The gospel of peace is more than a comforting idea. It's the declaration that Jesus reigns as King, bringing wholeness to your relationship with God, quieting the conflicts within you, and restoring your connection with others. When doubt, shame, or division threaten to knock you off balance, this truth becomes your firm footing. Listen now and be inspired to preach the gospel to yourself daily and stand grounded in lasting peace.

We continue through Ephesians 6 and the Armor of God by looking at the breastplate of righteousness. Pastor J. unpacks how righteousness is not something we achieve on our own but a gift given through Jesus that reshapes both our identity and how we live. The gift of Christ's righteousness both humbles and empowers us. J. explores self-righteousness, spiritual warfare, forgiveness, and how pursuing Christ-centered righteousness protects believers from the enemy's schemes while fostering a humble, grace-filled community.

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) BEHOLD what manner of LOVE the Father HAS BESTOWED on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. I know this is crazy, but what if as we continue growing in His love for us, His commandments simply become part of who we are

Right standing before God is a gift freely given through Jesus. It is our protection against accusation and temptation. When we wear this righteousness daily, we stop striving and start standing firm. Listen now and be inspired to preach the gospel to yourself each morning.

Pastor Jim explores the “gospel of peace” from the armor of God and explains how peace in Christ gives believers firm footing to stand against the schemes of the enemy. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and the broader story of Scripture, he describes peace, or shalom, as wholeness, security, and restored relationship with God, others, and ourselves through Jesus, who “is our peace.” The sermon emphasizes that true peace is not found in circumstances, control, success, or approval from others, but in a secure identity rooted in the gospel. Jim encourages listeners to daily “put on” the peace of Christ by reminding themselves of gospel truths, trusting God's character, and becoming people who model reconciliation, stability, and hope in a world marked by division, anxiety, and conflict.

What is the armor of God? And where was Paul drawing this metaphor from anyway? We'll look at Isaiah 59 in order to draw deeper from Paul's reasoning behind Ephesians 6.

Sermon preached by Joshua Ashwill on May 17th, 2026 on Ephesians 6:10-18.

Here's where the majority of today's Christians struggle: we don't relate AUTHORITY with RESPONSIBILITY. In other words, when we fail to exercise our God-ordained authority, we basically limit God's predestined plan.

In this episode, we're diving into the Armor of God in Ephesians 6 and exploring how Paul used the image of a Roman soldier to teach us about spiritual warfare. Together, we break down each piece of armor and what it means for us as believers today, from truth and righteousness to faith and the Word of God. If you've been feeling spiritually weary or under attack, this episode will encourage and equip you to stand firm in Christ.Enjoyed This Episode or Have Feedback?

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. — Ephesians 6:11 Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against hostile spiritual powers. These powers are organized but unseen, a truly diabolical enemy. Led by Satan, these evil powers are always scheming against the Lord and his kingdom, trying to overthrow the rule of God in our lives and in this world.So what are our weapons in this warfare? They make up the armor of God, as Paul describes it in our text for today.  Put on the belt of truth. The beginning of evil is the acceptance of a lie. Followers of Christ who know and honor the truth are uniquely positioned to win against the deceitful spiritual powers of evil.Wear the breastplate of righteousness. Knowing and doing what is right is to live with integrity. It takes courage to do what is right, even when others may say it doesn't matter.Be quick to share the gospel of peace. The powers of evil have already been beaten through Jesus' finished work. This is good news that can help to convert enemies into allies.Carry the shield of faith. Faith is belief and trust in the living God and his promises, even though we cannot see him. Though it can seem that evil is winning, it has already lost to Christ, and in him we will win.Pray and follow God's Word. God hears all our prayers, and he delights in giving us the full life he promises in his Word, which is the sword of the Spirit. God's Word is the whole and final truth. Lord, we need your protection in the spiritual battles we face. Help us to put on the spiritual armor that you provide for us in Jesus. Amen.

For example, think about a mom's love, this side of Heaven I don't know that there's anything closer to representing THE LOVE OF GOD. So today as we honor moms, just maybe we let their example of love inspire us to lean in to our Heavenly Father's love. For God so loved you…

The belt of truth isn't just ancient armor imagery from Ephesians 6. It's the spiritual readiness to spot lies in a world full of competing voices. When we anchor our minds in God's Word, we gain the discernment to test every message against the light of Christ and stand firm in who we really are.

Pastor Jim explores the “belt of truth” from the armor of God and explains how truth is essential for standing firm against the lies and schemes of the enemy. He emphasizes that truth is not merely information to learn, but a person to know in Jesus Christ, who reveals both the character of God and humanity's true identity. Contrasting the “father of lies” with the “Father of lights,” the sermon highlights how deception about God and ourselves leads to brokenness, while the truth of the gospel brings life, forgiveness, and freedom. Pastor Jim encourages believers to remain rooted in Scripture, gospel community, prayer, and daily obedience so they can recognize lies, apply truth in everyday decisions, and confidently stand firm in Christ's victory.

Ephesians 6:10-12 teaches we need to be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God? Why? In order to stand against the schemes of the devil. Who exactly is the devil? And what are his schemes?

I am seeing believers attack motives of other believers faster than they search the Scriptures. I am seeing Christians tear down other Christians, not always over clear biblical error, but over assumptions, suspicions, reactions, emotion, party alignment, denominations. and whatever side of an issue they think somebody is on. I am seeing fear used like a tool, especially on social media. Fear to get attention, clicks, follows, shares. Fear to get people stirred up. And so much of it centers around words like antichrist, tribulation, mark of the beast, deception, conspiracy, this is the sign, here it is, it is happening now, look at this, look at that. And while I was praying about this, I felt the Lord speak something to my heart when I asked why is this happening among believers? Many Christians today are biblically illiterate and spiritually deaf.

