Advent: We wait for our coming king
Micah 5 describes a conquering king who will defeat all of the pain and suffering we face everyday. Our suffering is ascribed to the sin that now rules the world. When our king, the Lord Jesus Christ returns, we believe that this sin will be destroyed and with it, our pain and suffering. Can you take comfort in knowing that our suffering is temporary?

Rough Hands (re-post)
When the God of all glory came to earth in the form of baby, the first hands to touch him were likely the callused hands of the working class. While kings and rulers were denied an audience with the new born king, shepherds were in attendance. What does that tell us about the roots of Christianity? (re-posted from 2016)

Advent: We wait with a promise
While Christians mourn with the broken and work to be like Jesus by helping the vulnerable
(James 2), we also recognize our inability to truly change the world. The great hope of the Christian, is that one day Christ will return and bring justice and mercy to our broken world. Genesis 3 gives us that first glimpse of coming savior.

Who was the first to hear that God's Son was born?
The news that God had sent HIS Son, Jesus Christ, into the world was first given to
the most socially unacceptable men of the day. Shepherds were financially poor and
socially excluded. They would not have been welcome in the worship services or Temple.
But God saw their worth, and gave the wonderful news to these "lest of these" first.
How do we treat those on the fringe our polite social circles?

What kind of God do you serve?
Have you ever wondered what kind of God is God? Moses received an answer to this question in Exodus 6, where God describes Himself as the God who made a promise to be with His people and the God who would keep this promise. One way God demonstrated this was by leading Israel as a pillar of fire. What's your response to a God who wants to be with you?

Welcome
Each of the cartoons on this site is an expression of a sermon I heard in church. As a cartoonist, my method of understanding complex theological topics is to boil them down to simple images.
These images will never do justice to the sermons from which they are derived, but hopefully, they convey at least one aspect of those sermons to you, the reader.
I hope that you gain some benefit from the cartoons and will reuse them in ways that honor Christ.
