Shake off the dust. Mark A Hewitt, pastel & pencil. 7 July 2012
Mark 6:1-13 Jesus sent the disciples out to preach, teach & heal. ‘If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet …..’ What a great image of letting go & moving on when you have been in a place or situation that has hurt when all you have done is tried your best.

Peace! Be Still! Pastel & Acrylic, Mark A Hewitt. 20 June 2012
Mark 4:35-41. Jesus stills the waters from the boat with his words. Peace! Be Still! Here we see the words fused with the waters, calming the waters. We may be standing in darkness yet Jesus’ peace will flow around us.

Parable of the mustard seed growing into a large shrub.
Mark A Hewitt 1999 Lino cut & water colour.
Mustard shrub with a Superb Fairy Wren nesting in it’s shade. Mark 4:30-32
The mustard seed is so small although when it grows into a shrub it can reach 3 metres. God’s basileia can be experienced in the most unspectacular, commonplace or “shrub like” events. This is God’s world located in the ordinary. It may start small but will end up disproportionally large. Pentecost 3 Yr B
The people wanted a King. Pastel, Mark A Hewitt 7 June 2012
This is not a joyous occasion, the people again reject God. God & the prophet Samuel were not happy yet God stays with the people and they get their king.
