Self Control

Last week’s sermon on gentleness set the stage for the last sermon in this series on the Fruit of the Spirit: Self Control.  Here are the study questions for this week:

  • Read Galatians 5 and review your sermon notes.  Why is gentleness so important?
  • Read Matthew 11.  How does this chapter reflect both Jesus’ strength and his meekness?
  • Read Proverbs 15.  What do we learn about gentleness here?
  • Read Proverbs 16.  What are the problems with being a hot head?
  • Read Proverbs 25.  What does this teach about self control?
  • Read 2 Peter 1 (especially verses 5-7).  How do these points work together?  Why do you think self control is part of this list?
