Acrylic Paint on Canvas | 12' x 12’ 

This painting places the spiritual gifts of 1 Corinthians 12 in a relatable, everyday space—a still life on a desk that reflects our lives and the narratives our belongings hold. The mirror, framed by a vine, symbolizes unity and self-reflection, while the open book represents wisdom and knowledge, and the candles embody faith and endurance. The vases celebrate service, showing how spiritual gifts are woven into daily life. By presenting these symbols in an ordinary setting, I want to show that spiritual gifts are tangible and accessible, meant to equip us for connection, growth, and grace in the rhythm of our everyday lives.

GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE

Love is patient, love is kind ….. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Many couples choose this passage for their wedding day, as I did with my husband 40 years ago, and this passage describes how we are to love one another with a selfless, unconditional Biblical love. As two that become one, we must strive for this radical love – one that is not a feeling, but an action. Placing God as the foundation and center of our marriage helps us to persevere when life gets tough and enriches us as we rejoice and celebrate the joys life together.

LOVE IS

Original Pastel | 9x12 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

God is love. 1 John 4:8

LOVE TRANSFORMS

Lauren Stanger | $100.00

Listen to Artist

Acrylic Painting 

When reading 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, I was reminded that the love of Jesus redeems and transforms us. I then illustrated this truth by combining a realistic earthly setting with an abstract representation of Christ with us.

The silhouette of the person looking into the mirror is personified by the characteristics of someone before they came to Christ. In contrast the silhouette reflected back in the mirror, is joined by Christ who is actively redeeming their heart, thus depicting the new characteristics of a person who is walking in faith.

For by Christ’s perfect love we are free and made new in His likeness.

LOVE: A DAILY LIGHT

Acrylic Paint on Wood Panel, Neon Sign 

This piece is inspired by a season of loneliness where I profoundly experienced God’s love. Through people, quiet moments of conviction, and the gift of new beginnings, He reminded me of my worth and His enduring presence.

The glowing neon “Love” symbolizes this constant light, surrounded by words like patient, kind, and hopeful, reflecting the essence of 1 Corinthians 13. This work is a reminder that love is not distant or abstract—it is active, personal, and transformative, reflecting God’s presence in every moment.

He lived the perfect life.

Jesus died on a cross.

And was buried.

But then,

on the third day

Jesus rose to life!

Abstract Acrylic

Have you ever wanted to be proficient in sharing the Gospel with your friends and family? We overcomplicate it and lose the simplicity of the message in our atrocity of verbosity. This piece may help you visualize the simplicity of the message.

The Gospel is simply this (1 Cor. 15:3-8):

1) Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

2) Jesus was buried.

3) Jesus was raised on the third day.

4) If you believe this and bow your knee to Christ’s Lordship, YOU WILL BE SAVED.        (Rom.10: 9-10)

THE ILLUMINATED PATH

Reverse Acrylic on Glass

I Corinthians 10:12-13

I enjoy hiking to scenic vistas, but I know not to get too close to the edge. I can relate to thinking I am standing on firm ground, but I still must be careful not to fall. This verse in 1 Corinthians reminded me of a recent hike to White Rock Mountain. The path is very narrow in places and I was hiking close to sunset. I adapted the actual scene to show the sun illuminating a path that will lead out of the dark valley.

Paul reminds us that when we are tempted, God provides a way out. But we need to turn from where we are standing and move towards where He is directing while we can still see the way.

A HEART LIKE HIS

Michelle Jordan | $300.00

Watercolor on Canvas, 20” x 16” 

I was inspired by several Scriptures:  

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalms 51:10 ESV)

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you, I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26 NIV) (God will take a stubborn, unrepentant heart and replace it with a heart that is responsive and capable of love and obedience to his will.)  

“Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” (Psalms 36:5-7 ESV) 

CERULEAN PROCESS

Shari Oliver | $44.00

Paint Pen on Paper, 23” x 19” 

Every soul is complete the moment we say yes to Jesus, yet we are also in process. Each color represents a different attribute: Authentic, Spiritual, Generous, Obedient, and Unanxious. The differing ratios of color symbolize our individual growth journeys—how some strengths lead while others are being refined. We are unified in shape and purpose, yet uniquely formed in how His spirit works through us. 

This piece was born from a personal wrestling with growth and grace—learning to pursue the heart of God without slipping into perfectionism. It’s a visual reminder that we are fully loved as we are, and yet lovingly called into deeper formation. The geometry is simple, but the message is layered: we belong, we are becoming, and our hearts are for the King. 

COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS

Abby McCann | Not for sale

Mixed Media – Clay, Acrylic, Watercolor, and Crayon on Wood Board 

In Cognitive Distortions, I explore the tension between my fears and the faithfulness of the Lord. Too often, I turn inward, losing sight of the love and strength the Holy Spirit offers. Cognitive distortions—irrational, self-focused thoughts—convince me I am empty and purposeless, like a flower stripped of its petals, exposed to the elements and unable to thrive. Yet God’s truth is greater. He provides the petals, designing them with beauty and purpose, sustaining and clothing us through His divine hand. The artwork’s stark contrast reflects this struggle: a frail, petal-less flower at the center represents distorted thinking, while a vibrant rush of colorful petals encircling it symbolizes God’s abundant blessings. 

But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not do so much more for you, you of little faith? Matthew 6:30, LEB 

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:6–7, LEB 

PLATTER OF FISH

Jennifer Baugh | $500.00

Prismacolor Pencils and Oil Pastels on Paper 

As Christians, we are called to be a light for all people. We have a gifted opportunity to show empathy, compassion, care, and loving kindness to others. In doing so, Christ will be seen in us. The hope then, is that our light will ignite the light of Christ in another and the community will blossom.   

Matthew 7:12 invites us to join in Christ's community.  

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” 

Platter of Fish was created using a pewter fish shaped platter as a template. As one fish took shape another was created alongside it until the page was full. The light of Christ can be seen as an ultraviolet light passes among the fish. One light shines through and then the next as the community grows.

REVERSAL

Suzanne Underwood Rhodes | Not for sale

Original Poem

This poem is written in a French form called a dizain, dating back to the 15th century, which means “decades,” or tens. The form calls for ten lines of ten syllables each, and these follow a set rhyme scheme of ABABBCCDCD. Some of my rhymes are “slant” or approximate, like “breast” and “breath,” “daylight” and “mate,” and this I intended to embody the irregularities and disruptions we experience in this ragged earthly life.

I was inspired to write the poem by contemplating the Beatitude “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matt. 5:4). Having lost my beloved husband Wayne to sudden death, having found him dead but being unable to comprehend death in that surreal moment when I held him in my arms, I find my “flood subject” in writing to be heaven and resurrection. Not only him but also my sister Robyn who died of cancer when she was only 38, and I remember touching her stone face in the casket and inwardly, defiantly proclaiming that death was never meant to be and that she who loved Jesus and led me to him was not there in that cold carapace.

Some dark streak of me will always be in mourning. Some brightness of heaven will forever comfort me.

“Flummoxed” might be a better title.

How can it be that the humble, the ones who mourn inherit the Kingdom of heaven? And yet, this as yet unseen kingdom is real now. I am captive of it and can hear the echoes of its warnings. The Sermon on the Mount is a world heard, then seen, then heeded. Flummoxed, yes!  

Even here in these ‘beatitudes’—these blessings—he shows us who will inherit heaven here and now and then the Kingdom prepared. 

UNANXIOUS FLOWERS

Howard Thompson | Not for sale

Photograph

The unanxious heart is like the lilies of the field or the birds in the air. This photo along ARK14 contrasts the anxious and the unanxious heart. The lilies (actually daffodils) were planted decades ago and keep coming back without a care in the world, oblivious to time. They show the splendor and grace of the ultimate Gardener, which contrasts the old abandoned house in the background. Without caring and faith it has decayed much like those with the anxious earthly heart.

What has become of the owners of the house? Lord only knows.  Are they lost in time? Lord only knows. They have moved on – but to what end? Lord only knows. Was it because their cares were more of this earth than of faith? Lord only knows. Did their anxiety of this earth overcome the unanxious heart of faith? Lord only knows. 

BUT the house faith built is disappearing - unless someone with vision and faith brings restoration.

UNDER HIS WINGS

Kathleen Woolsey | Not for sale

Mixed Media on Canvas, 20”x20”

This painting is a visual meditation on the contrast between inner peace and external chaos.  

The storm raging in the background represents the ever-present worries and anxieties that threaten to overwhelm us. Its dark clouds and restless energy echo the emotional turbulence we often face in our lives. 

