In this sermon, Pastor Paul discusses the importance of self-control as a vital ingredient for a strong faith, emphasizing that it is not a secret but rather clearly outlined in scriptures. He highlights how the lack of self-control leaves individuals spiritually vulnerable, as seen in the analogy of a city without walls, and encourages believers to practice self-control to avoid succumbing to temptations. The sermon also delves into the comparison between living according to the flesh versus walking in the Spirit, driving home the idea that true freedom and life are found in surrendering to Jesus and exercising self-discipline. Ultimately, Pastor Paul calls on us to actively practice self-control in various aspects of their lives as a reflection of their faith and commitment to God.
