Join us for worship!

1/2/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Worship Leader: Mark Estes
Speaker: Rich Goswiller
Title: Our Need for Self-Control
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23

"But the fruit of the Spirit is live, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

#selfcontrol #spiritualfruit

Notes:

The fruit of the Spirit is produced by God the Holy Spirit, not by us as His people.

Branches (believers) have no ability to produce the fruit; they just bear the fruit that the vine (Jesus Christ) is producing through the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit doesn't just give us self-control with the snap of His fingers; He develops it in relation to other qualities, primarily the wisdom that comes from Him.

In the moment, at a crossroads--heavenly wisdom directs--self-control settles the matter.
