This week we are examining Ephesians 6:10-13. Note how many times Paul says for followers to stand/withstand/stand up to the enemy. We will look at the first piece of the full armor of God that must be present for us to stand faithfully against the enemy: the belt of TRUTH. We will focus on the need for all of Jesus's followers to believe in and obey God's objective truth in the world that he created.
Stand in Truth
May 7, 2023 • David Chadwick • Ephesians 6:10–13
Stand: The Weapon of Prayer
June 25, 2023 • David Chadwick • Ephesians 6:10–20
This Sunday we will complete our study of the full armor of God. It ends with the weapon of prayer (Ephesians 6:18-20). Prayer empowers all the other pieces of the armor. But in these last few verses, we will look at aspects of prayer that need to be exercised if we want complete victory over the enemy.
Stand: The Sword of the Spirit
June 18, 2023 • David Chadwick • Ephesians 6:10–17
This week, while looking at the armor of God, we will talk about taking up the sword of the Spirit which is God's Word. We will examine the importance of knowing what the powers and principalities of the evil one are trying to do to us individually, our families and our nation. We will look at the importance of God's Word in fighting the schemes of the enemy. It is the only offensive weapon in God's full armor that we are to take up.
Stand: The Helmet of Salvation
June 11, 2023 • David Chadwick • Ephesians 6:10–17
This week, we take up the helmet of salvation. The battlefield against the enemy is our mind. Our thought life. How we think. We will look thoroughly in the Scriptures about this idea. If you control your thoughts, you will control how you feel. If you control how you feel, you will control your behavior.
