    We cannot go back to the old self, and no where is the distinction between the old self and the new self found than in the area of sexuality.

    Introduction We wrapped up two Sundays ago the first section of chapter 4 on the theme of church unity. We now move into the subject of what constitutes Christian moral behavior. Look with me at the text, Ephesians 4:17-19. Text Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer ...read more

    Self- Control

    When the Spirit has control of our thoughts and actions, then we'll be able to think before we act and have the willingness and strength to follow God's will for our lives. Self-control requires that we think before we act.

    Self- Control (Fruits of the Holy Spirit) Gal 5: 22 1. Psalm: 11 2. Judges 16:4-18 3. Genesis 39:11-18 Today we come to the ninth and final fruit of the Spirit – the fruit of self-control.

    Self Control Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,338 views

    The struggle for self-control goes on entirely inside an individual, but the results of self-control, or lack of it, show up entirely on the outside of a person.

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) It’s probably fitting that “self-control” is the last fruit of the Spirit in our nine week study. It may be the most ...read more

    Walking in Christ involves three activities - putting off the old self, having the mind renewed, and putting on the new self. What does this look like?

    Introduction How important is what you wear? The answers may range from “it makes no difference at all” to “you are what you wear.” Wherever you stand in the scale of opinion, what you wear does make a statement of what you think, at least about clothing. Our Scripture ...read more

    Relying On Self

     | 1,601 views

    Nowadays, it's all about instant gratification. It has become a reality. But advertisers weren't the first to use this strategy. From the beginning, Satan has used instant gratification in his bag of tricks to entice us.

    Were any of you tempted this past week? Sure, you were! If you watched any TV or listened to the radio you were more than likely tempted to purchase something. Advertisers often make self-indulgence a part of their marketing strategies. They say we'll be happier if we drive this vehicle, use ...read more

    The Idol Of Self Series

    Contributed by Greg Hanson on Apr 13, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,889 views

    God alone deserves the place of priority in our lives. And that means we can’t even put ourselves before Him. He has the place of priority. He comes first. This message talks about what it means to put God before ourselves.

    Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been going through our Canadian Idols series of messages. The first week we talked about what an idol is: it’s anything or anyone that takes the place of God in our lives. It’s whatever we place in that place of priority in our lives which pushes God aside. We ...read more

    A Deadly Virus

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2010
     | 6,967 views

    Sin is not excused by good works, and unrepentant self-indulgence is destructive. Sexual integrity is not just a private matter; how we handle it will determine what happens with our church.

    This has the potential for being the shortest sermon I’ve ever done. At first glance, it seems all I need to do with this text is to praise the church for doing so well, declare myself to be against sin, and wrap it up. The shortest sermon I’ve ever done, and maybe the shortest on record! Anybody ...read more
