Ten Minute Bible Talks Devotional Bible Study

"It's an uncomfortable fact for a lot of Christians that the Bible is so comfortable taking God to court." Protesting demonstrates what you stand for and what you stand against. We live in a fallen world, surrounded by wrongs and injustices, so it's easy to feel helpless and hopeless. But we're not completely helpless. https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) explains why you should protest as he reads through https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+18&version=NIV (2 Samuel 18). Discover how to protest from David when his world shatters as we continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22). In this episode, we discuss David's family.

God's forgiveness reconciles us with God, but it does not erase or eliminate the consequences for the sins that we committed There's always a consequence for your actions. Sometimes it's a good consequence, like a little smile turning someone's entire day around and causing a ripple effect. But sometimes it's a bad consequence that can ruin someone's life —and also cause a ripple effect. Sin isn't just a personal problem with personal consequences. Hear how the consequences of sin span across generations as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) covers https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+15&version=NIV (2 Samuel 15) to continue our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22). In this episode, we discuss the consequences of sin after David's affair with Bathsheba.

You know the sad thing? Dysfunction seems to be the norm in most families. I mean, most of us, when we were kids, we made vows: "Oh, I'm not going be like my parents. Oh, I'll do things differently" Dysfunctional families are everywhere. Everyone has some sort of family dysfunction. No one believes the cover images of perfect, smiling families. There's always something going on in the background, even if we can't see it and don't know what it is. What causes a dysfunctional family legacy? Where does it all start? And how do we function with the dysfunction? Find out from https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) as he digs into https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+13&version=NIV (2 Samuel 13) to continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).

"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. Learn how to make it right with God from Keith as we continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).

"Do you see the terrible problem that God, Himself, has to face? For Him to be good, for Him to be just, He has to destroy David." Now we get to the infamous story of David and Bathsheba. When David knowingly sins, he does the same thing Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden: he confronts God. When we sin, we're confronting God and His goodness. We're testing how His goodness reacts to our evil. We're challenging God to see how His goodness can overcome our evil without destroying us. Listen to https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) as he continues our https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22) series and exposes the consequence of confronting God with sin.

"It's a story that makes grace come alive. In this story, kindness means more than just being nice to someone" Christianity made kindness notorious for its lethal power. ("Kill 'em with kindness" came from Christ long before Selena made it a hit song.) But kindness should also be recognized for its redemptive power as well. God's grace elevates kindness from "just being nice" to becoming alive. In this episode, https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) explains how David's kindness in the Old Testament foreshadows God's grace in the New Testament. Hear how David exemplifies five tenants of God's grace as we continue our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).

"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.

"Can we be honest? Few things come more naturally to us than using God." We don't really use the word "reverence" anymore. It sounds so old and severe. But it's really just another word for "respect." Patrick continues our https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22) series with a time when the Israelites showed God great irreverence. One of them died, and David became angry. Find out what the worst irreverence was and what God did to set things right.

"It's ironic—to me, at least—that our currency in the United States says, 'In God We Trust.' We all know the truth" Why is faith important? It's fundamental to being a Christian, but do you know why? It's because Christianity is all about having a relationship with God, and you can't have a relationship without trust. Faith is trusting in God. You know it, but do you do it? Our money says, "In God We Trust," but do we? David didn't, and it eventually caused his kingdom to crumble. Discover what David trusted instead of God as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) continues our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).

"It's actually for that exact reason that God won't allow David to build His temple." Do you ever ask God why you're not allowed to have something? Do you ask why you're not allowed to do something? David asked God why he wasn't allowed to build the Temple, and the answer comes back to this chapter of https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+2&version=NIV (2 Samuel 2). David was asking the wrong question. Someone else asked the right one, and it wasn't answered for centuries later: when Jesus came. Find out what the right question is and how Christ answered it from https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) as we continue our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).
