Bible Comic: Peter walking on water

The Bible comic for the Sunday of August 7th is the story of Jesus walking on water, and the apostle Peter walking out to him on the water from Matthew 14:22-33.

This comic is an excerpt from "The Story of Peter," a graphic novel retelling of the life of Peter. I am working on this project with Justin Martin, of R Squared Comicz, and we look forward to sharing more about it in the near future.

This Week's Bible Comic: Matthew 13:31-33

Here are updated versions of the parable of the mustard seed (Matthew 13:31-32) and the parable of the yeast (Matthew 13:33). Both stories illustrate that seemingly small things and small actions can have a large impact in God's domain.

Bible Comics for the Season

This week marks the beginning of a series of bible comics based on the gospel lessons in the lectionary (Revised Common Lectionary). It features Revised versions of the parables I drew three years ago, along with new materials. The pdf's are available on my website: www.earnestillustrations.com . They will be added weekly, in preparation for the coming Sunday's lessons. This last week we featured the parable of the sower.

This week, we will be looking at the parable of the good seed and the weeds, from Matthew 13
