Self-Controll

Introduction

Try one of these Icebreakers

Group Discussion

What stood out to you from this weekends service? Any specific part hit home?

OPEN

  • What’s one everyday area where you know you need more self-control — snacks? Target runs? Late-night eating?

  • What’s a funny moment when you or someone you love were completely “out of control”? (Keep it light!)

Scripture

Read Galatians 5:22–23 (Self-Control)

• How did Pastor Chris define self-control?
• What part stood out to you about self-control meaning “mastering what tries to master you”?

The Cycle of Losing Self-Control

Pastor Chris talked about the cycle:
Try → Fail → Shame → Condemnation → Identity → Defensiveness → Losing Life.

Discuss:

  1. Which part of that cycle do you most easily fall into?

  2. What is the difference between conviction and condemnation?
    • Where do you tend to confuse them?

  3. Where might you be listening more to condemnation than the voice of the Holy Spirit?

Identity Matters

Pastor Chris said the enemy shifts from attacking our actions to attacking our identity.

  1. Have you ever caught yourself saying, “This is just who I am”?

  2. What identity lie do you think the enemy has tried to put on you?

  3. Read 1 Corinthians 6:11 — What does this verse speak to your identity?

Breaking the Cycle: REPENT / RETURN / REFRAME

REPENT – Agree With God

• What is one area God has been convicting you about?
• Is there anything you’ve been justifying or minimizing?

RETURN – Fall in Love With Jesus

• How does focusing on loving Jesus—not just “trying harder”—change your approach to self-control?
• What spiritual practices help you stir your affection for Jesus?

REFRAME – See Life as Worship

• What part of your daily life could become an act of worship if you reframed it?
(Eating, spending, bedtime, speaking to family, work attitude, etc.)
• How would that reframing affect your decisions?

Walking It Out

Pastor Chris said sermons inspire us, but Monday is where change starts.

  1. What is one practical step you can take tomorrow morning?

  2. What external support do you need?
    • Accountability
    • Crew
    • Filters
    • Schedule changes

  3. What internal step do you sense the Holy Spirit inviting you into?

Prayer

End by praying:
• For clarity between conviction and condemnation
• For identity to be rooted in Christ
• For strength and self-control through the Holy Spirit
• For courage to repent, return, and reframe this week
