Need ideas for new sermon series

We will be starting a new series the 1st of September titled "Align." The idea behind this would be using the illustration of when your car's wheels are out of alignment the car is not running "true" down the road. Each wheel has a different purpose, ie. connect, grow, serve, reach in that order. I need some ideas for graphics, illustrations, videos, whatever. Thanks for your considerations and suggestions.

The first thing I think of is an image of a car on a highway viewing it directly from behind, or directly above going straight down the road and then having a ghosted image of the same car slightly skewed away from the center line or drifting off in a different direction.

I tend to avoid "series" sermons and topical preaching in general. Rather, I prefer to preach through a text (since the book was written as a whole) expositionally. In doing so, I may call it a "series" based on the overall message of the book, but I let the text drive my topic/sermon.

How about a simple image consisting of two lines -- one straight and the other skewed. Like this maybe?

That's nice. That's also not what he asked.
