Sermon Title: The Straight Line to Success
BP:
Move the hearers to trust God.
Introduction:
Everyone
wants to know the keys to a successful life.
Millions of people believe if they won the Powerball and meg a millions
success would be theirs. Actually there is nothing wrong with wanting
success. Who doesn’t want to be a successful wife, husband, dad, mom,
worker, athlete, golfer, gardener, cook, whatever. No one wants to fail. Most people I know want to succeed – to be
great at something but how. Let’s look
at the life of peter for help…Jesus ask the question who do men say he
is? Peter gives the correct answer then gets the keys to the kingdom
authority….
Point
1: Mistakes reveal your
true motives. Vs. 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get
behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind
on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Move 2: Mistakes mature you. Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James,
and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
Move 3: Mistakes
aren’t final. Matthew 17:5 5 He
was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice
from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to him.”
