    This sermon explores the concept of self-control, a fruit of the Spirit. It provides a roadmap to gaining more self-control, starting with acknowledging our problems, leaving the past behind, mastering our emotions, believing in our capacity for change, avoiding temptation, and relying on Christ's power.

    This sermon is about self-control, which is one of the fruits of the Spirit. Self-control is important because many of our problems stem from a lack of it. We often wonder why we can't lose weight, keep our house clean, or break bad habits. The answer is that we lack self-control. Our biggest ...read more

    The world often values the big, the many, the rich, and the famous. However, this sermon explores the idea that less can be more, and that there is strength and importance in the small and few when God is involved. It challenges the belief that bigger is always better, and encourages finding value in simplicity and smallness.

    The world often promotes the idea that bigger is better and smaller is not good. The unbelievers believe that more is always better and less is not valuable. They believe that there is strength in numbers and that the few are unimportant. They prioritize the rich and famous over the poor and ...read more

    Change will always require stretching, but that’s where power to Breakfree from status quo is generated. No change that is positive and profitable comes by trying to hold steady when God is saying you should stir things up.

    It is time to break status quo! I don’t know what it means to you. But this is the Word so strong in my spirit for someone this season! You have dwelt so much in the arena of status quo. You have overstayed your welcome in the valley of coping and indecision. We never grow during status quo! It’s ...read more

    Last week, we talked about how worry and our desire to master control over our lives goes hand in hand. Worry impairs a Christian’s ability to walk in faith. It impedes our ability to move forward in our lives as Godly men and women. In fact, God never intended for us to be in full control. Yes, ...read more
