Self-control helps us grow in many areas of our lives. The bible says that a man without self-control is like a city without defenses, However, if we learn self-control, we will take responsibility, welcome accountability, and walk in integrity.

Being good means that we live lives of integrity. Nowhere is that more important than in the home. Kindness is simply the people of God recognizing the kindness Jesus has showed us and then reflecting that upon others. In this message, Pastor Dave deals with both of these important aspects of the fruit of the Spirit.

There's a very unusual story in the Bible about how God nearly killed Moses before he ever returned to Egypt to deliver the people of Israel from slavery. Why would God do that? What was going on in this story? It all came down to a question of integrity.

When Paul's ministry and motives were being attacked, the perfect defense was to point out the way he lived his life. The people of Thessalonica knew Paul's character and actions; therefore, they knew the accusations were not credible.
