How Do We/You Handle Success? | Sermon Only | Bishop Keith W. Reed Sr.

About this sermon

Luke 5:1–11 (NIV/NLT) Success is one of God's greatest tests of spiritual maturity. Using Peter's miraculous catch of fish in Luke 5, Bishop Keith W. Reed Sr. teaches that God is continually transforming believers from "Simon" into "Peter" by measuring our responses to life's defining moments. While previous messages focused on failure, disappointment, and obedience, this message emphasizes how we respond when God blesses us with extraordinary success. Peter did not become prideful when his nets overflowed. Instead, he shared the blessing with others, recognized that everything belonged to God, and humbled himself at Jesus' feet. Likewise, every blessing, talent, opportunity, and promotion we receive originates from God's gracious hand. Success is never meant to elevate our pride—it is intended to increase our humility, generosity, and dependence on Christ. Believers are blessed not simply to enjoy God's favor, but to become a blessing to others. When we understand that all we have belongs to God, success becomes another opportunity to worship rather than boast. True spiritual transformation is revealed not only by how we handle hardship, but by how we steward God's blessings with humility, obedience, and gratitude.
