Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template:
1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “ ” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background.
3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation.
4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful.
Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one. Check for more information.

2. 1 John 4:4; "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."

3. 1 John Series 1 John 4:1 A Warning about False Teachers Part II

4. Chapter 4 begins with a warning to recognize and avoid false teachings.

5. “Beloved ones” is used to designate the Royal Family of God, emphasizing the fact that Jesus Christ is the beloved and you and I are accepted in the beloved (Eph 1:6).

6. We are Royal Family, and with the privilege comes responsibility, the responsibility to advance to maturity through discernment between true and false teaching.

7. We are told to stop doing something we are currently doing; “stop believing” falsehoods of “influential speakers” or “eloquent speakers”.

8. Eloquence isn’t always true, eloquence is not a sign of truthfulness, it's just a personality trait or learned behavior.

9. With persuasive speech this constitutes thought testing on behalf of the believer, a great momentum test in advancing towards spiritual maturity.

10. Eloquence is often mistaken for spiritual dynamics; it may or may not be. The issue is not eloquence but the content of message.

11. Only the believer with maximum Bible doctrine resident in his soul and perceiving while inside GPS, can determine or discern the difference.

12. It is not the man but the message. Eloquent error is still error
It is not the man but the message. Eloquent error is still error. Eloquence cannot convert what is false into what is true.

13. Principle: Perception of Bible doctrine provides discernment and common sense, which eliminates naïve appreciation of talent.

14. “Into the World” KOSMOS = Satan’s Cosmic System.

15. Satan’s system embraces false teaching and rejects true doctrine.

16. John 15:18-20, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you….

17. … Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.”
