Understanding how secure your salvation is in Christ is critically important in the spiritual battle. If we’re not secure in our salvation, the enemy will deceive us in thinking we’re not saved. So rather than fighting the battle with the armor of God and in the strength of the Lord, we battle in our own strength and with our own man made devices which are no match for the enemy. The Helmet of Salvation reminds us that salvation is from the Lord and it’s not from ourselves. Salvation is God’s idea. He originates it. He initiates it. He sustains it and He preserves it.

The Battle
February 24, 2019 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali
Surrounding us is a spiritual war (angels vs. demons, good vs. evil, light vs. darkness). But amazingly, most believers live as if this conflict were not even happening, as if the “battle of the ages” (Eph 6:12) was just a fantasy or sci-fi story. Yet not one of us is immune to the consequences of spiritual warfare. Although this battle is fought mostly in the invisible realm, its effects are certainly visual in the physical realm. In this message, you will learn the ABC’s of the battle.
The Belt of Truth
March 3, 2019 • Pastor Larry Hasmatali
The Belt of Truth is the first piece of armor listed in Ephesians 6:10-14. It begins with the admonition from the Apostle Paul to “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his mighty power.” This is the key to understanding the armor of God. All the pieces of the armor belong to God and come from Him. Also, all are gifts to God’s people. All are designed to help us “stand against the schemes of the devil.” The Belt of Truth is the first listed because, without truth, we are lost and the schemes of the devil will surely overpower us.
