I have been designing Powerpoint slide backgrounds for sermons since 2001.
So I figured it was about time that I put some of them out for other people to use!
With the Covid shutdown, I have finally had time to save and upload them.

How do I search for pictures?
|
You will find an eclectic collection of pictures used for sermon backgrounds, each saved in full screen and wide screen format and easily downloadable. There are pictures I painted, others I designed directly on the computer, ones I made by arranging pennies or gluing yarn or twisting straw or setting out blocks in designs or arranging dirt and so on! I enjoy being creative.
Nearly all of these pictures were designed for specific sermons, so many of them emphasize certain points. Where did all of this art come from?
I am a homemaker, piano lesson teacher...and wife of a preacher. And since I enjoy both drawing and working with computers, it was a natural fit to draw and design Powerpoint slideshows for his sermons, especially since I was already doing it some for the church we attended while he finished his masters and started his ministry.

I have tried to organize the pictures in groups to make them easy to look through, but if you know what passage or character you want a picture of, I suggest you go to your favorite search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) and type in "NT Bible Backgrounds Jenny" plus whatever you are searching for.
OK, so that doesn't work yet, but once the search engines "find" me, it will! (Weebly no longer includes a search bar with their free version.) What about the Old Testament?
I have the Old Testament pictures ready to go at https://otbiblebackgroundsbyjenny.weebly.com/. Due to the 500 MB limit on Weebly's free sites, I can't put all of my pictures on one website. General files (scenery, pictures that link the New and Old Testament, people worshiping, etc.) will also be on the OT website, since I had a lot more NT pictures than OT ones.

Organization:
did my best to sort the pictures into groups that made sense, but often they fit into more than one category, so I had to choose.
You can click on the sections above or below to scan through thumbnails from each section, or use the top menu to go to specific pages.
MATTHEW-MARK: includes most of the specific stories from Matt/Mark, in order by book and (roughly) chapter, except for Jesus' birth, his death, and his resurrection LUKE-JOHN: includes most of the specific stories from Luke & John, in order by book and (roughly) chapter, except for Jesus' birth, his death, and his resurrection
MOSTLY JESUS: includes John the Baptist, Jesus alone, and Jesus with others when they are pictures that don't fit with a specific gospel passage
JESUS' BIRTH: includes nearly all of the pictures from Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2, primarily done for Christmases over the years
JESUS' DEATH & RESURRECTION: includes most of the stories from Jesus washing the disciples feet through his ascension
ACTS: includes pictures and maps from the stories in the book of Acts
ROMANS through REVELATION: includes artwork done for Paul's letters, the general letters, and the book of Revelation
OTHER: includes pictures of baptism, churches, crosses, the Holy Spirit, and the Trinity
