I do agree that some churches overdo it and lose sight of the purpose of implementing some of these technologies. The church in this video didn't. For you to say its a "false fleshy anointing'' is pretty ignorant.
is this holy song
If church looked like that, i would be a regular goer
Well are you going now?
Amen
i would have some serious reservations about putting my money in a collection plate to pay for a bunch of lights....
when Jesus was on earth, a woman broke her alabaster jar of perfume and poured on Jesus's feet. some thought it's wasting money but Jesus didn't think that way. He appreciated it. feeding the poor and helping them is good. but using new technologies and glorifying Him is not sin either as long as it is to honor Him. just saying my perspective :) no offense . everyone has different point of view.
As a participant in technological developments in the world of art and light visual effects.
we will share about visual lighting in the art of performances and tutorials related to lighting management.
very good
that was amazing
Love it!
wow, i hear the bassist on 7:38
amazing
i wish i was there, front roll balcony specifically.
Why couldn't it possibly be replicated if it were created by God? and there is something wrong with changing what is meant to be the true word of God because something is being added that wasn't there before. If anybody is allowed to interpret the word of god just to suit their end goal then whats to say that gods original word as handed down through the many prophets hasn't been changed to suit others needs in the past....
What was changed?
I wish the content of the talk were as good as the lighting.
(Lighting was great, by the way)
You mean the bible?
You’re saying the Bible is not good content?
Awesome!!
wow awesome!
Awesome
UHHHH GENIAL DEMOSTRACIÓN....
wow... this is cool
its a simple (well to a vet lighting tech) setup now cost may not be cheat but its worth it
That is an awesome representation of Genesis.
being a lighting and sound engineer i'll help you seems your not going to get a worthwhile answer from the Host, this is an LED lighting system consisting of moving head fixtures, for a simple stage wash look at LED Par cans, these fixed lights do the same colour capabilities without of course the movement which for a lot of these applications is unneeded, if you need any help on designing a system mail me, happy to help as much as i can, i do it as a full time job for a large company UK based
Nice very nice
sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language.
I don't think you're being a jerk, just misguided and misinformed. Christianity is not a buffet. True Christians do not get to pick and choose which parts of the Bible we want to believe. Obviously, I have no problem having a conversation with you so maybe you means that you find it near impossible to change our minds about creation. This is true for me too. I'll try my best to answer any questions you have though.
And God said....lets preach a book written by people thousands of years ago as the truth...awesome light show though! I hope you let all the homeless people come and watch too!
JESUS DID NOT NEED CHEAP LIGHT EFFECTS OR FOG TO ATTRACT CROWDS. (just sayin)
That's because he was Jesus. The son of God would tend to draw a crowd.
What about peter and paul did they need cheap effects
Has the gospel been really reduced to immitaiting rock and roll shows
And yes He is the son of God. But if His light shines in us. Why do we need the cheap effects
Scott Stewart Did they have electricity? No. Would Jesus have used whatever technology was available to spread His message? Yes.
woooooooow...........!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, just want you to know that I'm not trying to be a jerk. I understand your side, but just have very different beliefs. I don't believe in Creationism, and i don't think evolution has all the answers either. I just wished that those who believe in Creation could accept that there just might be another answer. The problem with that is that it would crush their whole belief system and consequently, a part of who they are. This makes it near impossible to have an actual conversation with some.
I have a problem with this video and the way the words of Genesis have been changed to suit a religious "show". How often has this been done in the past to create effect and grab the audience of its listeners and then gone on be treated as fact and the true word of God....Surly the word of God is just that "the word of God", not to be tampered with just to get effect. Now what is true.
NZCombatTV I'm pretty sure the creation of the universe was a spectacular event that couldn't possibly be replicated. This is merely an attempt to convey the awesomeness of that event. There's nothing wrong with that.
NZCombatTV Please make a Video and put it on RUclips and show us the better way according to your EXPERTISE.
Juliane...I wasn't talking about the actual technical side of the video or the production. I was talking about the way the original words of Bible text are slowly being re interpreted and added too, to give different meaning and effect. Meanings and words that end up becoming the new words of God. Example where in the book of Genesis that it actually state that God made "Galaxies", a concept unknown to to original writers of the scriptures. These concepts are being constantly added. If you want to rewrite "Scripture" then do so but don't refer to it as "The word of God". You're doing what the Mormons have done, they changed the words within the original scriptures to suit what they wanted people to believe as the original words of God...But I suppose if Christians do the same it's OK because your new "Bible" will be the true words of God....Reinterpreted....
Ok, so Genesis doesn't say galaxies. However, we know who created them right? Why not give Him credit? Is it false to say that God created galaxies? No, that is why they said it that way. Also, they never gave scripture context with what they were saying. I didn't see cripture listenings on the screen. This could of simply been a story they wrote for this production based soley on the Word of God. Either way there is nothing but truth in what was said.
You think the rewording of the bible is "truth". Putting things in where they weren't before. Re interpenetrating what god said. If god wanted to say Galaxies and stars that is what would have said first time round, not wait for us to discover them and change the wording of the bible.
Yes, it is kind of sad! But, at least this creates conscience about somebody mightier than us! This is not either my way to preach the Gospel, but the Gospel is getting to be known. My question is: would not it be better to bring all this resources to third-world-coutries and preach there, instead of showing it in First-world-countries where money is not lacking? While, there are pastors walking kms in 1 day to bring the gospel? Ironic and sad too! Be blessed!
There are many questions you should ask before making an assumption that anyone's money was wasted.
