Self-control, you say? Maybe your first impulse isn’t to grab your calendar, but hear us out. You may remember that self-control is one of the fruits of the spirit, but it is easily forgotten, often overlooked, accidentally misplaced. It’s the forgotten fruit of the Spirit; it’s not nearly as popular as love, joy, peace, patience, and the rest. And yet, of the fruits of the Spirit, it is in the New Testament one of the most often mentioned means that God uses to grow us in godliness. If we’re honest with ourselves, every one of us would admit that there is at least one area of life where we need to grow in self-control. So, during the month of October, we want to recover this lost tool of godliness; we will have something for everyone: self-control and the tongue, the appetites, the mind, and the eyes. Learning to walk in Spirit-empowered self-control is one of the most practical ways we can put off our old self and become more like Jesus Christ. We hope you’ll join us Sundays in October at 9:15!
