Title: BORN TO WIN

All Scriptures are the New Living Translation (NLT) version

1 Samuel 17:48 As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him.

1 Samuel 17:49 Reaching into his shepherd’s bag and taking out a stone, he hurled it
with his sling and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath
stumbled and fell face down on the ground.

1 Samuel 17:50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with only a sling and a stone, for
he had no sword.

1 Samuel 17:51 Then David ran over and pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath. David
used it to kill him and cut off his head.

GOD HAS BEEN PREPARING YOU

1 Samuel 16:6 When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely
this is the lord’s anointed!”

1 Samuel 16:7 But the lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I
have rejected him. The lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by
outward appearance, but the lord looks at the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:11 Then Samuel asked, “Are these all the sons you have?”“There is still the
youngest,” Jesse replied. “But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and
goats.”“Send for him at once,” Samuel said. “We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”

Hidden Places Produce Visible Results

Forgotten Does Not Mean Abandoned

Timing is Everything

GOD's PLAN MAKES SENSE LATER

1 Samuel 17:34 But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and
goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock,

1 Samuel 17:35 I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal
turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death.

1 Samuel 17:36 I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this pagan
Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God!

Never Underestimate Your History with God

Take Every Past Lesson into the Fight

GOD WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS

1. BE WHO YOU ARE
2. USE WEAPONS YOU'VE PERFECTED
3. MAKE A BOLD DECLARATION
4. TAKE A STEP OF FAITH

INTRODUCTION: Jesus never told the church to be clever enough, strong enough, or persuasive enough. He told us to wait for power, because the mission ahead would require more than human ability.

Movements start with movement:

• Pentecost turns weakness into boldness.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”

• God uses Peter to build the church.

“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.”

Series: Chiseled

Series Scripture: Ephesians 2:10

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Sermon: Chiseled by Failure

Scripture: Luke 22:54-62; John 21:15

“Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.” But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said. A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied. About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.”

‭‭Luke 22:54-62

“When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.””

‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

INTRODUCTION: Failure is not final.

Movements start with movement:

• Peter overestimates his strength.

Peter replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."

Luke 22:33

• Fear exposes what confidence cannot cover.

The seizing him (Jesus), they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance.

‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

CONCLUSION: Shame says, “You are finished.” Jesus says, “Come back, and let Me rebuild you.”
