Also, Pastor Tony Llewellyn will be doing the final messagein our series on the Fruit of the Spirit, he’ll be speaking onSelf-control. Here’s some of what Tony will be sharing:“When Abraham Lincoln was running for the President, someoneasked him what his chances were. He replied, "I do not fearBreckinridge, for he is of the South, and the North will not supporthim; I do not much fear Douglas, for the South is against him.  Butthere is a man named Lincoln I see in the papers, of whom I am verymuch afraid.  If I am defeated, it will be by that man." Abe wasright!  There is no doubt that we are often our own worst enemies, andso often the difference between success and failure boils down to onevery important quality.  In this week's message, discover how yourlife can be dramatically impacted through the quality ofself-control.”
