Group Discussion (in groups of four answer the following questions):
• How can we encourage employees who are practicing self-control?
• How can we come along beside those who potentially need improvement
(those who overreact, foster conflict, impede progress, anger easily)?
• What are some examples?

But when we think of control as it relates to the fruit of the spirit, we think of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and gentleness. But we often leave out self-control.
But in Proverbs 25:28, self control is described in this manner.
You want to have balance with the 12 fruit of the spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is the result of the Holy Spirit's presence and working in the lives of maturing believers and is itemized in Galatians 5:22-23.
