In the 1997 Stephen Speilberg film "Amistad" John Quincy Adams says, "In a courtroom, whoever has the best story wins." It's a great line (whether or not John Quincy Adams actually said it in real life). And, there is deep, resonating truth found in it. In our lives, the best story will win. The story that most captures our imaginations, and stirs our souls, will give direction to our lives. If the "American Dream" is our favorite story, then we'll likely direct our efforts towards bigger and better possessions, etc. In today's midweek teaching we explore the importance of understanding that the gospel, at its core, is a story - the best possible story.
