A Veiled InheritancePrint on Fujiflex silver halide photographic paper | 30” x 20”This photo was taken on the last night of a photography workshop in the fishing village of Hamnøy, on the Lofoten Islands, Norway. The scene spoke to me emotionally while my mind reflected on the truths studied in 1 Peter. The arctic chill was harsh; I was slipping on the icy ground, the water was choppy, and the storm clouds were blowing in. The cabins reminded me of the elite exiles, chosen by God and precious, who

Peter the ApostleColored pencil on pastel paper | 10” x 10”This illustration explores who Peter the Apostle was. Within the brackets of a fishing net and a rock we explore Peter’s journey with Jesus. He was a fisherman, rock, witness to miracles, recipient of revelation and wrote and spoke with authority. From the fishing hook motif in the lettering to the three rays of light that emanate from the scribe’s pen over the waves, there are plenty of visual prompts to begin to explore Peter’s story.

The Letter: Inspired by 1 Peter 1:6–9Graphite Pencil | 24” x 18”This drawing captures an early Christian returning to find his home vandalized. Since he first heard about Peter’s letter, he has been longing to read it, and now, kneeling among his broken possessions, he finally does. As light falls across his back, the words in the letter meet his grief with hope. Sorrow gives way to joy, confusion to understanding. He is overwhelmed with gratitude for what his Lord has done. What is your response to

1 Peter is a letter written in the 60s A.D. by the apostle Peter to the Christians scattered throughout Roman provinces in Asia Minor. Peter encourages these elect exiles to hold fast to their living hope in Christ while enduring trials and suffering in the present evil age. He urges them to do so by conducting their lives with joyful holiness until the day of future grace and glory.This collection of artwork was created by various artists using different media, including visual, written, musical,

The Red Sea crossing, desert wanderings, Mount Sinai, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem are all connected to the cross of redemption through the arching olive branch of peace. The Living Water of Jesus Christ pours out of the split Rock of Ages and brings life to the desert. Groves of olive trees anoint the desert and bring hope to Jerusalem, the City

Peggy WunderlyMy TurnGraphite Pencil20” x 24” Studying Nehemiah, the word ”preparation” kept coming to mind. The rebuilding of the temple and walls were both a physical restoration and a spiritual preparation for the coming Messiah, who would fulfill God’s promises to His people. Those same walls would see the promised Messiah ride through their gates on a donkey. They would also witness His death and resurrection. But the story is not finished...there will be a white horse. Jesus humble entry on

UntitledAcrylics48” x 48” In Nehemiah, the people rejoiced when they rebuilt the temple. Their rejoicing was over something God had done for them. The people on the pages of the Bible are all experiencing joy in their circumstances. My audio recording tells the stories of these people, if you would like to hear about them. Unfortunately, there are people in the world who are still in bondage to sin and do not experience God’s light, as demonstrated in the background. My favorite part of the painting

The book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament foreshadows the coming of the Christ as both accepted God’s commands. Nehemiah rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem, and Jesus delivered the covenant, the Good News and the opportunity for salvation.

Marble statues stand tall in postures of praise with gold running through where they were once broken. The Artist who carefully carved their forms also repaired them, making them more beautiful and

Hayden AcostaThe Prayer of Wisdom - Nehemiah 1:4-11Charcoal and pencil on paper Today’s culture seems to want us to be able to always do everything on our own, yet we see time and time again in scripture that God wants us to call to Him and run to Him for guidance. Though God may not always answer with a resounding ‘Yes!’ every time, He wants us to pray, and that’s what Nehemiah did. Before any major decisions were made, he talked to God, consulting the Lord for council before he took any further

Joselito BarengThe Gracious Hand of God Nehemiah 1:1-5Colored Pencil 11” × 14” Nehemiah’s story reminds us that through persistent prayer, God is able to perform miracles in and through us, but we must be willing to do what He wants, the way He wants it done. What breaks your heart? The situations and problems in the world that break our hearts are often the very things that God wants us to take on. When God calls us to a task, it often starts with a broken heart. God knows every circumstance we

God Will DeliverColored Pencil, Pencil on Paper11” x 14” Throughout the course of Nehemiah, God has heard the prayers of Nehemiah and his people, acknowledged their obedience, and has delivered them in the face of opposition many times. Through prayer and obedience, the Lord becomes the foundation of our strength and will deliver us time and time again. As it is written in Nehemiah 8:10, “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Just like the Israelites who

In His great and awesome plan, He miraculously took a group of ordinary people with ordinary tools, and carried out His work through them! Using these ordinary tools to do the work could have felt laborious for the Israelites through the long days and nights of construction. Did they ever lose

The path leads into the sunlight.

This teaches patience to persevere in times of grief and struggle. Nehemiah went to inspect the walls down to the Dung gate. The dragon well and to the

Their food reflects the collective experiences of where they have been and who they were with. It was incorporated into their lives and their sacred traditions, notably Sabath and Festival observances.

Vanessa ZakasA Wretch Like MeOil on canvas24” x 36” When we read stories, it’s easy to identify with the heroes because we want to be the hero of our own lives but if we’re honest, we often have more in common with the villains. In the book of Nehemiah, even the title, the hero, the main character is Nehemiah. But Tobiah saw himself as the hero of his story, so much so that he chose to occupy a space designated for the things of God for his own personal use. Do we ever abuse the sacred things of God

Dishes? Bones? This sad, yet hopeful, painting explores the parallels between recovering from a natural disaster and the Israelites returning to restore (even resurrect?) their destroyed city. God saved a remnant from the disaster, though many also died. Ezra, the priest, returned first to rebuild
