Online Lenten Art Series: Questions God Asks

CHICAGO, IL (April 9, 2014) — We often don’t hesitate to come to God with our questions. But how much do we take the time to consider the numerous questions God asks of us throughout Scripture? He asks, not because he doesn’t know the answer of course, but rather to lead us to reflect on our lives and communities.

As a way of inviting that contemplation and prayer during this season of Lent, the Department of Communication is publishing photographs and images of artwork created by Covenanters. Each week will focus on a question God asks his people. This week is John 13:38—“Will you really lay your life down for me?”

A new gallery will be posted each Wednesday. To view week six, click here.
