Abiding in Self-Control
Self-control is not about simply having more willpower—it is about allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our thoughts, choices, and desires. This devotional explores how surrendering our lives to God leads to true freedom, spiritual maturity, and the ability to reflect Christ’s character in the way we respond, live, and love others. Through Jesus’ example, we are reminded that self-control is not a limitation, but a pathway to a life of purpose and peace.

Abiding in Faithfulness
Building on Sunday's message, "Abiding in Faithfulness," we invite you to continue reflecting on what it means to remain faithful to God in every season of life. Our church family gathered outdoors for Worship Beyond the Walls, so we were not able to livestream or record this week's service. We pray this devotional serves as a meaningful opportunity to revisit the heart of Sunday's message.
Rooted in 1 Corinthians 4:2 (ESV)—"Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful."—this week's devotional reminds us that God values faithfulness over recognition, perseverance over popularity, and obedience over achievement. As you read, reflect on how God is calling you to faithfully steward the responsibilities He has entrusted to you, trusting that every act of obedience, no matter how small, brings glory to Him.