In Ephesians 6:10–13, Pastor Jake urges listeners to be strong in the Lord, framing the Christian life as a spiritual battle. He describes believers as soldiers standing firm against spiritual forces that aim to pull them away from God. The strength required is God's, accessed by donning His armor. These attacks are often subtle—gradual drift, quiet temptation, or overwhelming circumstances that lead to doubt or to turning away from God. The schemes aim to separate us from Christ. The message ends with a call to perseverance, emphasizing that through Jesus' victory, believers have everything needed to stand firm. Relying on His strength and walking in His truth, righteousness, and peace helps us endure trials. The goal is endurance, so we remain in Christ when it's over.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's battles? Spiritual warfare is real. And we are active participants instead of spectators. The good news is we are not fighting alone or in our own strength. God equips us with everything we need to stand firm, and when we fall, his grace restores us. Listen now and be inspired to put on God's armor today and face your struggles with renewed confidence and power.

Let's start with this tonight: should spiritually alive people be different from spiritually dead people? Colossians 3:1-3 (NKJV) If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2, Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3, For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When we died with Christ, our lives were placed in Him. Us in Him, Him in us.

Romans 8:31-32 (NKJV) What then shall we say to these things? IF GOD IS FOR US, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up FOR US all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? MSG, With GOD ON OUR SIDE like this, how can we lose? IF GOD IS FOR US! We don't have to earn His approval. Don't forget the Lord commanded His love for us while we were still sinners.

Epistle to the Ephesians chapter 6 calls believers to live with strength, obedience, and spiritual awareness. It begins with guidance for families and relationships, then shifts to a powerful reminder that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. Paul urges believers to put on the full armor of God—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The chapter ends with a call to pray continually. This passage teaches that victory comes through standing firm in God's truth, righteousness, and power.

Let's remember, without faith it's impossible to please God. Remember Jesus words to Nicodemus, “unless one is born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM of God.” And there's only one way someone can be born again, and that is by faith. In other words, not only is it impossible to please God without faith, it's impossible to see God without faith. Remember what faith is: a conviction based on evidence. A formal declaration. Evidence of the unseen.

Romans 8:31-32 (NKJV) What then shall we say to these things? IF GOD IS FOR US, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up FOR US all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Here's the thing, the “IF” of If GOD IS FOR US, all hinges on us actually believing that what His words says is true.

When you get up in the morning, what clothes do you put on to address the day and all the attacks that Satan will throw at you? In this episode, our special guest, Chris, and I dig through what Paul challenged all believers to put on when standing up to Satan's attacks on you and your walk with Christ Jesus.

The sermon centers on the biblical concept of the 'loin girdle of truth' as the foundational piece of the full armor of God, emphasizing that truth is not merely doctrine but a living reality embodied in Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, and the church. It asserts that Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of truth, and putting on the armor of truth means literally clothing oneself in His person, providing protection, balance, and confidence in spiritual warfare. The Holy Spirit, identified as the 'Spirit of Truth,' is presented as the divine guide who leads believers into accurate understanding and guards against deception, illustrated through a personal testimony of discernment. The Word of God is affirmed as the infallible standard of truth, requiring biblical inerrancy and diligent study, while the local church is upheld as the visible pillar and foundation of truth, enduring persecution and preserving the faith across generations. The overall tone is pastoral and urgent, calling believers to a deeper reliance on Christ and the divine sources of truth for spiritual victory.

The sermon centers on the necessity of the full armor of God as a vital defense in the ongoing spiritual warfare against demonic forces, with particular emphasis on the belt of truth as the foundational element of this spiritual protection. It underscores the truth's role not only in safeguarding the believer but also in providing balance, confidence, and moral integrity in the Christian life, highlighting how Satan targets the vulnerable, especially through deception that distorts truth. The passage reveals that the truth is not merely intellectual knowledge but a living reality embodied in Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, and the Church—each a pillar of divine authenticity. The preacher calls for daily, intentional reliance on this truth, urging believers to put on the armor with deliberate faith and spiritual discipline, recognizing that spiritual victory begins with a firm foundation in divine truth.

What is the armor of God? Should it be seen as literal is the armor symbolic of something else?

John 3:3 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM of God.” And here's a key for the born-again, Jesus told us, It's been given to us to know the mysteries of the Kingdom, to be able to SEE THE KINGDOM Everything surrounding the Kingdom of God hinges on this revelation; 1st, You must be born-again 2nd, The born-again only live one way YOU MUST BELIEVE— “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Today we celebrate the resurrection of our King. Highlighting what God started from the beginning is unfolding just as He designed it to. His eternal, Heavenly plan is without question, UNSTOPPABLE The question every individual has to come to terms with is where do you fit in His plan.

John 3:3 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM of God.” In John 8, Jesus says this, “My Kingdom is not of this world.” Like we said last week, one of the biggest challenges the born-again face isn't so much the powers of the kingdom of darkness, It's our refusal to embrace the world we're born of, embracing a way of living that is beyond humanity.

v.37, God has made us to be more than conquerors IN HIM. (Hypernikao) super victorious, confidently overpowering in victory in Christ. Why would He do this? Because, whom He PREDESTINED, He also called; whom He CALLED, He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, He also GLORIFIED.
