  • Receiving Gods Peace

    Receiving Gods Peace

    I had the opportunity to sketchnote a service for West End Baptist church in SC and it was awesome! Pastor Ray brought a great message of peace and where you could find it and I was honored to try and capture it all. There was A LOT that I cut from this one; I literally…

  • Rickisms!

    Rickisms!

    This was a commission for my brother-in-law Rick Ouimet, pastor of Mosaic Church here in Lynchburg. It’s a summation of his most often used (and beloved) catch phrases! His wonderful wife wanted to surprise him with it for his birthday and I appreciated being a part of it. You could probably string together an entire…

  • Discipline Equals Freedom

    Discipline Equals Freedom

    *Quick note: This is a diversion from the kind of content I usually post here but here’s what I’m thinking. I like books but I tend to buy more than I read (this book came out in 2017)- I don’t want to have a big library so I’m going to read the books, summarize and…

  • Preachers N Sneakers – Whitney Bauck

    Preachers N Sneakers – Whitney Bauck

    Ok, this one needs some context. If you’re not familiar with @preachersnsneakers , it’s an account that features pastors and other Christian leaders wearing really expensive clothes. Did I mention it’s controversial? It’s controversial. “Tyler” the anonymous person that runs the account has a genuine heart and an excellent podcast. On this episode, @unwrinkling spoke at length about our…

  • Sing Noel – O’ Holy Night

    Sing Noel – O’ Holy Night

    When Charles Billingsley gives a sermon, he definitely leaves you with a couple of things to think about along with some great facts and stories. This Sunday at Thomas Road Baptist Church was no exception. This note was a little difficult because there was SO MUCH that I had to cut and I already I…

  • Sing Noel – Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

    Sing Noel – Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

    Sermons like the one Scott Bullman preached this weekend at TRBC always stick with me because the idea of angels out there walking among us is interesting, comforting, and terrifying all at the same time. I’ve been thinking about them ever since the sermon. I remember Charles preaching a sermon about them a couple of…

  • Drawing at Church

    Drawing at Church

    It’s no secret that I draw at church but this last weekend my 9-year-old wanted to stay with us instead of heading back to his service so he could draw. I can’t express how happy this made me! Although just like me he ended the service with black ink all over his hand. 😅

  • Sing Noel

    Sing Noel

    Thomas Road Baptist Church has a great series leading up to Christmas! Learned a lot in this one… https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_acmbulfn/116662521

  • A Season of Giving for the Joy of Living

    A Season of Giving for the Joy of Living

    I can’t imagine how hard it is for a pastor to preach a sermon about giving; I think Pastor Jonathan did a good job at Thomas Road Baptist Church of balancing that line pretty well and also calling out some of the huckster-style tactics that we see from “pastors” on those late night infomercial type things. Giving…

  • Resolving Conflict

    Resolving Conflict

    My brother-in-law is the lead pastor over at Mosaic Church and it’s a crime that I haven’t sketched out his sermons before because they are top notch 👌🏼! If you’re looking for direction in resolving conflict start here! Well, talk to God first, then circle back in this direction… https://www.mosaicva.com/podcast/resolving-conflict-part-4

  • Daniel 6

    Daniel 6

    There’s a lot to talk about! First – yesterday’s message at Thomas Road Baptist Church was great! I think any Daniel sermon series would end in the lion’s den and in a weird way I was dreading it because drawing fur is not my strong suit. I initially had more lions in the scene but it was…

  • Daniel 3: Though He Slay me, I will trust HIM

    Daniel 3: Though He Slay me, I will trust HIM

    There were a lot of notes to take at Thomas Road Baptist Church this week including one of the more hardcore verses in the Old Testament (Daniel 3:18.) Pastor Jonathan spoke of having an “Insane Faith” and how we should never compromise our faith for popularity considering the price these people were willing to pay.  I thought…

  • Daniel 2: But God!

    Daniel 2: But God!

