5 June 2016 - “The Fierce Fruit of Self-control”

Scriptures: Philippians 2:12–18 & Matthew 11:11–19
2nd Sun after Pentecost–“The Fierce Fruit of Self-control”​

Self-control & The Apostle Paul…Self-control is one of the most difficult of the Fruits of the Spirit to manifest in our lives. Rather than seeing it as the virtue that says: “I can’t, shouldn’t or ought not to do this or that”, we can see it as giving us power, strength and a fullness of our wholeness.  To do so we must see with eyes of faith; even in our blind passions, we are given light.

~ Rev. John Barbone, Pastor Emeritus
