Fighting Together

As humans we were designed to be in community. In the right community the best version of us comes alive. For us to have victory over Satan and fight this battle well, we will need to do this together. No soldier heads off in to battle alone, and no Christian should fight their spiritual battles […]

The Sword of the Spirit

Looking closely at the weapon of choice for the Roman soldier, Paul immediately declares that the Christian’s weapon is God’s Word. Its purpose is to kill the work of the Devil. His lies and deception designed to lure you away from Christ. Its power is found when believers are trained how to use it specifically […]

The helmet of the soldier was a beautiful piece of armor. It displayed the confidence the soldier should have in battle. Likewise, it was powerful and could withstand anything the enemy tried to do to destroy the solider’s head.

The enemy attacks in many different ways. One deadly way is with his flaming arrows. These come out of nowhere, unexpected, and cause serious harm to our position in Christ. We must have and use our shield of faith to be fully protected against these dangerous weapons. AM Sermon: Anthony Rex (Ephesians 6:10-16)

Righteousness is necessary for us to protect both our mind and our emotions. Unfortunately, our righteousness is not strong enough against the attack of Satan.

Truth is the underpinning of all spiritual progress and victory over Satan. If we prefer comfort over reality or affirmation over substance we will not survive this war.

AM Sermon: […]
