The Message - God in the Darkness: "Self Control"

<b><i>Message Notes</i></b><br><br><i>Galatians 5:16-17</i><br>So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.<br><br><i>Galatians 5:19</i><br>The acts of the flesh are obvious<br><br><i>Galatians 5:22-23</i><br>But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.<br><br><i>Galatians 5:24-25</i><br>Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.<br><br><i>Titus 1:12</i><br>One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”<br><br><b>Self-Control</b><br><br><i>Titus 2:5 </i><br><b>so that</b> no one will malign the word of God.<br><br><i>Titus 2:8</i><br><b>so that</b> those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.<br><br><i>Titus 2:10</i><br><b>so that</b> in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.<br><br><i>Titus 2:11-12</i><br>For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.<br><br><i>Matthew 16:24</i><br>Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must <b>deny</b> themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”<br><br><i>Matthew 26:39</i><br>“My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet <b>not as I will, but as you will.”</b><br><br><b>NAME IT</b><br><br><b>TAME IT</b><br><br><i>1 Corinthians 9:27(ESV)</i><br>But I <b>discipline</b> my <b>body</b> and keep it under <b>control</b>, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.<br><br><i>Matthew 5:6</i><br>Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

The Lord's Prayer

<i>Elder</i><b><i>:</i></b><i> ...Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray,</i><br><br><b>All: </b>Trusting in Your mercy, through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord who taught us to pray; Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen

Apostles' Creed

All: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
