Church 3
Evangelicals online.
Churches are seeing the benefits of reaching people digitally as a way of expanding their ministries.
One of the most difficult parts of going to church is getting up on time, getting dressed and then physically getting to the church.
It is almost like going to work on your day off.
'The Catholic Church isn't alone among faith groups in having recognized social media's potential for proselytizing. Evangelical leaders like Franklin Graham and Paula White-Cain have taken to YouTube to share sermons and teachings. The Dalai Lama has advocated digital outreach among Buddhist monks, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints posts words of inspiration and adherents' personal testimonies for its 1.4 million Instagram followers.'

Jesus teaching in his hometown of Nazareth without streaming services:
A Prophet Without Honor
53' When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.'
- Bible Gateway Matthew 13:53-58
