The Armor of God: Part 2

August 20, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Mark 4:39–40, Ephesians 6:11–17, Job 31:1, Matthew 5:43–44, Genesis 50:20

The armor of God is meant to be "worn" so that we may have the faith to withstand fear and discouragement. Put on the Word of God and choose to Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you!

The Adversary

August 6, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Romans 7:15, Ephesians 6:13, James 1:14–15, 2 Peter 1:5–8, 1 Peter 5:8

To win the fight, we must know our foe. Often times it's easy to see other people are our "opponent", but the truth is we have one enemy, and that is the devil. People are not the enemy, they're the point of the cross. God sent his only son to triumph over evil FOR the people of this earth. He will always be for us, and never against us.

The Armor of God: Part 1

August 13, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Proverbs 21:21, Ephesians 6:15, Ephesians 6:11, Ephesians 6:14, Genesis 3:2–4

Ephesians 6:11 - "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." God gave us "the armor of God", but it's up to us to put it to use. The armor of God is more than a metaphor; we must put the armor of God on (be in a relationship with Christ) daily. Start your day off the right way!

The Final Key to Victory

August 27, 2023 • Pastor Mike Towner • Romans 8:26, Matthew 6:9–12, Matthew 15:36, Ephesians 6:18–20, John 15:5

Prayer is essential to withstanding the enemy. Either we pray or we become prey. Not only that, but we need others to pray for us as well. When we, the sons and daughters of God pray without ceasing, the enemy has no hold on us!