In the foreground, a woman sits at peace, untouched by the storm. Above her a dove symbolizes God’s presence, quiet yet unwavering, constant. The beauty of the birds and wildflowers that surround her, serve as reminders of His care. God knows and provides what his children need.   

This work is a tribute to the peace that can be found through faith and trust.  

YOUR FATHER, WHO SEES WHAT IS DONE IN SECRET

Jimmy Cook | Not for sale

Original Poem

This poem is a meditation on Jesus’ promise in Matthew 6, that we can encounter the creator of the universe in the secret places of internal lives. The authors of the New Testament argue that God’s Spirit dwells in us, and that we are a new kind of temple. In the ancient world the temple was the place where heaven touches earth. For followers of Jesus, that place of connection is in our interior life with God.

“Love is Patient; Love is Kind; Love is not Proud”

Haleigh Hull | $60.00

For these vessels and botanicals, I was inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:4-6. The vases were made four years ago as centerpieces for my wedding. 1 Corinthians 13 was read at our ceremony, and I found it impossible not to choose these vases for this Spectra series. Each vessel was selected carefully to match the different attributes of Godly Love. The three features I wanted to focus on were love is patient, love is kind, and love is not proud.

Each vase was handbuilt using a pinch and coil method, building on the previous level. The vessels were chosen due to their organic shapes, which cannot be replicated, to reflect how pure and intentional Godly love is.  

Plants, flowers, and arrangements are the most common ways we, as humans, tell others that we love them. We send flowers to baby showers, plants for condolences, bouquets for gratitude- all as a way to say, "I love you, I'm here, I care." These plants were specifically picked for their contrasting colors and textures with their matched vessel. The connection between my own wedding, 1 Corinthians 13, and botanicals as an act of love, has ended in a beautiful compilation that I am excited to share with Fellowship Bentonville.

Church of Corinth

Selby McDowell | Not for sale

1 Corinthians takes place at a time when the Church was divided. Many Christians were enveloped in the culture of Corinth and worldly influences around them. Paul wrote this letter to remind these believers of their true identity as the body of Christ and encouraged them to persevere and grow in their faith (1 Corinthians 3).

My hope for this painting is to capture the major themes found in 1 Corinthians. The different shapes and colors symbolize the different cultures and backgrounds found amongst believers in Corinth, and their broken placements demonstrate disunity amongst the church. The faded areas around the edges represent the influence of the world on the hearts of many believers in Corinth. The outline of Jesus is included to demonstrate the true identity and unity found as a member of the body of Christ.

Co-Workers

Andrew White | $75.00

The visual focus of the painting is a young plant just springing from the seed. New roots grow to anchor the plant as they search for water and nourishment in the earth. The plant is the focus because it is likewise the focus of the Father. It is the fruit of the co-laboring taking place between the one who plants, the one who waters, and God the One “Who makes things grow." New life and the Glorification of God is ultimately the goal, not to augment or inflate the value of the earthly co-laborers.

The painting appears to be chaotic but also formulaic. It is sort of a beautiful mess that speaks to our existence outside the garden. In our chaos, the Father brings life. In addition, through His marvelous Grace, He calls us to be “Co-Workers” in this task of life-bringing. Paul reminds us to not lose focus on what is taking place here. It is the Father who is doing the work, and He allows us to co-labor with Him. While this is a mind-blowing privilege, the one who plants is not more valuable than the one who waters the seed or vice versa. It is, in fact, the Father that actually deserves the Glory. We must be mindful to maintain a properly balanced relationship with the Father. The Father always works in Divine balance to carry out His works and this often happens in 3’s.

The Significance of 3: Throughout God’s Word, the number 3 is used to signify Divine completion. The Trinity, and Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection are just two examples of many others throughout the Bible. This painting is constructed on a series of 3’s to reflect God’s Divine plan to bring new life in perceived chaos.

• The scripture is taken from the 3rd chapter in 1 Corinthians

• There are 3 co-workers represented by 3 circles.

• There are 3 elements to the equation: the seed, the water, and light, (the Grower)

• The painting is created from 3 materials: canvas, cardboard, and paint.

Fools Gold

Shannon Torgerson | Not for sale

The riches we have in Christ are hidden from those who don’t believe the gospel, but for the children of God, they are living and active. Some of the riches we gain are visible to those around us as our life is transformed by the power of God. Others are hidden treasures that we ponder in our hearts, waiting for the redemption of all things. And some, we just believe are ours in Christ, because he said so--even when we don’t see it or feel it.

