We are excited to jump back into Season Two of our series on the life of David that we've called, It's Complicated. If you remember the premise, the idea is that though we often desperately want a black and white world where right and wrong are easily determined, and our answers are clear, the life we experience each day is much more complicated than we care to admit at times. Especially in the world of faith. So when we come to a character like David, it's “clear” to see that his life was complicated. In Season One we talked about David the Shepherd, the anointed, the warrior, the successor, and the man who came in-between the son and the father (Saul and Jonathan). Each of these stories were complicated, in that the Shepherd was also a man with blood on his hands, the anointed king didn't become king for years to come, the warrior was also said to be a man after God's own heart, and so on. In Season Two, our complicated journey continues as we talk about David the king, finally, as well as David the worshipper, the murderer, the adulterer, the parent, and the broken. Through David's life, we will see our own, with all of its ups and downs and twists and turns that cause us to celebrate one moment, and weep the next. However, with as complicated as life can be at times, we believe we have a God who meets us in all of our messy moments, and desires to help us learn, heal, grow, and ultimately become the best versions of ourselves. Looking forward to the journey with our Crosswalk community as we wrestle with the realities of life in the context of our faith, and our ever-present, ever-loving, and ever-gracious God.

Belonging is the first core value at Crosswalk. Everyone belongs at the feet of Jesus – right now and as we are – no exceptions. We are not damaged goods. We are God's beloved children that He left the heavens above to live, die, and rise again to proclaim our belonging to Him. This sacred place at the feet of Jesus is always inclusive. No one deserves to be at His feet based on anything we have done. We all belong at His feet because He created us to be with Him from the very beginning of time. It is the place of the purest and most perfect love—the place of highest human dignity as His beloved. In Season 1 of our Belonging series, we explored our belonging to God through Jesus' miracles of healing. In this season, Season 2, we will gain a further glimpse into our belonging through some of Jesus' other miracles, such as His feeding of the 5,000 and turning water into wine at a wedding celebration. No one ever has to defend their belonging to God. Jesus does that for us through His life and miracles.
