Power Point
Ever heard the
expression, death by power point?
PowerPoint can be a wonderful tool if used correctly. It can also be
a dangerous distraction that interferes with communication rather than
facilitating it. I've seen many preachers delivering sermons over the
last 3 years. Most of these were on PowerPoint. Most of them were
done poorly.
I often think the presenter would be more compelling if he would
ditch the PowerPoint and just speak. After 1 sermon in particular, I was
sure the Founding Fathers would have considered PowerPoint on of the 7
deadly sins and would have outlawed it. But alas, PowerPoint has become
a staple of church life. It is the ubiquitous prop that attends every
presentation.
So if we can’t outlaw it, at least we can regulate it and, hopefully,
try to improve it. Here are 5 tips I found on a good PowerPoint resource
site on the web.
Rule #1: Don’t give PowerPoint center stage.
(more info on these
rules)
Rule #2: Create a logical flow to your presentation.
Rule #3: Make your presentation readable.
Rule #4: Remember, less is more.
Rule #5 Practice and perfect your PowerPoint skills
Use PowerPoint correctly and you will help your audiences retain more
from your sermon, enjoy your presentation more, and provide a more
appealing service for your visitors. Learn to do it right using
these resources and watch your congregation grow!
