Fruit of the Spirit - Self Control | Sunday Service 11/15/26

"Although lack of self-control has always plagued humanity, [we live in] an economic system [which] has been created that relies on it " -Skye Jethani.  

The world around us is constantly encouraging us to indulge our passions and desires rather than show restraint.  Self-control invites us to enjoy the many good things God has given in a way that is nourishing and good according to God’s design. And it is made possible as we fix our attention on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith.

As we abide in Christ and yield to His Spirit we are equipped and enabled to live freely within the boundaries God has set for our lives. As we bring to Jesus our passions and our desires, He perfectly meets us with His abundance and perfect ability to give us what will truly satisfy. There is no hangover from drinking Jesus’ living water and no regret from feasting on His abundant mercy. 

Prepare for this week’s teaching by reading Galatians 5:22-26, Romans 12:1-2, Philip 2:13, 2 Peter 1:3-7
