Stand Firm: Spiritual Warfare

Sunday we wrap up our study of the armor of God revealed in Ephesians 6. The armor is not something we put on every day, but a person we draw near to. As we draw near to God, the Spirit fills us, empowering us to stand firm in the gospel, to know the love of God in Christ Jesus, to put on the new man, and to speak boldly the grace of truth.

Additionally, the armor is not just for you, but the equipping within the community of faith. Our strength is in the Lord and in standing shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers. Paul doesn’t say, “you put on the armor,” but “y'all put on the armor.” While each of us is responsible to draw near to God, we are also, each responsible to help one another draw near to God. Our strength is found in our community not our individuality.

These are just some of the overarching lessons that we’ll consider. So join us Sunday as we receive the equipping grace of Jesus Christ.
