We conclude our "Take What You Need" series talking about how the joy of the Lord is our strength.  The sermon audio is available below.

Question for Reflection
How has the joy of the Lord been a strength in your life?  How could it be?

I welcome your comments.

The sermon audio is unavailable again this week.  We're working to make sure it is available in the future.  I've made my manuscript available below.

Question for Reflection
How can receiving God's peace help you not to worry about the circumstances of life?

I welcome your comments.

We continue our "Take What You Need" series, as we look at the area of self-control.  A fruit of the Holy Spirit working in your life is evidenced by being a person of self-control.  Titus chapter 2 can help us as we look at this very practical topic.

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.  It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age…" (Titus 2:11-12a, NIV)
​
We didn't get the sermon audio recorded, so I'm providing my manuscript below.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Question for Reflection
​Why do you think the Bible talks about this issue of self-control?  Why does it matter?

I welcome your comments.

We continue our series, "Take What You Need".  Today we explored what it means to live of life of faith.  Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
