In this livestream session I do three things. 1. I walk through a gallery of the plen air paintings I made while at Camp House. 2. I show you a pochade box and how to use it. 3. I spend about 20 minutes drawing a portrait with pencil. Enjoy!
The Revised Common Lectionary launches a two-month series on the letter to the Ephesians this Sunday. I took this opportunity to pull my illustration of Ephesians out of moth balls and give it a little update. Enjoy!
The readings for the Revised Common Lectionary for July 14 take us to a wide variety of texts. In 2 Samuel we see David returning the ark of the covenant in a parade of worship. We begin a series on the letter to the Ephesians (stay tuned for my video on that later this week). The Gospel reading tells the story of how Herod executed John the Baptist in order to save face during a drunken party.
In this episode of Art Pastor Live we are on location at Camp House where I interview Rev. Dr. Jules Erickson. She is a pastor and a potter. We talk about ordinary time and how she sees pottery as a spiritual practice.
How do we preach about the Kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed and the so-called American Dream that is celebrated on Independence Day and the Fourth of July? Do they go together?
Take a visual tour of the prayers that Paul prayed for his people in 1 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Romans, and Philippians. What can we learn about praying for each other from his example?
Who Needs a Healing Touch Today?
The Gospel reading this week tells a touching story. It is both emotional, and a story about Jesus touching two people to bring healing and restoration.
One person was the daughter of the synagogue ruler. She was at the center of the community. She was sick and died before Jesus could reach her.
The other person was a woman whose bleeding disorder had rendered her “unclean” and untouchable for twelve years. She was on the margins.
This story shows us how Jesus did not discriminate. He touched both women and restored them to right relationships to themselves, to community, and to God.
Who needs a healing touch in your world today?
In this livestream I explore Paul’s prayers for his people along with Psalm 52 by creating an original piece of art in about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Join me on a grand art adventure in July at Camp House. I will be the Artist in Residence from Jun 29-July 5.
The readings for this week bring us to two epic stories of overcoming the odds. Young David defeats the mighty Goliath with only a sling and a stone…and faith in God. Jesus speaks to a mighty storm on the sea of Galilee and it becomes still.
