Hi Subscriber,

It is Holy Week. We have one more week to contemplate the difficult journey of Lent and Jesus' passion week before we can celebrate resurrection and new life. Easter is a season of seven weeks that lead us from the resurrection of Jesus to the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2. In this post I hope to offer you some encouragement and resources to dig into spiritual practices that will make this a season of resurrection life for you.

Taking the journey together,
Steve
Present and read through the story of Jesus’ final week from all four Gospels in graphic novel style with this mega pack. It is fascinating to compare and contrast how similar each version of the story is to each other and how many subtle differences exist.
This download includes:
  • a PowerPoint with 378 slides and
  • a folder with 378 .jpg images,
  • plus a PDF including 37 pages of full-color illustrations.

This set ends with EASTER!!!

Spend the Easter season digging into the book of Acts. A Cartoonist's Guide to Acts comes in free digital resources to follow online, PowerPoint Downloads, and an in-depth Bible Study in print.
I have been experimenting with an online community built around A Cartoonist's Guide to the Bible and the visual study of the Bible. I just added a 7-day free trial feature to the Network. I'd love to have you join us and see if it is a place that would be life-giving for you.

Member benefits include:

  1. A weekly livestream Bible Study where I walk through the PowerPoint, Image Pack and any commentary associated with the highlighted text for the week. These videos will be archived and available to members on the network.
  2. A Universal Discount Code. Members will get to download EVERYTHING for free on the download store.
  3. Access to directly chat with me. You might have questions about specific products or Bible passages. Members can direct chat me through the network. These communications will get priority.
  4. Community. This is a social network. Members will be able to chat with each other, form groups, and discuss the Bible, preaching, teaching, art, theology and spiritual formation.

On the Art Side

Live Art on "Palm Wednesday"

I had the opportunity to create a drawing live during Chapel on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. This was our "Palm Wednesday" Chapel for the Luther Seminary community, since Holy Week is Spring Break.

Hosanna means “save us” so I asked people to complete the sentence “save me from…” and to write their response on a palm branch. I drew this image during the service. Then each person brought their hosanna to add on the image when they came up to receive communion. I was glad to be a part of this service. Click the button below to watch the service. Enjoy!
