Big Idea

Fruit of the Spirit (Self-Control) – Paul’s Letter About Self Control (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)

Big Point

Self-control means we have the ability to control our thoughts, actions and feelings.

Big Word

‘But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!’ (Galatians 5:22-23 NLT)

Parent Discussion

In our last week of our Fruit of the Spirit series we learned about Paul as an example of the attribute of the Fruit of the Spirit of self-control. Paul realised that it was important to exercise self-control if he was to be an effective servant of God. Sometimes, following Christ means giving up certain habits and freedoms that the world allows in order to be a better example of Christianity. One way we can show self-control is by stopping – to pray and ask God for help when we feel angry or tempted. Self-control is not easy, but by the grace and power of God in our lives, we are able to overcome temptation and carry out His plan for us. Take some time to go over these discussion questions with your child.

1. What is something that makes you angry?
2. What does it mean to have self-control?
3. Next time something upsets you, what can you do to practice self-control instead of getting angry?
