The Armor of God is a real thing that believers need to be aware of and use in their daily spiritual battle. God has given us specific tools to defend ourselves against the forces of darkness.

The church is like an army of people who serve others, just like Jesus did. We need to be aware of the devil's tricks and protect ourselves by relying on God's strength.
Hey guys! Today we're wrapping up our deep dive into the book of Ephesians. This book is all about how God's love is so huge, so real, and so powerful that it can totally change our lives.

There are a lot of nice things about Christianity, but they mean nothing if the good news of Jesus Christ is not true. The Christian life begins by finding out for yourself that the gospel is true.
Last summer Kathy and I took our son, Justin, to Washington, D.C. One of our stops was a tour of the FBI building. We saw the crime lab, the shooting practice range, pictures of the top ten most wanted criminals and all that. But all the time I was dying to ask if we could see Fox ...read more
Don't be surprised if life feels like a battle some days, or even a lot of days. We have a powerful enemy in the devil and his tricks can be dangerous.
This morning we begin a new part of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. You could call it the grand climax. I love Ephesians because of the picture that it gives of the church. The church, blessed by God, united, holy, and now, finally, in Ephesians 6:10-17, the church militant. Please stand for ...read more
Our modern culture is desperate to feel good about itself. But God has provided a true way to feel good about ourselves, to feel good because we are doing good, and to find God's forgiveness when our own efforts fall short.
We are continuing to look at what the Apostle Paul called the whole armor of God. In his letter to the Ephesian Church, chapter 6, he talked about our world as a battle field. And he wasn't picturing the kind of battle like that occurred when we began our attack on Iraq, where our forces ...read more
Merely sort of agreeing with Christian ideas won't carry you far when life gets difficult. The real strength comes when we are solidly connected with our God through a deep and living faith inour hearts.

And God has provided armament to be able to resist them, not only to resist, but to stand strong and firm and hold our ground. We start by putting on ...read more

The ultimate protection to carry us through the dangers of this world and the next is to experience God's salvation.
This morning we move to the 5th piece of armor that God has given us, his protection so that we don't have to be shaken and battered by our fallen world, so that we can stand strong. God wants us to be able to stand strong and firm, even in the difficult world in which we live. Today we move ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-17, Romans 3:23
If a Roman soldier went into battle and forgot to bring his sword, he would be in real trouble. We are equally foolish if we try to live in the battleground of our world without a solid grasp of God's word, the Bible.
This morning we will finish our look at Paul’s Letter to the Ephesian Church, with the last of the pieces of armor that make up the full armor of God. It is God’s desire for each one of us to be able to stand firm in this dangerous world, to be able to stand our ground, able to keep the faith, to ...read more
We are told to wear the WHOLE armor of god. Not just the piece we like. The first piece of armor is the "Belt of Truth." Note: all scripture is from the NASB95.
This is a command, not a suggestion. It is clear, we are to put on the full armor, not just select pieces of the armor, but the whole armor. This is where Christians get into trouble. We only want to do what is easy and do only what come natural. But the Word of God is clear. We are to put on ...read more
