LOUNGE

Breakthrough Showcase
Think about a breakthrough in your life and how it's been transformative, deepening your relationship with God. By following Jesus' ways, we can experience a breakthrough that helps us overcome any doubts and fears, and leads us to a place of greater trust, strength and understanding.
How will these different mediums of art and expression speak about how your breakthrough has led you closer to where God needs you to be?

Original Song (Acoustic)
As you know, music is a language, a medium to convey simple or complex emotions and experiences. Therefore, you are invited to incorporate in your song the theme: BREAKTHROUGH and this year’s anchor verse: “But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth,’ he said to the paralytic, ‘I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” (Mark 2:10-11)
Spoken Word
Spoken word poetry is similar to poetry. Both contain the author's thoughts and/or feelings, however spoken word differs in the way it is delivered. In short, it is a "performance art that transcends the written form" (Masterclass). Therefore, you are invited to incorporate this year's theme into your spoken word: BREAKTHROUGH and this year’s anchor verse: “But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth,’ he said to the paralytic, ‘I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.”
(Mark 2:10-11)
Dance
In St. Paul’s letter to the Romans, he instructs his audience on the significance of offering our bodies as an act of worship (Romans 12:1 NIV). Dance, performed with intention, to honor God and inspired by the Spirit can be an act of worship. We invite you to incorporate in your dance the theme: BREAKTHROUGH and this year’s anchor verse: “But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth,’ he said to the paralytic, ‘I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” (Mark 2:10-11)
Original Video
Film and Video can be used as a medium to share what it means to live in Christ. Perhaps there was an experience where a breakthrough has led you closer to Christ and where he wants you to be. How would the scenes flow? Which items or colors have symbolism or contrast? What kind of emotions would be conveyed? With that in mind, we invite you to incorporate in your video the theme: BREAKTHROUGH and this year’s anchor verse: “But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth,’ he said to the paralytic, ‘I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” (Mark 2:10-11)
Showcase
Let’s boogie!
The decade of the 1970s was portrayed as a “pivot of change” in world history. It was a time marked by breakthrough when it came to culture and freedom of expression, which allowed things like disco, rock, hippie movements, and even Star Wars to flourish!
This year’s SFC conference will be a lot more funky, as we groove on out in 70s style. Whether you’re feeling like a disco dancer, a rockstar, a hippie, or something in between, come ready to boogie on the dance floor in your far out 70s fashion. Can't wait to see you there!
