The Battle

Ephesians 6:10-13

This week, we began a new sermon series: “The Armor of God,” looking at some of the offensive and defensive tools God has given us to overcome the challenges we face as we follow Jesus. Christian life can be hard to live out because you are in a battle. As you fight, it's imperative to know that your battle is not against flesh and blood - it's not against other people. Ultimately, the good news is, Christ has won the war.

Sword and Helmet

February 12, 2023 • Piko Neal • Ephesians 6:10–20

Helmet of Salvation is more than just identification, and the Sword of the Spirit more than just a weapon. These two pieces are two parts of a whole. The only way this armor works is by us realizing that every armor piece we put on is also put on by someone else in our faith. We are all on the same team; we do not stand alone.

Shield of Faith

February 5, 2023 • Sean Gasperetti • Ephesians 6:10–20

Faith is complete trust and confidence in something or someone that has proven faithful time and time again. That is why when you stand behind “the shield of faith,” you are literally standing behind the power of Jesus, our faithful God. Whatever battle you’re up against, if you’re a follower of Jesus, your protection AND ability to charge forward are possible through him.

The Shoes of Gospel Readiness

January 29, 2023 • Sean Gasperetti • Ephesians 6:10–20

You’re in a battle. Jesus has won the war, but we’re still dealing with the residual effects of sin and Satan’s work. At the end of the day, God wants you to stand. You can run with other pieces of armor on, claiming God has your back, but if you’re not rooted in the Gospel - the truth of Jesus Christ alone - you’re easy prey. So, how do we put on these shoes and stand firm in this spiritual battle?
