Born To Win - Dr. Courtney McBath

June 28, 2026 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!

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.

Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding."          -‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬ "Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses." - Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Scripture Text: Matthew 16:22-23. "Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!" Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."" Movements start with movement... 1. Peter gets revelation, but still lacks maturity. (Peter Gets It) Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." -Matthew 16:16 1. Jesus corrects Peter's thinking. (Peter Missed It)  Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."" Matthew 16:23 1. Peter wants Jesus without the cross. "Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." ‭‭ CONCLUSION: If we want to move higher with Jesus, we must learn to recieve correction. --Matthew 17:1 ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

(Zacheriah 4:10) “As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.” ‭‭ Quote: “When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship Movements start with movement... * Jesus meets Peter in ordinary work. * Jesus speaks authority into Peter’s life. * Peter leaves something behind to receive something higher. * The first step in being built is surrender.
