And we are talking about five things that we as pastors at Sun Valley want not from you, but for you.  Five things that if they were true of your life, would take your experience of God, your perspective on life and I believe, your satisfaction in life to a whole new level.

Last week Chad said that what we wish for you is that you would experience a &amp;quot;free fall&amp;quot; with God.  A time when God asks you to step out of your com .....]]></description>

And it&amp;#8217;s father&amp;#8217;s day weekend so today we thought we&amp;#8217;d look at the story of David&amp;#8217;s mighty men. If you have a Bible turn to 2 Samuel 22 where we&amp;#8217;ll find out passage.

We live in uncertain times and last week Chad reminded us that this book was written to people who lived in uncertain times.  Whether it was Moses leading people out of slavery, or David facing Goliath, Peter preaching to the crowds on Pentecost, all these people lived in times of uncertainty.

If you have a Bible, turn to the passage in 2 Kings 4:1 while I give you some background.

Genesis 1:26-27; 2:18-25

The Bible teaches that having created animals, birds, fish and the earth filled with vegetation, God desired to create that which bore His own image. God said that all of creation was &amp;#8220;good&amp;#8221;, but nothing yet bore His likeness. So God chose to create a special being with the unique capacity to be like Him. This creation would be able to reflect the glory of God, display the character of God, and have a special understanding of God, and even the capac .....]]></description>

     &amp;quot;As it was in the Days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.&amp;quot;(Luke 17:26)

     The theory of an imminent &amp;#8216;at any moment&amp;#8217; Second Coming of Christ will be discussed in the following paragraphs. First of all, the promise of the re-gathering of the people of God, the Jews, is found to be necessary before the Lord returns. As we all know the miraculous formulation and duration of the nation of Israel is fact and a clear Bible certainty. As early as the book of Deuteronomy in Moses&amp;#8217; final sermon to the people before he .....]]></description>

THE SUPERIORITY OF THE PROMISE 
	
    The aim of this section is to show the superiority of the way of grace over the way of law.  It begins by showing that the way of grace is older than the way of law.  God first establish a covenant relationship with Abraham. Since the Abrahamic covenant was ratified and in force, it was not superceded or set aside by the law which came much later. This covenant or promise is also superior to the law because it came directly to Abraha .....]]></description>

&amp;quot;Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

*Jesus Christ wants His followers to be overcomers. God&amp;#8217;s Word makes this clear in many places. For example Rom 12:21 tells Christians, &amp;#8220;Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. The original word there is nik-ah&amp;#8217;- o. It&amp;#8217;s where Nike got the name for their shoes. And this word that we translate &amp;#8220;overcome&amp;#8221; is found 28 times in the New Testament.

	This is considered by many scholars to be an extremely difficult parable. Some see the parable of the great feast or great banquet in Luke 14 as a parallel account. While there are several similarities such as the open invitation, I believe that these are two separate parables that were probably shaped by the gospel writers for their purposes while being informed by the other parable.

*This is a Psalm for troubled times. David is a mature man in these verses. And something has gone terribly wrong in his life. Charles Spurgeon and other Bible scholars theorize that it was the great rebellion of David&amp;#8217;s son Absalom. And that makes sense.

*In his younger years, Absalom was a great favorite of his father and of the people as well. He was handsome, .....]]></description>

One of the most profound things I learned in graduate school was taught to me by one of my professors.  He is now my Counselor Intern Supervisor, my mentor, and my good friend, Tom Moore.  It was really more of a question than a profound fact to puzzle over.  On an essay final exam, he asked, &amp;#8220;What do you hold sacred?&amp;#8221;  By &amp;#8220;hold sacred&amp;#8221; he meant &amp;#8220;what is it that means so much to you that you would die for it?

But the Kingdom of God does not exist in a vacuum it calls for people to operate in its reality and power. The Lord began by calling his disciples.
