Helmet of Salvation • July 23, 2017 • Pastor Phil Burggraff

As we continue looking at the pieces of spiritual armor that God has provided for us in our spiritual battle against the forces of evil, we will be taking a look at the helmet of salvation. The helmet protects from deadly strikes to the head. Paul calls us to take up the helmet of salvation and place it on our heads to protect us presently with the reality of who we are in Christ. We are delivered from the power of Satan and have the power of Christ available to us. Are we daily wearing the protection salvation brings?
