You can listen to the entire sermon ahead of answering these questions, but going to www.efmc.org/media Questions for Further Reflection 1.     Read Ephesians 6:10-20.  What stands out to you as you read these texts?  Anything about these verses that takes you by surprise?2.     Why do you think that we lean so much on our own strength rather than putting on the Lord's strength and living in His mighty power?3.     Why is it so difficult to grasp the concept of spiritual battles?  Does v. 12 mean that we shouldn't concern ourselves with physical realities or do you think that spiritual realities “control” the physical?4.     How do we defend ourselves against flaming arrows (discouragement and contentment)?5.     Paul says that we need to put on the full armor of God.  Why do you think that Paul is so emphatic about that?  Are there pieces that you connect with more than others?
