Self-Control

We've been examining the Fruit of the Spirit for the past few months, and finally we're heading into the last sermon. As we look at the Fruit that Remains, this week we take a long look at Temperance, which means self-control. Proverbs 25:28 says, ”A man without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken down walls". We all know that at the time this was written, cities were safe only because of the walls. The writer of Proverbs reminds us that the moment we lose self-control and self-discipline, we are a city without any kind of protection. This Sunday we will see how we can have this self-control.