    “Life is not fair!” So TRUE! 😅 https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_vnyj3smv/116662521

  • Daniel 1: The Story of Daniel

    Daniel 1: The Story of Daniel

    I’m enjoying this series about Daniel; I’ve always wondered why we always refer to Daniel by his Hebrew name but his friends by their Babylonian names? 🤔 https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_vi2d3vz4/116662521

  • Won’t you be my Neighbor – Part IV

    Won’t you be my Neighbor – Part IV

    I created a sketchy sermons Facebook page – if you’re into that, you can find it here! https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_94hn4n7w/116662521

  • Won’t you be my Neighbor – Part III

    Won’t you be my Neighbor – Part III

    Coach Thomas Mullins was the guest speaker at TRBC this weekend and there was so much good stuff it was hard to whittle down my notes to just the few things I documented here. There were great stories about the collaboration between Thomas Road and his church down in Florida in helping out in the…

  • Won’t you be my Neighbor – Part II

    Won’t you be my Neighbor – Part II

    Imagine if everyone on twitter listened to and followed the instructions in today’s message. Geez, do most Christians even follow this? I don’t have anybody that I hate but this message definitely gave me guidance on how I speak and think about public figures. 🤔 Thank you Pastor Jonathan! https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_alwmyzvm/116662521

  • Won’t you be my Neighbor

    Won’t you be my Neighbor

    This was such a great message; I feel like so many churches are rushing to align themselves politically and Pastor Jonathan quoted Jesus pretty simply here… https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_nhwlmupi/116662521

  • Jesus in the House

    Jesus in the House

    Charles Billingsley gave the sermon at Thomas Road on Sunday; this guy is apparently talented at everything!! https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_0u6ioi5q/116662521

  • Get in the Game

    Get in the Game

    “You don’t change the world by being a nice guy!”  As a stereotypical “nice guy” this gives me a lot to think about. 🧐 Great message over at TRBC on Sunday. https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_r6n000dr/116662521

  • Good News for Hard Times – Part IV

    Good News for Hard Times – Part IV

    I’m a week behind! 😬 Here are last weeks sermon notes from TRBC as we continue to roll through 1 Peter. I’ll catch up this week and have today’s sermon notes up soon. 1 Peter 3:16 is a doozy. I included the time-lapse so you can see how many times I have to erase when making these…

  • Good New for Hard Times – Part III

    Good New for Hard Times – Part III

    1 Peter is packed with some awesome stuff. Pastor Jonathan had a ton of notes at Thomas Road and I tried to summarize it the best I could but there was just so much! https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_akaq7qh3/116662521

  • Good New for Hard Times – Part II

    Good New for Hard Times – Part II

    “A faith that is tested is a faith that is trusted.” Worship leader extraordinaire Scott Bullman took the reigns at TRBC this last Sunday to continue the Good News for Hard Times series. This series is a little difficult to illustrate because there is SO MUCH CONTENT. The handout they gave us had 4 pages…

  • Good News for Hard Times – Part I

    Good News for Hard Times – Part I

    “We are not yet home.” Both Pastor Jonathan and I were taking notes with an Apple Pencil this morning and there were A LOT of notes to take. This’ll be a 5 part series so I’m thinking of stringing the next few sermon notes together so it’ll just be one long image when it’s through!…

  • The Call to Continue

    The Call to Continue

    I don’t know if Jonathan has ever said it but I imagine the “Jesus First’ pin that he always wears on his lapel belonged to his dad; I try to make sure it’s on there every time I draw him! I really appreciated the sermon this morning, not only is there a great promise in…

  • God’s Timing is Always Perfect

    God’s Timing is Always Perfect

    Ok, today’s sermon by Ben Gutierrez was kinda tricky for me. I think I’ve gotten used to Pastor Jonathan’s sermon style so when someone else speaks it takes me a second to get a feel for where it’s going. I don’t think I really got it until I redrew it tonight but I tried to…

  • Discipline Goes a Long Way

    Discipline Goes a Long Way

    Another great sermon at TRBC today! Pastor Jonathan spoke about discipline which I would think is difficult because it can mean so many different things to different people.  Usually my analog notes look totally different than the digital but they were actually pretty close this time. Sometimes it all works out! https://watch.trbc.org/media/t/1_g2szdudc/116662521

    I’m going to try and start posting the sermon links. I’ll probably need to go back and update all of the other posts without sermon links. 🤔 Maybe the links will start from this post forward… https://trbc.org/sermon-archive/?sermon=2515&service=trbc
