...guys tees...

Holy Spirit


This ornately decorated banner reading "Holy Spirit" with a large dove boldly spanning out across the front of this shirt shows how we should allow the Holy Spirit to fill our life. The scrolls and flowers bursting forth behind the banners further illustrate the glory of the Holy Spirit. Large back print has many scriptures that proclaim the beautiful work of the Holy Spirit in our lives!

victory over death

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:55-57. In Christ, we have power over death. The artwork shows Jesus on the cross as He takes on death! We have victory over death when we receive Jesus' forgiveness of our sins. He makes us not of this world, as shown by the NOTW logo below Him!

wise

Killer sketch with tons of hidden meaning! First, you notice a snake coiled around the NOTW logo. Upon closer inspection, you will notice a dove with his head down. The beak of the dove helps to form a heart from the body of the dove. Great illustration of being wise as a serpent with the heart of a dove!

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16 (NKJ)

den

The great story of deliverance and dedication! Daniel was thrown into a den of lions for simply loving the Lord! God showed His mercy and power by shutting the lion's mouths, as shown in the artwork with elegant crosses over their mouths and Daniels heart! In the same way God showed His mercy and power to us by dying on the cross for our sins and rising from the dead. We are delivered from mouth of eternal death in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Daniel 6:19-23

separate

Angels lined diagonally across this shirt hold the cross of Christ. They serve to show separation from one side of the shirt to the other. This represents how the good from the bad will be separated on judgement day. Scripture reads, " This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous." Matthew 13:49 Scripture at bottom (Romans 10:3-4) declares how we can be made righteous, and that is only through Christ!

thirst

The black branches symbolize the dry land that we live in without God, and the upward surging waves with pretty Koi fish leaping from the water illustrates how our soul longs to be with the Lord! He is the only one that can quench our thirst for eternal life! Scripture on back is from Psalm 63:1 - "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water."

why 3

The same great message in a third new style! A colorful shirt, with a spray-paint effect, reveals Jesus hanging on a tree. The question "Why?" is asked on the front. Why did Jesus die for us? On the back is the answer "Because He First Loved Us". The greatest love someone can show is to lay down their life for someone. Jesus did this on the cross! Hidden in the branches is Jesus name and a heart. Share God's love and the message of salvation!
