Word

• Is there an area of your life that you are very disciplined?
• How is a lack of self-control evident in our society?
• Read 2 Peter 1:3-9
• Why is self-control important on the journey of life and godliness? Why does it have the potential to be dangerous?
• Read 1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 2:3-6 and Galatians 5:22-23.  What do we learn about self-control from these verses?
• Read: 1 Peter 1:3-16, 1 Peter 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8.  Peter encourages us to be sober, self-controlled and alert because of an awareness of timing, the working of the enemy and considering the great reality of our salvation.  Why is self-control important in each of those situations?
• In what are of your spiritual life do you need to develop self-control?
