Crown of Victory

by Celina Worley

What do you picture when you hear the word crown? Glory? Honor? Royalty? For millennia the symbol of a crown has meant all these things and more. In the time of Jesus Christ a crown symbolized power, superiority and monarchy, it was what you wore because you were king.

Jesus was born a king. He was the hope of the Jewish people. He was going to ride into their city like a king on a donkey and they were going to sing and wave branches. That happened. He was going to be lifted up, draw all people to Himself, and that happened too. But what was this lifting up? Where did He get the power to draw all of our wayward hearts to Himself?

He was lifted up, not in royal robes or under a golden canopy, but naked and brutalized on a cross of wood. He was not raised high to be celebrated by an adoring crowd, but hung up high to be slowly crushed under the kingdom He had come to win back, to save with His own life.

PowerPoint Quick Tip

To make sure your slides are readable, measure the width of the copy on your computer screen, then step back eight times that dimension. If you can read it without strain, the text will probably be legible when projected.


Product Showcase
 Oxygen Christmas

    Many of our loyal customers have asked us over the past two years why we have not put out a Christmas CD-ROM, and until now the answer has always been time. This year we started work early in the year to create a complete CD-ROM of original inspired Christmas seasonal art. Oxygen's Christmas CD-ROM has beautiful renditions of Biblical stories as well as creative metaphors for your sermon. Each image has been crafted to add a strong thematic impact to your holiday services.

    Take a look at each of the 25 core images and the 450+ templates and backgrounds, and I am sure you'll agree that this CD-ROM is a must-have for churches and ministries this season. As an added bonus we are offering this CD-ROM at an all time low starting price. This CD-ROM is available for just $49.95, that's 45% off of retail. That's a complete collection of inspiring Christmas images for under 12¢ per template.

      Since Debbie is on vacation in Italy for two weeks, I get the privilege of letting you know what's going on this month.

      First, we want to take this time to thank all of our members who have been with us throughout this year. You have blessed us with your emails and letters letting us know how effective these images have been within your ministries. We are excited at the opportunity to continue to meet your needs in the year ahead.

      Premier members should have received your copy of volume 12 by now. If you haven't please give the post office a few more days to deliver your shipment. If you don't get it in your hands by next week let us know. Because we ran a bit behind schedule, if there is an image you need before the disk arrives please let us know and we will get it to you by download. We have also enclosed a special promotional code to receive free shipping on the Christmas CD-ROM as our way of saying thanks for the great year.

      Deluxe members, we will also be giving you a little present with your November coupons, so keep a look out.


      Many Blessings!

      Now Presenting
      Dual Monitors in PowerPoint

      The dual screen function in the PowerPoint program is an excellent way to initiate flexibility during your sermon or worship service. Don't misunderstand-worship software specifically designed for the needs of churches will always be the optimum solution, but some churches simply do not have the resources to move in that direction yet. This is where understanding PowerPoint's dual screen capabilities can come in handy.

      Dual monitors allow you to shuffle through all the slides in your presentation without disturbing your projection view. If you have ever tried to keep pace with your worship leader as he switches the song order or returns for another round of the reprise, then dual monitors will soon become your best friend.
