The Armor of God - NorthPark Community Church

Pt.5- Helmet of Salvation & the Sprit's Sword (the Word of God)

November 3, 2024 • Pastor Robert Cavin • Ephesians 6:17

God hasn't left us defenseless in the spiritual battle. He’s already won the war through Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection! He’s given us protection for our minds through present salvation. He’s equipped us with the Spirit-empowered weapon of Scripture.

Pt.4- Take up the Shield of Faith

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Robert Cavin • Ephesians 6:16

By deeply understanding the historical context of the Roman shield, embracing the profound meaning of faith in the New Testament, recognizing how faith functions as our shield, and practically taking it up daily, we can stand firm against all the strategies of the evil one.

Pt.3- Readiness from the Gospel

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Robert Cavin • Ephesians 6:15

The gospel is not merely an entry point into the Christian faith but the very foundation upon which we build our lives. The gospel equips you to stand firm in all areas of life. The gospel empowers you and transforms you from the inside out. As you stand firm with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, you are not fighting for victory but fighting from a place in which victory has already been won!

Pt.2- Put on Truth & Righteousness

October 13, 2024 • Pastor Robert Cavin • Ephesians 6:13–14

Christ defeated the spiritual forces of evil in his resurrection. God equips Christians to stand against those powers with the armor He provides. So, put it on! Have you received the Truth in the gospel of Christ? Are you living truthfully? Have you received the Righteousness of Christ? Are you seeking to live by God’s Word?

Pt.1- Who Do You Fight

October 6, 2024 • Pastor Robert Cavin • Ephesians 6:10–13

This morning, we’ll explore the reality of the spiritual realm, identify our adversaries, and understand their wicked intentions and deceptive strategies. The struggle is real, but so is our God. Let us not be ignorant of the spiritual realities that surround us but let us also take heart that we serve a victorious Savior, and in his power, we can “stand against the devil’s schemes”!
