Self-Control

Fruit of the Spirit

November 3, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Daniel 1:1–9

Give

God wants His people to exercise disciplined self-restraint while trusting Him to handle the "big picture" of our circumstances. Self-control, then, is about the proper fulfilling of our desires and living submitted to God's perfect will.

Gentleness

October 27, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Matthew 11:28–30, Galatians 6:1–2

Gentleness is not a weakness. It is a kind and humble empathy that is neither easily provoked nor slow to forgive. Even more, it is a virtue and fruit of the Holy Spirit that God expects and enables Christians to possess and display.

Faithfulness

October 13, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • Proverbs 3:1–6, Colossians 4:7–9

God's faithfulness to you is unmatched. And because we are shown this incomparable faithfulness, He expects us to follow His example.

Goodness

October 6, 2019 • Bryan Dugger • James 1:17, Acts 10:38, 1 Timothy 6:17–19

The Holy Spirit empowers followers of Jesus Christ with the ability and desire to both be good and do good. If you are born-again, the power to make a difference by being a force for good is readily available and will not expire.
