Sermon Description
Are art and faith compatible or in conflict? Why do artists often feel disenfranchised by the church? How can art help us understand ourselves? How might art actually be an alternative window into the world of faith? In this message we’ll consider these and other questions as we explore a biblical theology of art.
Main Passage(s)

Genesis 1:1-2, 27

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Exodus 35:30-33

Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts.

Psalm 27:4

One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.

Isaiah 64:8

You, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.

We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
