Sermon from September 28


The Armor of God, Part 2

Ephesians 6: 10 - 20

1. The day of evil may mean when temptation comes. We are tempted to turn from God, turn to sin, take matters into our own hands, lose faith, or abandon our hope.
2. Our next armor piece is shoes of readiness. Being a witness helps us win over temptation because it strengthens our faith and opens God’s power in our lives.
3. Faith is our shield. Hold it firm.
4. The helmet goes on our heads so that we know we are saved. 1 John 5:13
5. The only offensive weapon is the Word of God. Matthew 4: 1 - 10
6. Paul says to pray 5 times in this passage.

Sermon from September 21


The Armor of God

Ephesians 6: 10 - 20

1. We have an enemy. If we don’t believe it or just ignore it, that doesn’t change the fact.
2. The enemy is searching for weaknesses in our defense.
3. His plan is to knock us off our feet.
4. Our enemy is not a person, so our defense must be in the spiritual realm.
5. Satan’s first weapon is lying. We must know the truth and the only way to know it is faith in Christ and studying God’s Word.
6. When we act in an unrighteous way, we are vulnerable to attack.
