In the third message of our four-part series on the armour of God, Rebecca Parkinson explores the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit in Ephesians 6:10–20.
As Christians, we are under spiritual attack, but we do not have to live in defeat. The helmet of salvation reminds us that we have been forgiven, that God protects our minds today, and that we have the future hope of salvation.
The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, equips us to stand against the lies of the enemy.God’s Word is alive, active and powerful. As we make it part of our everyday lives, it helps us recognise and resist the lies that come against us. Just as Jesus used Scripture when he was tempted, we too can use the truth of God’s Word to stand firm.
In this second message of our four-part series on the armour of God, we continue exploring Ephesians 6:10–20, focusing on the shoes of the gospel of peace.
What do these shoes mean for our Christian lives? This message explores two key themes: protection and proclamation. God equips us to stand firm against evil, while the gospel of peace prepares us to share the good news of Jesus with others.
Paul’s words remind us that we need both readiness and urgency. Our faith is not something to keep to ourselves. We are challenged to be ready to speak about how Jesus has transformed our lives and to share our testimony with family and friends.
In this message, Sue Chastney begins a four-part series on the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10–20, exploring the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness.
We live in a world where truth can be manipulated and trust can be broken. Sue challenges us to become people who seek truth and speak truth, grounding our lives in God’s Word.
The message also explores righteousness as a gift from God through faith in Jesus, rather than something we can earn ourselves. As we guard our hearts and prepare for spiritual battle, we can learn to stand firm with God’s help.
Whether you have been hurt by deception, struggle to know what is true, or feel under spiritual attack, this message offers encouragement to trust God and stand firm in him.
