Every week I compile all the visual resources on cartoonistbible.com for the lectionary readings on both the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary. CLICK HERE to get these delivered in your inbox every Monday.

I don’t have visuals for every text every week, but there is always something for the Gospels! You can also join me for a live visual text study every Monday at 4:00pm on the Cartoonist Bible Network where we discuss these texts and the use of visuals in our preaching and teaching.
