Sunday Morning Sermon — The Simplest Stories Are the Most Profound

One of the reasons I love stories are they take complex ideas and make them easy to understand.

I think that is why cartoons and children’s stories have been so powerful for so long. They take the complexities of life and communicate them in the way an eight year old can understand them.

Think about it. Some of the most powerful stories that have transcended generations are nothing more than stories meant for youth.

Aesop’s Fables.

The Chronicles of Narnia.

Dr. Seuss.

The list could go on and on.

I wonder if, as we grow up, we complicate life more than we need to. Some of the people who have had the most profound impact on my life have been the type of people who have made choices to see the world as a simple place. I think the same is probably true for you as well.

Today I am going to show you a short film from some talented guys in Kansas City. Without words, this video comments on the complexities of our lives.

It makes me wonder if we could live our lives with more simplicity.
