STRONGER in Self-Control (January 28, 2018) | Judah Thomas

Self-control is doing the right thing ________________ of how you feel in the moment. [Proverbs 13:18 CSB] Poverty and disgrace come to those who ignore discipline, but the one who accepts correction will be honored. A control ______________ tries to control others because they can’t _______________ themselves. [Proverbs 25:28] A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls. The first _______________ you need to win is victory over ________________. Self-control is controlling your ________________ rather than letting them control you. [Proverbs 4:13 GW] Cling to discipline. Do not relax your grip on it. Keep it because it is your life. Self control is ________________. A self-controlled person makes decisions in ___________. [1 Corinthians 9:24-27 HCSB] Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. [25] Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. However, they do it to receive a crown that will fade away, but we a crown that will never fade away. [26] Therefore I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air. [27] Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified. Before you can have self-control you need to have a ________________. I need to control my ________________ rather than allowing them to control me. [2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV] We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. A God-controlled life lives in ________________ to His Word.
