The Painted Door Church - Chicago
The Painted Door Church is church family that gathers in Chicago, IL. We are a people who share the same story; we are sinner, saved by grace. We draw our name from the Exodus account in the Hebrew Scriptures, when God spared his people from judgement, passing over all homes that had the blood of a spotless lamb painted across their doorways. Jesus is the new spotless lamb, his death on a Roman cross sparing the people of God from judgment once for all. He reconnects us to our Maker and to each other and invites us to participate in his grand work of restoring all things.

The Parables: The Parable of the Sower / Matthew 13:1-9
•
Pastor Kirk McKelvey
Like a man scattering seeds in every direction, God the Father sows the death of his son into every crevice of humanity. In this parable, it is the way humanity responds that is highlighted. And the less we interfere, the more fully will that death yield its new life in us.
