Fruits of The Spirit

Self-Control

Introduce myself

Talk about who I am what I do...

possibly tell story of doing film and pastoring and wanting to do more but have to be able to have the self-control to focus on what God wants me to do....

Galatians 5:22–24 ESV

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

College students want to do everything the one things they cant do all the time is REST

God asks us to rest, he wants us to rest

Mark 6:31–32 ESV

And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves.

talk about walls being built around cities

its two fold a person who has no walls is like a person without self-control

and a person who can step back from time to time and asses their life will build gaurds around the weak points so they may grow stronger

self-control in our life allows us to grow stronger as individuals better students, better friends, to be better sons, daughter, etc ultimatly self-control allows us to be better disciples for Christ

preach it

Possibly speak on story of martha and mary in regards to having self-control with our time

HOLY SPIRIT TAKE OVER....
