Jesus Teaching Beside the Sea

Jesus stands on a stony lakeshore, speaking to a small gathering seated at the water’s edge. The listeners wear simple first-century garments and face Him attentively, while the calm water reflects the figures against a barren mountain landscape. The setting evokes the Gospel accounts of Jesus teaching beside the Sea of Galilee, where crowds came to hear the word of God and receive instruction in the kingdom. In Mark 2:13 and Mark 4:1, Jesus teaches along the sea, turning an ordinary shoreline into a place of revelation, discipleship, and public ministry. This artwork is well suited for sermon visuals, Bible study materials, Gospel teaching resources, discipleship themes, and church presentations on the ministry of Christ. by Erik Stenbakken
