The Visual Gospel

Scarlet Steps this year far exceeded my expectations and I have no idea how we're going to top it next year. The gospel was presented through a variety of impressive mediums, styles, and expressions but all with one intentional message -- God sent His Son, for you and for me, to die on a cross. He was then resurrected by God as it was predicted by the prophets in the Old Testament, and those who believe in Him will have their sins forgiven and will be with Him forever.


To see the Gospel presented in a visual way like this was amazing. Each piece of art was well thought out and deeply moving. There were descriptions of the artwork next to each piece so you got an insiders view into the artist's creative process. Below is the piece I did this year.

 "For All Who Fear Him"
Acrylic on Canvas
My painting below is based on Acts 10:34, 35 where Peter realizes how God shows no favoritism to anyone. Christ died for every sinner, no matter what culture, gender or background.
