SELF-CONTROL - Fruit of the Spirit

NewSong Church

This Sunday, we’ll explore the final fruit of the Spirit listed by Paul—one that seems to hold everything else together: Self-Control. How often do we find ourselves wrestling with self-control? Whether it’s resisting that extra screen time, holding back on indulgences, or simply getting up in the morning with purpose, self-control touches nearly every part of our lives. You are not alone in this tension. This is one area where the Theologians and the Psychologists agree; Self-Control is central to a healthy human life. Perhaps the key is in the phrase itself. Yes, "self." Come and taste, and see that the Lord is good and that neither despair nor white-knuckled desperation is the answer to gaining mastery of our impulsive lives.
