Graphics Options

The Narrative Alive graphics are designed with careful thought about how they relate to the text. We've provided possible sermon themes for each graphic to help you choose the direction that best fits your sermon.
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
Option A
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
Sermon themes:
•
Jesus is more than just the giver of life; he declares himself the resurrection and the life.
•
Even when circumstances feel final, Jesus promises there is more. Resurrection power confronts everything we fear: death, despair and unbelief.
•
New life begins NOW—here on Earth—and continues beyond the grave.
Graphic description:
The power of "resurrection and life" is depicted in this graphic in both the energy of the rising wave and the brightness of the rising sun. The inclusion of a water image also suggests the importance of water in baptism.

Jesus Wept
Option B
Jesus Wept
Sermon themes:
•
Jesus doesn’t run from the brokenness of humanity; instead, Jesus meets us in our sorrow and enters into our human suffering.
•
The arrival of help isn’t always on our timeline. But delayed help does not mean absent love or lost hope.
•
There is power in the fact that Jesus weeps. It reveals the heart of God toward humanity.
Graphic description:
The bleak, rainy sky over the stark landscape in this graphic conveys the depth and breadth of Jesus sorrow. This was a powerful, human emotion that filled Jesus' heart.

It's Never Too Late
Option C
It's Never Too Late
Sermon themes:
•
With Jesus, no situation is beyond repair. No situation is ever truly lost or too late.
•
Even in disappointment, Jesus is present and compassionate. What feels hopeless for humanity is never beyond Christ’s power.
•
The hope of resurrection can lift us beyond any grave we experience here on earth. Jesus speaks life where death tried to have the final word.
Graphic description:
The graphic shows a setting sun, suggesting that day is almost over. But the words, "It's never too late," echo the message of love Jesus speaks to our brokenness and suffering.
