Icon - The names of Jesus

An attempt to produce a focus on ways Jesus describes himself. From the top, moving left to right - the door (Luke 13:24), the way (John 14:6) , the true vine (John 15:1), the Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8), the light of the world (John 8:12), The bread of life (John 6:48) , t…

Poppies and Grain

by Tim Pillinger

In western Europe there is a legend that poppies come not from seeds, but the blood of those fallen in wars. Many Churches in this part of the world remember at this time of year how soldiers have, for better or for worse, laid down their lives in such conflicts.

Sidebar for a powerpoint on Jonah

by Tim Pillinger

The sea is big. So big. Urban proverbs say we know less about the sea than the surface of the moon. The bible writers describe it as a place of mystery, into which only God can probe, and only he knows what lives within.

A sheep and a lamb. New life, nourishment. Could be seen as a way of looking at how we need God to nourish us, or protect us as a shepard.

Fishing nets

by Tim Pillinger

This pile of nets made me think of the calling of Jesus' fist apostles, where he challenges Peter, Simon, Andrew and James to become Fishers of Men. On the other hand, Jesus spends much of his time near the sea, and themes of fishing appear in other parts of the gospels. He hel…

Light in Exeter Cathederal

by Tim Pillinger

Sheer exuberance and beauty in architecture to the glory of God. Then it looks better because God, the light of the world gives us the sun which gives us physical light.

Calm Water

by Tim Pillinger

Another background. Considering that this was taken in february in Devon it's probably rather less inviting than it looks. How many bible stories have water? There are stories of people going down to wells, references to the water being separated from the earth in Genesis, baptis…

The lawyer of the formerly wealthy Thessalonian writes back to Paul

by Tim Pillinger

Based on the text of "Epistles to the Apostle" in which Colin Morris extrapolates letters Paul might have recieved from the responses he gives. In this case, this man is part of his warning against idleness, and thinking he knows when Jesus will return. This is our Thessalonian's…
