Fruit of the Spirit – Self-Control

This morning Pastor David wraps up our summer teaching series on the Fruit of the Spirit with self-control. What is self-control and can we really have it? Yes we can! It is the controlling power of our will under the operation of the Spirit of God.

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26

Discussion Topics:

1. In your own words describe what self-control is and why it is an important Fruit of the Spirit to have in our lives.
2. Read Deuteronomy 30:19-20 and discuss how God allows us to choose between death and life. Also, if you choose death how does it affect the following three areas: your love for God, your ability to listen to God’s voice, and how you hold tight to God?
3. Cultivating steps #2 and #3 were, “What is one area of my Spiritual/Natural life that I lack self-control?” If you would be so bold, would you be willing to share these areas with your group?
