    We are in a battle against spiritual forces and to not only defend ourselves but go on the offensive with the Gospel, we need to wear the full armour of God, not just one or two items, as if we do not need God for everything, but all six.

    Ephesians 6:10-18 SERMON – The armour of God In his Letter to the Christians living in Ephesus, At that time the most important city in Western Asia Minor, now Turkey, And at that time the headquarters or centre of the cult of the goodess Artemis, Sometimes called Diana, Paul, writing ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 29, 2026
     | 233 views

    Within this passage, Paul beautifully defends salvation by faith in Christ alone, apart from any works of man. Many seek to add to the gospel, but Paul argues biblically that salvation is based in personal faith in the finished work of Christ.

    Justified by Faith Galatians 2: 11-21 Our text today reveals Paul’s continued struggle with the legalistic Judaizers and their expectations regarding salvation. The Judaizers refused to accept salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. Unfortunately, their influence affected the early ministry of ...read more
