Self-Control -- What's It Good For?

Dear MRC Family,

Pentecost blessings to you, beloved of God, in this season of Ordinary Time

Our last fruit of the Spirit for our Summer Sermon Series is Self-Control. Self-control — probably not our favorite topic to talk about. I mean, why bother? What’s it good for? Our culture certainly doesn’t support practicing self-control. It’s all about get whatever you want as fast as you can by any means necessary. Deferred gratification? What’s that?

Come this Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost to worship as we find out where the spiritual practice of the fruit of self-control ultimately begins and ends. Tom will lead us in our hymns and sing the Prelude “This Is the Day” and the Anthem “Be Still and Know.” I am preaching from 2 Peter 1.5-9 and my sermon title is Self-Control: What’s It Good For?
