"I think the trap we fall into is we try to pay God back, like 'I screwed up God, but I can make it right.'" How do you make it right with God? What can do you do to set things straight? When we mess up, it's instinctive to want to fix things. We made the mess, so we'll make it right again. That's what we do with our friends and family and coworkers. It's what we do with anyone any time we make a mistake. But God isn't anyone, and sin isn't just an accident.

"And now, in 2 Samuel 7, God is making a promise to David that sounds a lot like His promise to Abraham ... But then He goes a step further" The Bible is a book of God's promises. It's a book containing every genre: supernatural conflict between God and the devil; romance between Him and the church; history behind God's promises; and mystery of how He'll resolve all the issues, which we're still waiting for Him to reveal. Even though we know what happens in the end, we don't know how. The Bible is full of stories, but, whatever the genre, God's promises remain constant. And they guide the plot of each narrative. Listen to this episode as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) continues our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22) to show how God's promises are revealed through David.

"Three times [Jesus] goes and prays and asks God to take this cup of judgment away from Him. And yet, every time he prays, 'not my will but Your will be done in my life.' You can hear Mary, can't you?" When Mary submits to God and becomes the mother of Jesus, she surrenders her entire life to Him. She doesn't just suffer the pain of childbirth and a compromised engagement. Gossip and scandal follow her for the rest of her life. Her Son is her Savior, and He's not at all what she'd expected from a son or a savior. Learn what Mary really agrees to when she submits to God as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) continues going through https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1%3A28-38&version=NIV (Luke 1:28-38) for our series on Learning to Follow Jesus.

What do you think of when you hear “allegiance”? The Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag…)? Pledging your allegiance is dedicating your life to something.

"There's kind of a disconnect between the way we talk about how somebody begins a relationship with Jesus and how Jesus actually talked to people. We make it about this moment of asking people to be our Savior, but that's not the way Jesus talks." If someone asks you how to become a Christian, what do you say? Do you tell them to pray a prayer that accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior? It's a common answer, but https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) explain what's wrong with it in this episode as they introduce our new series: Learning to Follow Jesus.