Flowers have long been symbolic representations of the inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences of humanity. The Victorian era was firmly tied to land and garden. The people of this era saw flowers as a gift from God with real and natural significance that corresponded to actual emotion. It was seen as a way God communicates with us through creation and a way we can communicate with one another.

Grace for the Straying

Mason Middleton | $1,000.00

My piece, “Grace for the Straying,” is made from black and white charcoal with a black painted background. This image depicts Jesus bottle-feeding a goat and is a visual exploration rooted in the passage of 1 Corinthians 3:1-4.

In this scripture, Paul addresses the church of Corinth, bringing to light the problems of their spiritual immaturity. The image of bottle-feeding, typically associated with nurturing the young, represents the basic spiritual sustenance Paul believed the Corinthians still required despite their potential for greater spiritual growth.

Choosing to depict a goat instead of the more traditional sheep was a deliberate decision, symbolizing the church of Corinth's troubled state. In biblical symbolism, sheep often represent the faithful, those who follow and are guided by the shepherd, while goats can signify stubbornness or even cruelty in ways. By portraying the church as a goat, I aimed to capture the essence of Paul's frustration with the Corinthians, who were not living up to their spiritual potential.

This piece also dives into the broader theme of spiritual nourishment and the complexities of surrendering all guidance to God. The act of Jesus bottle-feeding the goat suggests a profound patience and love, even toward those who stray or resist. It highlights the ongoing effort required to nurture and guide individuals or communities that are not yet ready to fully embrace their spiritual path. Through this artwork, I seek to evoke reflection on the relationship between divine care and human shortcomings, emphasizing the continuous need for spiritual growth and the need for a savior.

Love Is

Olivia Heston | Not for sale

The love passage in 1st Corinthians 13 is profound and beautiful; rightfully familiar but impossible to obtain on our own. I find so much peace and joy knowing there is One who fulfills the astonishing implications of these verses fully and perfectly. Our God is the only one who can claim to be Love Himself. Seeing the endless depths of meaning in God’s word—here, specifically when two separate passages are seen together—inspires me to remember and praise my first love, the Lord (Revelation 2).

Here, I pair the verses of 1st Corinthians 13:4-12 with my own response, inspired by 1 John 4:16, “God is Love.” First, the passage is presented phrase by phrase in a traditional script, representing the voice of the Lord. I use the English Standard Version, repeating some nouns for clarity. My paraphrase is then written in a contemporary font and voice beside it. 

Noise and Love

Elizabeth Koerner | Not for sale

“Love” has sixteen qualities described in this passage; none are given more weight or value; all are intrinsic to God’s love. God demonstrated His love for us while we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Those who have accepted Christ’s freely offered forgiveness receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit produces fruit in believers, beginning with love (Galatians 5:22).

This woven green patterned jacquard fabric represents the growth, complexity and beauty of love. Each segment of the jacket design, highlighted by the black floral brocade fabric divisions, represents one trait of “Love” in this passage. The jacket starts at the shoulder with fitted lines and quickly grows to a voluminous size.

Every element of “Love” grows in this look. The volume of this jacket represents the potential vibrancy and growth of love for God and the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:31b)

Only He Knows

Jenny Sorey | Not for sale

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

Artist’s Statement | This self-portrait captures the complexity of internal thoughts and the journey toward understanding one's worth and purpose through the Spirit. The creation of this piece titled, “Only He Knows” is part of my healing journey. As I pray and meditate, the Lord reveals certain words that I capture through cut and paste journaling. There are hidden words in this work that symbolize persistent personal thoughts - those that represent questions about life, regrets about mistakes, dreams and plans... that only God and myself know. And the visible ones in the piece are the things that I am ready to share with my community.

1 Corinthians 2:9-12 resonates deeply, highlighting that despite these inner battles, we are gifted with God's Spirit, which reveals our true value and purpose. This assurance empowers us to embrace our identity as God created us and to extend that growth into loving others well. May this work inspire you to recognize your divine worth and to reflect love and purpose in all your relationships, pointing others toward our AWESOME Maker and Creator…our Savior.

Our Foundation

Liz Cox | $325.00

In this scripture passage, Paul speaks of building with care upon the foundation already laid, which is Christ Jesus. Gold, silver, and precious stones are considered quality materials and represent dedicated spiritual service to build the church. Wood, hay, and straw are considered inferior materials and imply shallow activity with no eternal value.

