End-of-year lists are always lots of fun to read (and to write). But their biggest problem is that they are always, of course, completely subjective, usually the whim of one writer, staff, or editor. Don't worry—we've got that list coming later in January!

But first, we wanted to create a list that shows what you, the customers of FaithVisuals.com, have most enjoyed this year. So we picked the most popular videos (based on the total number of downloads) from our entire selection of visual media. Listed in descending order, here are the videos you voted on with your downloads:

Stop
This entry in the always-popular Christian/Christ-Follower series is the video that resonated most with you in 2007. Tongue-in-cheek through and through, the video from Community Christian Church poses the question: "How do we express our faith?" Your comments indicated the conclusions of the clip were certainly controversial, but they also proved to be resonant for many people.

Names
This video from Worship Films has proven itself to be the most popular countdown of 2007. Combining an energetic electronica beat with the practicality of a countdown, this clip shows various names for God as the timer counts down to zero.

Broken Vessels
This poignant video is popular for a reason: few other videos attain the incredible commentary on human brokenness in less time. In this vignette from Highway Video, people walk by as their hidden sins are revealed, demonstrating that each of us truly is a broken vessel, carrying our own secrets and brokenness with us everywhere we go.

Poverty
How do we spend our money? And how do those expenditures look when compared with the finances of the rest of the world? This difficult clip from twentyonehundred productions asks these questions without making judgments or pointing fingers. Instead, it presents some facts, and gives us a great many things to think about as we live and consume.

He's Alive Countdown
This lively countdown from Chris McGowan is perfect for your Easter Sunday service. It uses trivia and word games on the topic of Holy Week as it counts down from 5 minutes. It is sure to engage children and adults alike as they try to outguess one another.

O Come O Come Emmanuel
This powerful worship video from twentyonehundred productions uses images and artistic renderings of the Christ child to illustrate this familiar Advent song. It includes the lyrics, so it's the perfect video for your worship times during the holiday season.

Veterans Day: Thanking Our Heroes
Often, we have a hard time figuring out how we can honor veterans in the context of church. This video from Beamer Films can help you answer that question. Using patriotic imagery to convey its message of honor and thanks, this video is a great clip to acknowledge and honor any veterans.

At the Cross
Why do we come to the cross? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are people. This clip from Worship Films takes a look at some peoples' reasons and creates a powerful document of need and human brokenness.

Doors
This countdown from Worship Films is a perfect way to start your service. It goes through a series of doors as relaxing and propulsive music pushes the viewer through various rooms—and toward the beginning of your service.

Follow
This humorous parody video in the Christian/Christ-Follower series (from Community Christian Church) is yet another amusing examination of what actually matters when we say we follow Christ. This entry looks at how we think we might need to look before attending church, exploring ways Christians have come across as judgmental in the past.
