Suit Up!: The Sword of the Spirit

Text: Ephesians 6:10-17

As we suit up with the armor of God, there is one final piece that is both defensive and offensive. We must grasp God’s Word, the Sword of the Spirit. As we do, we galvanize ourselves in not only the powerful greatness of God, but in His protective goodness that the gift of truth, God’s Word, brings. This allows us to stand strong in the midst of the battle girded in the full covering of the armor of God. As we take up and put on the armor, we know that it is in Christ Jesus we stand in victory.

Suit Up!: The Helmet of Salvation

Text: Ephesians 6:10-17

In this message we discover the fifth piece in the armor of God – the helmet of salvation. The ancient Roman helmet was meant to clearly identify the soldiers and protect them from the many weapons that came against them. In a similar way, salvation is a gift from God that both identifies our standing with Him and protects us from the many attacks of the enemy. However, we must not miss the fact that we all have a role to play in taking up this vital helmet. We invite you to listen today and consider what steps God would have you take as you seek to put on the full armor of God and stand firm against the enemy.

Suit Up!: The Shield of Faith

Text: Ephesians 6:10-16

In this message, we see the crucial role that the shield of faith plays in the life of the Christian. It is a vital tool that protects us and partners us with fellow Christian soldiers so that together we can stand firm in the Lord and quench the fiery darts of Satan. We invite you to listen to this message today to consider your responsibility in taking up the shield of faith.

Suit Up!: The Gospel Shoes

Text: Ephesians 6:10-15, 18-20

The sandals of the Roman soldiers played a strategic role in enabling them to withstand an enemy’s attack and empowering them to gain ground against their foes. In a similar way, through faith in Jesus Christ, God has provided us with an armor to enable us to withstand Satan’s attacks and to empower us to move forward in victory. In this message, we discover the vital role that the “Gospel Shoes” play in helping us stand firm in the battle and advance the Good News of Jesus. We invite you to listen closely and consider your role and responsibility with the Gospel of peace.
