Honoring Christ In Film And Animation-Day 3
Sing We are to see our Savior in the Words of Scripture, in the Man of Jesus, and in the beauty of creation. We are to ponder and savor what everything teaches us about Jesus himself, and then we are to sing. When I say sing, I’m not just referring to singing itself, although you will read some Scriptures today that will blow your mind regarding how singing is not just a response to truth, it helps us learn...

Savor Let’s build off yesterday’s idea of seeing God with the eyes of our hearts. Let’s continue hanging off every stroke of creation’s artistry. Let’s now savor him. One of the most visual books of the Bible, and rightly so, is Revelation. God cannot communicate his beauty to us simply in script. It has to come to us in surround sound. Read Revelation 1:1-3: The revelation of Jesus Christ, which...
Honoring Christ In Film And Animation-Day 1
SEE All that we see in creation is in essence a video, animation, or illustration of the mind of God. Think about the visual nature of the Bible. The symbols. The signs. Even Jesus himself—creation’s Master Painter and Word. Jesus is the one who dares to come into his own painting and put on flesh to show us what the Father’s like. Genesis begins with video imagery. The Spirit hovers over the waters, and thus speaks. Speaking takes...
Honoring Christ In Forming Creative Community-Day 3
God is building his temple in us Today! We leave you to study today’s Scripture and keep some questions in mind. As you read, ask yourself, “am I more priestly, prophetly, or kingly in how I go about life?” The answer might surprise you, and it will give you some bearing on how God will now use you in the artistic community of the church. At our circles page (link below)you can even take the PPK assessment to help you understand how...
Honoring Christ In Forming Creative Community-Day 2
The Creative Community We don’t have time to flesh out the fullness of how the history of Ezra, Nehemiah and Haggai/Zechariah (and even Malachi) plays out in this short study. However, notice in yesterday’s reading and in today’s study how Ezra (the priest), spends most of his time shaping the people in the Scriptures, repentance, and in art of becoming a family again after their days in a 70-year exile in the pagan Babylon. As...
Honoring Christ In Forming Creative Community-Day 1
Whirlwind Bible History To open this 3-Day study, we’re gonna’ do some whirlwind Biblical history. You ready? Let’s start at the beginning. The Trinity. Our God is “us.” He’s three, and yet he’s the shamah—our God is ONE. As the Old Testament unfolds, we see many glimpses of our Trinitarian God acting within the story, but none quite so clear as in the very moments when all of humanity rebels the most. For example, in the days of...
Honoring Christ In Our Bodies-Day 7
Renewed We rest as we are Renewed and transformed by God … 1 Peter 1:3-6 documents one of the most complete portrayals of what salvation is in all the Scripture. Read it: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in...
