Christ-control

The sermon explores the pitfalls of unchecked indulgence, drawing from Ecclesiastes' account of King Solomon's pursuit of pleasure and ultimately finding it empty and futile. It argues that while enjoying life's good gifts is not inherently wrong, relying on willpower alone to restrain desires is insufficient, as our will often aligns with our fleshly appetites. Instead, the message emphasizes the necessity of Christ-control, where the Holy Spirit guides us towards contentment and redirects our desires, promising a future where true and lasting satisfaction is found in God's presence.
