Our true address

If you wonder why this blog is called the Kings Way Chronicle, here is the answer.

The mailing address for King of Kings Lutheran Church is North Center Point Road, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The address was assigned to us by the postal authorities in 2011 when the church was constructed, even though we are located within the boundaries of the city of Robins, Iowa.

Here is another interesting twist.  To enter the church parking lot one must first turn onto Kings Way, a street named by Robins city officials. There is no entrance from North Center Point Road.

A housing development is in the works across the street.  So, at some unknown time in the future, our temporary North Center Point Road address will likely be replaced with a permanent Kings Way designation.

I could have named the blog the North Center Point Road Chronicle, but I felt it was better to anticipate what is already known to lie ahead. It's that simple.

This Sunday I am preaching on the Beatitudes as we study Matthew together.  They emphasize the happiness (blessedness) that is already ours today as members of Christ's kingdom in addition to the joy to come in the fulfillment of the kingdom of God when Christ returns in glory.

We have the joy of already living on Kings Way, even though our temporary address is North Center Point Road.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3

"For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."  2 Corinthians 5:1
