Welcome back Brilliant Family. We love that you are joining us today.

Happy September 1st. I'm Liesel Weber and on behalf of Team Brilliant we hope that this is a

0:12.6

place where you feel reminded of the fullness that is yours in Christ. We also want to invite you

0:20.0

0:26.5

Well we are in a new month and that means a new theme so for the month of September we're going

0:39.0

to be tapping into what we believe as a team is one of the most pivotal fruit of the spirit

0:45.2

and that is self-control. Now I don't know about you but I never used to see self-control as a

0:52.6

positive topic. Those are never fun servants right? It always has had this kind of negative

1:55.3

to become ours. I adore the breathing space that self-control gives me. It's the space to gather

2:04.3

myself to think, to rejoice, to refocus and to realign. I don't want to align myself with my

2:13.0

circumstances but with who God is for me. Self-control is like having the Holy Spirit come

2:20.6

up from behind, wrap his arms around you and gently say, be still. I remember a dream I had many

2:29.9

years ago where I was relentlessly chased by a horde of ork-like creatures. It's a huge army

2:40.0

that chased me for days and it was gaining ground and I was becoming exhausted.
