Stop. Pray. Choose.
Self control is choosing to do what you should do, not what you want to do.
I want that bowl of ice cream but I should probably take a walk. I want to buy the newest game console but I should probably save a few dollars for a rainy day. I want to shade the truth to make myself look better but I'd better be honest.
None of us have mastered self control. But, we can all take steps to follow Jesus more closely when it comes to what we choose to do and not to do.
Throughout this Big Idea Series, which kicks off with Family Central Sunday, we're going to take at look at the biblical theme of self control. We will look through the lens of Joseph's story in the book of Genesis. We'll be following the outline of his story and making some big applications from his life to our own.
