Intimacy Before Impact

Intimacy Before Impact Tiles

Paintings by Jim Connelly


“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7


Just as a jar of clay is carefully shaped and distinctively crafted, every person on Earth is unique, hand-formed by God the Father, and made in His image. God then fills us with His “all-surpassing power”—both for our good and for the benefit of others.

This inspiring collection of five vibrant images (composed originally as oil paintings)—by acclaimed painter, Jim Connelly—illuminates this foundational truth using universal, Bible-based imagery.

These images can serve as a daily reminder of our Heavenly Father’s tender care for those whom He formed by hand into His image.


From the artist, Jim Connelly: “Painting to me is all about learning the medium and growing as a picture maker. It is about always reaching for a better understanding of the world visually and then using that knowledge as a tool to tell a story with paint to the glory of God.” See more of Jim’s work at www.jimconnellystudio.com.
