In this week’s sermon, Pastor Sonny talks about why self-control is not only an important trait for Christians to have, but how we also need to have a better understanding of what self-control really is and where it comes from.
Proverbs 25:28
28 A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls.
1 Corinthians 9:24–27
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
Galatians 5:22–23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
