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.

4. John 15:5 Occupation with the Lord Jesus Christ! Part 3

5. Occupation with the Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest motivator in life for Divine Good Production.

6. 5) O. w/ C., which begins in spiritual adulthood, means your motivation in life changes.

7. a) At first, your motivation is in the faith-rest drill, in learning the basic doctrines, and using the basic Problem Solving Devices.

8. b) As you begin to grow you change very subtly from dependence on people to dependence on the Lord.

9. 6) False motivation leads to false doctrine, wrong priorities, produces garbage in the subconscious which produces false experience.

10. 7) O. w/ C. is the true motivator in life. 2 Cor 5:14-17

11. a) O. w/ C. eliminates the human viewpoint of life
a) O. w/ C. eliminates the human viewpoint of life. Human viewpoint causes you to complain and argue with others about everything in life. It makes you miserable.

12. b) O. w/ C. is the highest motivation we can have in this life
b) O. w/ C. is the highest motivation we can have in this life. The higher the motivation the greater your happiness, enthusiasm, and awareness of your spiritual life will be.

13. Prov 29:18b, “Happy is he who keeps the law.”

14. c) O. w/ C. results in God emphasis taking precedence over people emphasis.

15. d) Fellowship with God is infinitely more important than fellowship with people.

16. True Christian fellowship is fellowship with God the Father, the filling of the Holy Spirit, and Occupation with Christ.

17. e) You cannot grow spiritually or execute the Plan of God through social intercourse or any other thing that is construed as Christian fellowship.

18. f) The key to the Plan of God is that you no longer live for yourselves but for Christ; for God does all the work.

19. 8) By giving Bible doctrine number one priority in your life two things occur.

20. a) You come to have personal love for God the Father, and therefore fellowship with the Father.

21. b) You have Occupation with Christ and therefore fellowship with God the Son.

22. 9) 2 Cor 5:17 tells us a “new spiritual species” is qualified to have fellowship with God.

23. a) The new spiritual species is capable of using the omnipotence of God for the execution of His Plan for their lives. Mat 7:20, “So then, you will know them by their fruits.”

24. 10) You can't be motivated by people and advance in the Christian life
10) You can't be motivated by people and advance in the Christian life. Your motivation must come as the result of Bible Doctrine resident within your soul, ie. O. w/ TLJC.
