WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS...
In case you haven’t heard, the KC Chiefs won the Superbowl!!! What a game…coming down to a final field goal for the “W.”
On Wednesday, it seemed like most of the city took off work and school and descended on downtown. Since the parade route was only a block from the New Life CityChurch building, we set up tables covered in red (thanks Gary), picked up some extra water, hot cocoa, and coffee, and streamed the coverage in the auditorium.
It was shoulder to shoulder up and down the parade route…and it seemed EVERYONE was wearing Red!

Can you imagine if you had not watched the news, and then flown into Kansas City from another country and decided to take an UBER downtown on Wednesday?
You would wonder what was going on….why are people yelling and whistling and cheering as buses drive by…. you might even ask, who are these guys walking inside the barriers slapping high-fives?
It would take a kind person to attempt to explain what is happening…if I was that kind person, I would try to find something comparable to the country of my new friend.
I might try to compare the Superbowl parade to a parade following a political victory or a large concert if that would relate to my new friend.
Similarly, Jesus spent much of His time teaching about the “Kingdom of God.” But how could someone understand it if they had no context for it?
This is why Jesus spoke in parables!!!
Jesus is a master of telling stories that are both simple and profound, short and packed with meaning, spiritual, and applicable to every part of our lives.
This Sunday, we begin an eight-week sermon series entitled, “Jesus the Story Teller.” We will start off by learning about the parable of the sower and the seed from Luke 8:1-15.
I hope to see you on Sunday at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am, or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.
