Making in the Name of the Lord
Paul writes, "And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus." The totality of Paul's statement tells us that there is a way to do art, making, and creativity in the character of and through the eyes of the Lord. In this sermon we consider 5 principles that help us apply all that we've been learning about art and faith as artists.
Main Scripture

Reflection Questions
1) How is the short biblical phrase "Is this not the carpenter?" (Mark 6: 3) full of wisdom for our theology of art and faith? 2) How does human art take on special significance in our age of generative AI? 3) What are valid subjects for Christians' art? How does the question "How much of life is Jesus Lord over?" help us answer? 4) How can artists balance a commitment to excellence with a commitment to play and exploration? 5) Have you ever struggled with making an idol out of your art? What was that experience like? 6) How is discipleship in general intimately connected to our ability to make art "in the name of the Lord?"
