"Fruits of the Spirit #1"

-- C.V., girl, age 15

"But the spiritual nature produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There are no laws against things like that. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their corrupt nature along with its passions and desires. If we live by our spiritual nature, then our lives need to conform to our spiritual nature. We can't allow ourselves to act arrogantly and to provoke or envy each other." (Gal 5:22-26)
 

 "Fruits of the Spirit #2"

-- C.V., girl, age 15

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another." (Gal 5:22-26)

 

 

"The Light of the World"

-- C.V., girl, age 15

"Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. He said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have a life filled with light and will never live in the dark.'" (Joh 8:12)

 

"Never Severed"

-- C.V., girl, age 15
"What will separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or violent death separate us from his love? As Scripture says: 'We are being killed all day long because of you. We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered.' The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties. I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love which Christ Jesus our Lord shows us. We can't be separated by death or life, by angels or rulers, by anything in the present or anything in the future, by forces or powers in the world above or in the world below, or by anything else in creation." (Rom 8:35-39)

"The Mirror"

-- C.V., girl, age 15

"Do what God's word says. Don't merely listen to it, or you will fool yourselves. If someone listens to God's word but doesn't do what it says, he is like a person who looks at his face in a mirror, studies his features, goes away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. However, the person who continues to study God's perfect teachings that make people free and who remains committed to them will be blessed. People like that don't merely listen and forget; they actually do what God's teachings say." (Jam 1:22-25)

"Earthly Treasure"

-- C.V., girl, age 15

"Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. Instead, store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust don't destroy and thieves don't break in and steal." (Mat 6:19-20)

"The Ascension"

-- H.R., girl, age 13

"While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken to heaven." (Luk 24:51)

"The Last Supper"

-- H.R., girl, age 13

"Then Jesus took bread and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, 'This is my body, which is given up for you. Do this to remember me.'" (Luk 22:19)

"Firm Faith"

-- C.V., girl, age 15

"Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm." (2Co 1:24)

"Walking on the Narrow Way"

-- C.V., girl, age 16

""Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." (Mat 7:13-14)

 "The Four Seeds"
-- C.V., girl, age 16
(Mat 13:1-9; 18-23)

 "Shining Light"
-- C.V., girl, age 16

""Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Mat 5:16)

 "Lilies of the Field"
-- H.R., girl, age 13

""And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these." (Mat 6:28-29)

 "The Lord's Supper"
-- C.V., girl, age 16

"While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins." (Mat 26:26-28)

 "English Breakfast"
-- C.V., girl, age 16

""Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; " (Mat 3:8)

""My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples." (Joh 15:8)

"All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness." (Heb 12:11)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

God's Creation

This room in our gallery contains artwork depicting scenes of God's creation.  Please check back from time to time, as we continue to add new artwork to this room, as well as other rooms in our galleries. You may click on the thumbnail images below to enlarge them.

"The Bloom of Spring"

-- Charity Lacroix

"A Tree by the Water"

-- F.R., girl, age 11

"He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers." (Psa 1:3)

"Like a Mustard Seed"

 -- F.R., girl, age 11

"He presented another parable to them, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES.'" (Mat 13:31-32)

"A Brush with Life"

 -- F.R., girl, age 11

"Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light." (Psa 36:5-9)

"As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people From this time forth and forever." (Psa 125:2)

 "God Cares"
-- C.R., boy, age 8

"'Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?'" (Mat 6:26)

 "God's Creation"
-- C.R., boy, age 9

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Gen 1:1)

"In the Garden"

by Lea in 2022*

*"In the Garden" painting: Our daughter Faith shared that one of her coworkers gave her a gift that really blessed her. The gift is a painting this lady created (pictured above). The lady is a sister in Christ that recently took up painting as a hobby. But when Faith brought the painting home and showed us, we could see it was very beautiful and that this lady is very gifted by the Lord with artistic talent. The painting is good enough to be in an art gallery, and she gave Faith the original. 

She told Faith that when she did the painting, she was picturing herself in the bottom right corner on a rock spending time with the Lord with the water cascading down across the rocks above her.  It is based on the hymn called "In the Garden" that says, "I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses." The gift of the painting really touched Faith's heart, especially because of the kindness of this lady, and how much the painting meant to the artist.
