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.

5. Creationists believe the straightforward interpretation of Scripture, that God created the earth and all of its life. Gen 1:1, 9-10; Job 38:8-12; Psa 104:2-13

6. All three members of the Trinity are attributed with the creation of the earth and all its forms of life. Yet, Christ is called out specifically as the Creator. John 1:3, 10; Col 1:15-19; Heb 1:10

7. Gen 1:1, “In the Beginning.” RESHITH, “first, beginning, best/choice part, or chief.”

8. It is not speaking of the beginning of eternity for eternity has no beginning and no end, but of the time of creation of the universe inside of eternity.

9. “Created”, BARA QAL Perfect
“Created”, BARA QAL Perfect. “To create something out of nothing” (ex nihilo). Visible or invisible!

19. The third heaven is the “heaven of heavens”, or “highest of the heavens.” Cf. Deut 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chron 2:6; 6:18; Neh 9:6.

20. God is perfect and His creation of the heavens and the earth was perfect, thus what we read in Genesis 1:2 indicates that something happened to God’s perfect creation.

21. “Was” HAYAH, QAL Perfect
“Was” HAYAH, QAL Perfect. Indicates the present state of the earth that is the result of a preceding situation, namely, the judgment of the fallen angels. Isa 14:12-23; Ezek 28:11-19

22. TOHU signifying “formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness”, that is “desolation”, that which is desolate, a chaos, a ruin, etc.

23. BOHU that means “emptiness, or that which is empty, void, or waste
BOHU that means “emptiness, or that which is empty, void, or waste.” Both are related to judgment and sin. Isa 34:11; Jer 4:23.

24. They refer to a confused, chaotic state, inevitably the result of some cataclysm, and usually one that has been brought on by Divine judgment. cf. Deut 32:10; 1 Sam 12:21; Job 6:18; 12:24; 26:7; Psa 107:40; Isa 40:17; 41:29; 44:9; 45:19; 49:4; 59:4.

25. Isa 45:18, “For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place (TOHU), but formed it to be inhabited), “I am the LORD, and there is none else”.”

26. Jer 4:23, “I looked on the earth, and behold, it was a ruin (TOHU) and a desolation (BOHU); And to the heavens, and they had no light.”

27. “Darkness”, CHOSHEK. It means, “darkness, or obscurity
