Aren't Christians the No Fun Police?

Is there a gospel-centered way to watch the Super Bowl?\nYes. Yes, there is.\nWith some wings in one hand, some nachos in the other, and a big, fat smile on your face.\n\nIn this sermon, we address the common objection that Christianity is for grumpy curmudgeons who barely smile, frequently brood, and would even suck the life out of a Super Bowl party if you let them.\n\nThis common caricature is actually the exact opposite of reality. Through the gospel, God has secured for us a future that is marked by nuclear-powered happiness, and He literally commands us to live with that kind of joy right now: "Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do." Boom! Believing the gospel doesn't mean joining the No Fun Police - it means finally being able to enjoy this brief and broken life's pleasures rightly.
