The Gift Of God

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 6, 2023

Self Control Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023

There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

Do you have everything under control? I mean everything within you – do you all of you in control? Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue?
