Every week there will be an illustration and image pack for the Gospel lesson, guaranteed. I haven’t illustrated every text of the Bible…yet, so there may or may not be a visual for all the other readings.
Join me for a live visual text study every Monday at 4:00pm on the Art Pastor’s Network where we discuss these texts and the use of visuals in our preaching and teaching. Jump in, we’re having fun.
What is Visual Lectionary?
This video will give you a guided tour of how the Visual Lectionary can enhance your preaching, teaching, and study of the Bible.
Bring your sermons to life with the power of visual preaching.
