“Believe – Week 24 ( Self Control & Hope )”  2 for 1 Day

SELF CONTROL:

Key Question: How does God free me from addictions and sinful habits? The Key Idea: I have the power, through Christ, to control myself. The Key Verse: For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. – Titus 2:11-13

Self-control is the steady capacity to direct yourself to accomplish what you have chosen or decided to do and be, even though you “don’t feel like it.

 

HOPE:

Key Question: How do I deal with the hardshipsand struggles of life?

Ket Idea: I can cope with the harships of life because of the hope I have in JesusChrist.

Key Scripture: We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.

We “hope” for a lot of things. And when we do we use it with a tinge of uncertainty. We aren’t usually sure whether our hopes will ever be realized. What is it you are hoping for?
