Wall 9: Following the dedication of the newly built temple in Jerusalem, King Solomon receives an unexpected promise in the night — the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Wall 10: These two paintings depict two unexpected announcements: the conception and the birth of the Son of God.

Wall 11: The paintings on this wall depict true events from the life of Christ, each set against unexpected encounters in places around Birmingham and Alabama — English Village, the hills overlooking Samford University, and Caritas.

Wall 12: The paintings on this wall depict the parables and stories Jesus told, as recorded in the Gospels — stories whose endings, heroes, and truths so often defy expectation. Featured here are the lost sheep, the sower, the prodigal son, and the wedding feast, alongside Aslan of Narnia, a more recent telling of that same unexpected grace.

Wall 8: The disciples fall asleep as Jesus prays. He sweats drops of blood in the garden. A soldier's ear is severed, then healed. This wall traces a series of unexpected encounters in Christ's hour of agony and decision.

Wall 7: Christ, bearing the cross, meets his mother Mary along the way. Framed as an unexpected encounter, this painting sits within the sorrow of Jesus' final journey.

Wall 6: The thief crucified beside Jesus receives an unexpected gift: forgiveness and the promise of a new path. Miriam's crucifixion scene, rendered in bright color, holds together the sorrow of a life laid down and the hope of new beginning it offers to all.

Wall 5: Mary, mother of Jesus, cradles her son's body in grief. This depiction of the Pieta captures the sorrow of a mother's loss in the aftermath of the crucifixion.

Wall 1: Despite Christ's repeated words to them, his disciples and followers were caught entirely off guard by the empty tomb. Even those who walked with him on the road to Emmaus and shared a meal at his table did not recognize that it was the risen Christ before them.

Wall 2: Mary Magdalene keeps vigil at the tomb, mistaking the risen Lord for a gardener. Her unexpected encounter becomes one of the first revelations of the resurrection.

Wall 4: Christ knocking at the door. His return in the blink of an eye. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit in tongues of fire. Each painting on this wall captures an unexpected encounter with the Lord's power and promise.
