The Fruit of the Spirit: Gentleness, Self-Control

This week we are finishing up the fruit of the Spirit sermon series. We talk about gentleness and self-control. When we think of gentleness we think of softness or weakness but that isn’t the case. Gentleness can be powerful, it doesn’t indicate weakness. When we talk about self control most times we think about food, or our impulses but it also is self control over our behavior and emotions. We don’t have to accept every invitation we get to emotions. We also don’t have to accept every invitation we get to behave in a way we shouldn’t. We are called to be Christlike and that means we are called to be gentle and have self control.
