The Fruitful Life – Part 3- From Have-To to Want-To | Paul Dennison
Video Description:
Self-control isn’t just about willpower — it’s about Spirit-power. In Part 3 of our series The Fruitful Life, we explore how to move from a “have-to” approach to faith into a “want-to” desire for God. Drawing from 2 Peter 1:5–8 and Galatians 5, we’ll see how biblical self-control is not suppressing our desires by force, but being captivated by a greater desire — the love of Christ.
We’ll look at the science behind self-control, the difference between Stoic discipline and Spirit-led living, and how to apply practical, God-honouring steps in everyday life. You’ll discover how to let the Holy Spirit shape your heart so that temptation loses its grip — and how to fall more in love with Jesus so that His song is sweeter than anything else you hear.
Whether you’re struggling with your words, your habits, or your thoughts, this message will equip you with biblical truth and practical tools to live a fruitful, Spirit-led life.
