Ephesians 6:17  | Read in NIV YouVersion

This Sunday's message will focus on putting on the armor of God to be ready for battling whatever the enemy sends your way.

Pause for Reflection:
Reflect on these pieces of armor by studying these Scriptures for each.

Helmet of Salvation

• I 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."
• Romans 12:2-"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
• Romans 1:16- "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."

Sword of the Spirit

• Matthew 4:4-"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
• Psalm 119:11- "Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you."
• 2 Timothy 3:16- "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness..."
• Hebrews 4:12- "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
• 1 Peter 1:23- "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever."
• Isaiah 40:8- "The grass wither, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
• Psalm 119:105- "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path."
• John 17:17- "Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth."
