PREPARE FOR WAR: THE HELMET OF SALVATION
Ephesians 6:10-17a
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you. A cunning, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters– your mind and emotions, your family, your future! But his reign stops right here, right now. With you. Spiritual Warfare & Tactics (SWAT) is a 6-part sermon series that will teach you God’s strategy to suit up, stand firm, and secure victory in your life. It’s time to fight back & put the enemy in his place for good!
Salvation is God rescuing his creation from the effects of sin and Satan. When we wear the helmet of salvation, we are wearing our new identities in Christ.
EPHESIANS 6:10-17a
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation
