Spiritual Armor Series Overview | Ephesians 6:10-16
Thanks for joining me in this preaching series, Spiritual Armor, which includes six sermons that will help you understand the one passage in the Bible you would be wise to know thoroughly, which will guarantee your spiritual victory regardless of the challenge!
The One Habit That Can Keep You Christian Strong in your Thinking | Ephesians 6:13-14
Did you know 80% of the 60,000–80,000 thoughts you think per day will be negative according to scientific studies, and most of them are lies? Imagine the impact of letting lies dominate your constant mental traffic. We live in a world full of distractions, doubts, and deception.
How to Develop Confidence in My Life | Ephesians 6:10-15
One slip in battle could mean a soldier’s life. In the same way, our “spiritual shoes” give us traction, grip, and stability when life feels like a fight.
The Wicked One and His Fiery Darts | Ephesians 6:16
In the spiritual war, there are far more casualties. Men and women who began well in the race of faith but did not finish.

Winning - how to stay on the offense | Ephesians 6:10-24
The sixth piece of armor is the sword of the Spirit. Unlike the shield or the helmet, it is an offensive weapon placed in your hands for spiritual warfare. Paul declares, “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17).
