Description

 

Matthew 25 is the passage people remember even when they have forgotten where to find it. It returns to the lectionary on Christ the King Sunday, November 22, 2026, the last Sunday of Year A, and a short video of it on your church’s feed tells your neighbors what your congregation is about before anyone walks through the door.

These are two finished kinetic typography videos of Matthew 25:35 (NRSVue), built as call and response. Each need lands in bold white, “for I was hungry,” “I was thirsty,” “I was a stranger,” and its answer rises beneath it in warm amber italic. Behind the words, a wooden door swings open from a blue-dusk porch into a lamplit dining room, the table set with loaves of bread and chairs in mismatched colors. On the last pair, the word “stranger” splits down the middle and opens like that door, revealing “and you welcomed me” in the gap with a soft glow behind it. You get an Instagram and Facebook Story cut (1080×1920, about 15 seconds) and a feed Reel cut (1080×1350, about 23 seconds) that gives each pair room to land, like a litany.

Everything is finished. There is nothing to edit, no watermark, and no PCM branding, so the videos post as your church’s own. Every line reads with the sound off, text stays clear of the profile and reply bars, and the key words in the Reel stay inside the center of the frame if a platform crops it to full screen. The Reel ends with a moment of the room alone so it loops cleanly, and a cover image is included for each cut.

The verse is set exactly as the NRSVue has it and stops where verse 35 stops. No charity framing that casts the church as host and the stranger as a project. No guilt register. The text is left to say what it says: that the hungry, the thirsty, and the stranger are met with food, drink, and welcome, and that this is where Christ is found.

Post it again for a food pantry or community meal Sunday, Thanksgiving week, World Refugee Day in June, a sanctuary or immigrant-welcome emphasis, or any week your congregation is opening its doors wider. It pairs naturally with PCM’s welcome backgrounds for a consistent look on Sunday morning.

Your purchase covers use in worship, in print, online, and on your church’s social media accounts, with no time limit. Included with PCM Complete at no extra cost.
