Message - "Heart Of A Champion - Self Control" by Kurt
Key Points:
Within each of us is incredible potential for GOOD and for EVIL.
How we THINK affects how we feel, how we feel affects the way we BEHAVE.
Self control EXPANDS your future. Self indulgence LIMITS your future.
When you are in a tough situation, press PAUSE long enough to make the WISE CHOICE.

Message - "Heart Of A Champion - Gentleness" by Katie
Key Points:
Gentleness is not the same as WEAKNESS.
We all want to be treated with GENTLENESS, so we need to make sure we TREAT OTHERS the same way.
Knowing how to give and recieve CORRECTION is a requirement for having HAVING RELATIONSHIPS.
God sees GENTLENESS as a sure sign of STRENGTH.
When something is VALUABLE we treat it with extra care; How are we treating God's most valuable CREATION?
