  • What is Truth?

    Bulletin Cover: What is Truth? This week was our second message on the 10 week Doctrine series. It was a great sermon. You can check it out here: https://www.discoverlifespring.com/736098  I’ll post my sermon sketch notes later this week. Do you believe that every word in the bible is True?

  • Sermon Sketchnotes: Who is God?

    Sermon Sketchnotes : Ps 18:31 Who is God besides the Lord? I have discovered that when I doodle a bit during the sermon I retain more. I have undertaken the study of Stechnoting which incorporates sketching into note taking. It’s a very effective method for jotting notes and increasing retention of information. I can attest…

  • Bulletin Cover : Ps 18:31 Who is God besides the Lord?

    I’m taking a manuscript class learning how to illuminate letters. So here’s my first attempt using illustrator. The pastor is starting a 10 week doctrinal series and it seemed appropriate to use illuminated letters to illustrate these doctrinal truths. Here’s the link to the sermon if you want to follow along. https://www.discoverlifespring.com/736098

  • John 6:9 In Action!

    Saturday in 27 degree weather 20 students from SIUE and some awesome folks from different churches in the area all got together and we feed the homeless. I am always amazed at these events when I think that we won’t have enough food. The pots of food just keep coming and there was more than…

  • A.W.Tozer

    “For Everyone who has crossed over to the Promised Land, there are are many who stand for a while and look longingly across the river and then turn sadly back to the comparative safety of the sandy wastes of the old life.” A. T. Tozer When the pastor asked me to use this verse for…

  • Ps 139: 15-16 You are not a Mistake!

    I get to do a lot of pieces for the Student ministry area. This piece is one in a series that affirms God love for you and the He is your Creator. God doesn’t make junk. As I am a natural doodler, I incorporated doodling into this piece. Psalm 139: 15-16 talks about how deliberately…

  • Ps 138:8 The Lord will Accomplish what Concerns us.

    Psalms 138:8 is one of those verses that everyone should commit to memory and call upon it when things get rough or you are concerned about something. We serve a magnificent God who loves each one of us very much. If you are a parent you know what’s it’s like to watch your children struggle…
