In a culture marked by spiritual apathy, social injustice, political polarization, and self-absorbed living, Jonah and Amos speak with timely relevance for our lives in Denver today.
Jonah is a story-driven prophetic book centered around a reluctant prophet who is called to preach repentance to Israel’s enemies in Nineveh. Jonah refuses, not out of fear, but because he knows God is merciful—and he doesn’t want Nineveh to receive that mercy. God relentlessly pursues both Jonah and the Ninevites, extending His compassion to rebels—insiders and outsiders alike.

The heavy darkness in the drawing is showing how the psalmist feels. The eyes in the trees are the wicked hiding and their evil deeds. The tumbled down buildings are a picture of the ugliness of sin and injustice going on in normal life and the broken sadness in Psalm 10. The tree with the snake on it shows how sin can also look tempting. The bright kingdom far off represents heaven and the psalmist trusting in God’s faithfulness even in his sadness.
