Lent begins this week. It starts with Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026 and then moves through 5 Sundays that lead to Palm Sunday on March 29. In this post I want to look specifically at the texts and possible themes for the Gospel readings from the Revised Common Lectionary.
Valentine’s Day fell on a Friday this year. Art Pastor Live usually happens on Friday afternoon. So, I decided that I would dwell in the concept of love during this livestream. It ended up being like an illustrated sermon. Enjoy!
1 Corinthians is a letter written by the apostle Paul to a contentious people. He spends much of the letter correcting their negative and destructive behavior. Yet, here in 1 Corinthians 13, nestled in the middle of the constant correctives to chaotic Corinthians comes a beautiful gem that radiates the deep truth of God’s Kingdom. Paul tells us about love: the most excellent way.
This post offers visual resources for Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, The Vine in John 15, and The Most Excellent Way of Love in 1 Corinthians 13.
A reflection of gratitude on the invitation and the process of creating art in worship spaces during Lent and Holy Week this year.
