Good News for Everyone A pole with a banner was often placed on a hill as a proclamation. We know that God stands for truth and justice, that He is victorious over His enemies and that He loves us. That really is something to shout about. That is our Joyful proclamation. God often uses visual things to get a message across to us - just think about the rainbow.
Banners are like that - a visual aid.
They can remind us of spiritual truths about God as we worship. The church is like an army marching out in battle with God as our banner. They can also add beauty to our worship as we remember that God is love. And what an atmosphere of joyful celebration they can help to create. We do need to use the banners prayerfully and sensitively.