In considering this passage, I was reminded of the precious stones decorating the foundation of the new Jerusalem mentioned in Revelation 21:19-20. I have represented the Foundation Stone with the name of God (I AM that I AM) and layered each of the materials mentioned by Paul on top of this Foundation. Each of the twelve precious stones were researched and painted on paper, then collaged on the canvas, followed by layers of wood, hay or straw.

Prayer of Enlightenment

Evan Crawford | Not for sale

These verses have been on my mind and heart – in a season when many things are beginning, yet there is still much unknown. These questions roll around in my soul:

Will I let the fruit of patience grow in me?

Will I bring my preparation and surrender it to Him with expectation?

Will I trust completely the One Who holds all plans in His capable and creative hands?

Knowing the Spirit reveals what I can bear…will I make enough space for Him to speak the deep things of God to me?

I will need to pray the above poem regularly.

Refined by Fire

Beth Wright | Not for sale

Inspired by 1 Corinthians 3, my work explores the concept of portraying different areas of my life by using different materials. Just as a builder uses concrete as a solid base, I have Jesus Christ as my firm foundation.

I also used materials such as granite, charred wood and copper. Granite symbolizes the enduring, unshakable foundation of truth and integrity. Charred wood reflects the carnal and often destructive elements of my life that are tested and burned away over time. They are a reminder to keep my eyes focused on Christ as I continue to build my life on the eternal Word of God. With its evolving surface, Patina copper represents transformation and the scars of hurts and struggles left through life experience.  

Together, these materials cohesively reflect the temporary things in life and our eternal cornerstone, Christ, my Lord and Savior.  

Unconditional

Katie Yen | Not for sale

Love is patient, love is kind ... this verse is well known to so many, even those unfamiliar with the Bible, a fact that made me want to interpret it in a new way. An alternate title that came to mind was 'Corinthians Confessional,' since I'm laying bare something I'm not proud I did as a child. Now that I'm a parent, I remind myself that I was once a kid, and that everyone needs a little more patience, a little more love, and a touch of kindness (okay, a lot more).

Unity

Chris Gross | Not for sale

In 1 Corinthians, the Unity of the Body of Christ comes to attention. Paul received reports of believers having divisions, jealousy, strife among them. He further said they have been behaving like mere men and before unbelievers.

The correction Paul uses is a very upside-down Kingdom approach. He asks, “Why not be wronged or defrauded? Behave like you have been made complete.” Paul also reminds them that Christ is not divided…they are to be of the same mind and the same judgment.

Are we approaching each other full speed, head to head, with eyes closed and no regard for the other’s concerns, perspective or wellbeing?

Upside-Down World

Beth Wright | Not for sale

I was inspired by the passage of 1 Corinthians 3, which describes the upside-down perception of the carnal world. An individual who does not have the dwelling of the Holy Spirit cannot comprehend the unchanging, absolute truth of God. In an attempt to appear to be wise, they are, as the scripture states, FOOLS. They are wise in their own eyes and demeaning to those who are divinely spiritual as though they are fools.

In contrast, the Spirit of God empowers the true believer with wisdom that transcends the superficial and gives one a profound clarity of life that guides one to a deeper, more meaningful existence. I encourage believers to consider themselves “Fools for Christ” and remain humble, all the while fully understanding that we are truly wise because of the Spirit of God.  

It is my hope that viewers will be prompted to seek a deeper, more spiritually attuned perspective of this sinful world through the contrasting themes of each letter. I encourage believers to recognize the difference between worldly, carnal nature and divine wisdom that only comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 

Wisdom of the Spirit "Seeking the Spirit"

Brenda Godwin | $750.00

I stand before the easel; how do I paint the Spirit of God? Yes, this is an impossible task. Nature and the Creation are my playground with God. In this piece, I try to capture the Spirit with the Senses that God created in each of us.

No eye has seen, as in the wind; I do not see it, but I feel its presence on my face. No ear has heard, my heart beats with joy or sadness, the Spirit interprets each heartbeat. No mind has conceived; until the moment I gave my heart to Jesus as my Lord and Savior, because of His death and resurrection and the promise of salvation, then God revealed to me the Secret Wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of God is that “gut-feeling” within me, that small voice that whispers inside me like no other. The Spirit of God carries my prayers and lays them at the feet of Jesus who sits on the right hand of Lord God Almighty.
