The Shield of Faith works when you pick it up. The shield of faith asks us, “Are you going to believe God’s promise? Or are you going to believe the circumstances and the reality that seems to be around you?” Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Living by faith is taking God at His Word and acting on it even when the desired outcome is not in sight.

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.
