Church Banner
|
Church banners serve as visible and viable reminders of the greatness of God, and a church can tailor their praise to God in a way that reflects the heart of the particular congregation, because they come in various themes and appearances,. The Bible says "there is no new thing under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Church banners vary in colors, styles and symbols. The colors are typically white, black, red, blue, yellow, purple, green, silver, gold or orange. These colors are all symbolic in their own right, and are used to add to the symbolism. Furthermore, these also vary in appearance and style. They can hang like flags or be hung on walls, as well as varying in size. Church banners usually have some common symbols, however, such as crowns, precious stones or gems, or bold lettering.
In Biblical times, this type of flag served important and practical functions for God's people. They were used to distinguish tribes and to rally and lead people to war. They also were raised high in celebration and victory. Today church banner ministries mimic many of these Old Testament traditions by displaying them prominently in worship. These symbols can vary as much as the people who create them in order to fit the personality or purpose of a particular church.
Ministries that focus on this type of glorification to God are becoming increasingly more popular and prominent. As in the Old Testament, these symbols served as a visible way of declaring praises to God. Some church banner ministries choose themes such as the names of God, the attributes of God, or the fruit of the Spirit. These flags not only display praises to God, but they serve as a unifying message as God's people recognize their commonality under the banner of God. Hanging a symbol of love for God will help bring people closer together and closer to God.
If anyone is interested in creating this type of symbol or starting a similar ministry, there are many resources available online. Many of the companies offer to send catalogues in addition to the information that is available on their websites. Furthermore, these companies offer pre-made church banners as well as kits in which can be assembled personally as a less expensive option. Some companies even offer the option of designing a church banner online, which they will then replicate on a banner of color, size and style that is requested.
