Just as sermons use words to interpret the meaning of the text, visual sermons use image, texture, design, symbolism to best communicate the message of the text. Within the environment of worship, each viewer adds their own perspective which adds meaning to the artwork. No longer is worship only communicated in word and song, but also in sight, and even touch. This reintroduction of art into the church provides a place for truth to reside, not merely explained in words that never seem enough.
