Redemption Church - Twin Cities
Speaker: Austin Miller
August 3, 2025 · 37 min
Summary
Self-control is the mechanism through which wisdom is exercised in life. Drawing from Proverbs, the sermon teaches that self-control protects against destructive desires, finds its source in God's grace rather than self-mastery, and ultimately enables sacrificial service to others—exemplified perfectly in Jesus Christ.
Highlights
All it takes is one area of your life to be out of control and the whole life has the potential to be ruined.
The motivation of self-control is not to get more done, but to get more of God.
Self-control is the awareness and the ability to choose the important thing over the urgent thing.
