Do you use PowerPoint?

While on travel one Sunday, I was able to attend Charlotte Baptist Chapel, Edinburgh, Scotland, so I’m excited to link to a set of PowerPoint slides that you might want to consider using for this week’s Explore the Bible lesson, “Are you Saved?, or my preferred alternate title: “How do you know your sins are forgiven?”.

On 14/04/2002 in the evening series, ‘Good News for Bad People’, the Reverend Peter Grainger taught 'Father Abraham' from Romans 4:1-25. His slides might be very useful this week. On 07/04/2002 of that same series, Mr. John Percival taught ‘Making bad people good’ from Romans 3:21-31. His slide is good, too. Their whole series on Romans can be fished out of this Google cache page.

Xenos Christian Fellowship also offers PowerPoint slides from the series on Romans by Dennis McCallum. However, these slides are fairly dense and they become the focus of the teaching session.

I prefer to relegate PowerPoint slides to only a supporting roll, which means they should have very few words and they use pictures or graphics. I hesitate to offer an example of what's best, but look thru these slides on Romans and tips on using PowerPoint from ebibleteacher. These slides are not satisfactory to me, but they do illustrate some simplicity. Can you make an alternate suggestion?
