The world tries to sell us a version of the good life, but not surprisingly God's

word gives us an entirely different picture of what life should look like.

Welcome to the Radical with David Platt podcast, the latest sermons from teacher, author, and

pastor David Platt delivered weekly.

And as always, you can find today's sermon plus thousands of more free resources over at our website

radical.net. In the Old Testament the high point in the life of God's people occurs at the beginning of Solomon's reign at the

dedication of the temple.

In this message from First Kings chapters 2 through a, David Platt points to the highlights of this period in Israel's history and then

considers the implications for the lives of God's people today.

The secret to living the high life involves God's word, God's wisdom, and

God's worship. Here's David with a sermon titled The Secret to Living the High Life in First Kings chapters 2 through 8.

If you have a Bible and I hope you or somebody around you does that you can look on with

let me invite you to open with me to First Kings Chapter 2.

First Kings Chapter 2, as you're turning,

I want to welcome those of you in Montgomery County

and Prince William and Louden on Main Ave and different micro sites. and And as a church we honor those who have given their lives defending and promoting freedoms like we enjoy right now.

This freedom to worship we do not take for granted and we honor those all

across our church who are giving their lives and families in a sense on a day and

day out basis toward that end.

That actually leads in a sense right into what I want us to think about today in God's

word. So if you pull out the notes that hopefully you received in the back of the bulletin when you came in,

you'll see at the top the secret to living the high life.
