The message of the gospel is one of having trust in someone

greater than ourselves. That someone, as we know, is our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ. We will encounter many trials

throughout our Christian walk. In order to overcome them it

will take self-control.

Self control is “restraint exercised over ones own impulses,

emotions or desires." As Christians we desire to do what is right in the eyes of the

Lord, but we are constantly struggling with sin.
