    1. OUR NEED FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH Title Page 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.

HOW WE BEGIN ON THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.“ John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

    8. HOW WE BEGIN ON THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH A newborn is helpless. Can’t care for itself. Parents first concern is that the baby grow. This is God’s concern for His children. Sample Verse Layout Type 1 Sample Verse Layout Type 1

    9. WE NEED TO GROW SPIRITUALLY SO WE CAN DO THE WORK OF GOD Fulfill our responsibilities in the kingdom. Matthew 20:1 - "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard." Sample Point Layout Type 1 Sample Point Layout Type 1

    10. WE NEED TO GROW SPIRITUALLY SO WE CAN DO THE WORK OF GOD Wouldn’t expect a newborn to do the work of a grown person. We should not expect a new Christian to do the work of a mature Christian. Sample Point Layout Type 1 Sample Point Layout Type 1

    11. Hebrews 5:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
