Sermon Slides: Respect (plus 1 extra)

Don did a series on Character Traits. One week he spoke about Respect. So, here are some scripture slides I created to go with that theme.

Romans 12:10

1 Peter 2:17

Philippians 2:3

Here is one that I did for our baby day that I haven't posted yet.

Psalm 22:30

Ten Commandments

This was a really fun series to do. The first challenge, of course, is determining which commandments are the 10 commandments. The lists which are commonly known as the Ten Commandments are given in passages in two books of the Bible: Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21 (compare side-by-side at BibleGateway.com).

If you count each "imperative statement," then you will quickly see that there are more than 10 commands. A little research shows that different religious backgrounds have parsed the commandments in different ways. I struggled with whether to follow the Jewish tradition or the Evangelical tradition. In the end, I went with the evangelical.

Commandment 1

Commandment 2

Commandment 3
I was stumped on how to illustrate this one for several weeks. I finally had a brainstorm and was able to find this picture.

Commandment 4

Commandment 5
This is one of my favorite designs. I played with a few things to get this to work.

Commandment 6

Commandment 7
Handling lust in a tasteful way is always difficult.

Commandment 8

Commandment 9
I actually wanted a picture of person taking an oath. But I couldn't find a good high quality (free) graphic to do that.

Commandment 10

Covenants of God

The "religious tradition" of the church I attend is one that promotes the taking of the communion each week. Our church used to have one of the men share a short devotional thought and then pray over the emblems. I enjoy this practice because it gives me a chance to publicly speak/teach in a manner that I don't often get to because I am no longer in full-time ministry. However, a year or so ago, the leadership began requesting that men only pray over the communion and not share a devotional.

Being passive-aggressive I have come up with a round-about way to still share a message. When it is my turn I use my announcement slides and my prayer to share an insight. So, for this one, I wanted to talk about how God's covenants and how communion is a symbol of the covenant relationship we have with God. Each of these slides bring remembrance of God's faithfulness to the people He has made covenants with in the past.

As I prayed, I mentioned each covenant and the fulfillment of that covenant as a testimony to God's faithfulness.

Genesis 3:15

Genesis 9:11

Genesis 12:2

Genesis 22:15-18

Exodus 19:4-6

Psalm 89:3-4

Matthew 26:26-28
I didn't actually use this Matthew 26 one. After I made the slide, I found this one and thought it was much better, both execution and with my theme.

Pre-Election Scriptures

These are series of scripture slides that I did right before the election. All of these scriptures remind us that God is ultimately in control of the affairs of government, not us.

Romans 13:4

Daniel 2:21

Proverbs 21:1

John 19:11

Colossians 2:9,10

I Peter 2:13,14

Scripture Slides Catch Up

Its been awhile since I have uploaded scripture slides. So, we are going to play "catch up" over the next few posts. First, I will put some "miscellaneous" slides here. Then, I will do some other posts for a few series I have completed.

As always, click on the picture to access a larger resolution version. FWIW, I downloaded the Google Photo Screensaver and changed the settings to point to my directory of scripture slides. Now, when my screensaver kicks in, it loops through the scripture slides.

John 1:3,4

Ecclesiastes 7:16-18.jpg
This was from a series that Don did entitled a Balanced Christian Life.

Proverbs 30:8
Another slide dealing with living a life of moderation.

Genesis 1:2
This verse talks about NOT being moderate or balanced, but living your life to an extreme. A nice contrast to the other two.

Recent Scripture Slides

I've only created two new scripture slides recently.

Genesis 1:2

Hebrews 2:10

Scripture Slides: The Backlog Edition

The scripture slides that I have posted seem to get the most Internet traffic from search engines. Anyway, with the posting problems I was having, I haven't uploaded any of the scripture slides that I have been working. So, here they are for your enjoyment. Click on the slide to get the higher resolution, better quality picture.

At the first of the year, Don did a seven-part series entitled "A Word to the Wise" where he discussed practical life issues with guidance from the book of Proverbs. So, I did a bunch of Proverbs slides. The Proverbs about wives, husbands, and marriage were not created for the "Word to the Wise Series" but were created for the recent "The Two Shall Become One" series.

Proverbs

Proverbs 1:8

Proverbs 2:6

Proverbs 3:6

Proverbs 3:9-10

Proverbs 15:5

Proverbs 18:22

Proverbs 19:14

(I made this one as a joke. I double-dog dare anyone to actually use this one.)

Proverbs 31:10

This is the most recent slide I made. Don spoke just this past Sunday on this verse.

Deuteronomy 6:4

I made the next several slides for a sermon Don did entitled the "Abundant Life."

Ephesians 2:6

Jeremiah 29:11

John 10:10

John 15:11

Philippians 2:5-7

Philippians 4:4

Psalm 16:11

These last two (with some of the ones from Proverbs) were for the series on Marriage.

Song Of Solomon 4:10
(I read through the book of Song of Solomon to find any passages that could be used. I had forgotten how explicit the book is. Even though it is very graphic, the author's tone exudes the purity of innocence in a marital relationship. Even so, I still became very uncomfortable reading the book; but not because of its frankness. Rather, I felt like I was intruder in the sacred intimacy.)

Ephesians 5:25
