1. In this Sermon Series,
we will be exploring "the full armor of God" that is described in Ephesians 6, why each piece is needed, and
how to better live a victorious Christian life in a world full of darkness.

2. “This is what Jesus did for me.”

3. God stoops to the “guttermost” and saves
to the uttermost.

4. The sinful and broken state of Israel
Isaiah 59: 9-17
The sinful and broken state of Israel
is expressed in vivid detail…as well as God’s passionate desire for justice & how He rises up to save His people.

7. the importance of repentance as it leads to a saving relationship
Scripturally, we see
the importance of repentance as it leads to a saving relationship
with God.
Repentance means
a “change of mind”.
“We have the mind of Christ.” Corinth. 2:16

8. Although the helmet of salvation is essential… it is definitely not
the only part of
the “armor” that
we should focus on.
But, sadly, many stop here…and aren’t properly equipped
for life’s “battles.”

9. a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”
1 Thessalonians 5:8
“But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as
a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”

10. 2 Corinthians 10: 4-5 4 “The weapons we fight with are not
the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive
every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

11. 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 17 “For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory that
far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.”

12. In our daily “battles,” let us resolve
to not let Satan win the “mind games”
that he so often tries to play…
getting us to forget our identity in Christ or question our salvation in Him.
“No…in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him [Christ] who loved us.”
- Romans 8:37
