In this episode, I unpack the full armor of God from Ephesians 6 and show how each piece can strengthen your leadership journey. You'll discover: How the belt of truth grounds your leadership in integrity Why the breastplate of righteousness protects your motives and credibility What it means to walk in the shoes of peace, even during conflict How to use the shield of faith to deflect doubt, criticism, and gossip Why the helmet of salvation is key to overcoming imposter syndrome How the sword of the Spirit equips you to lead with clarity and authority This is a daily practice that equips you to lead with confidence, wisdom, and grace. Whether you're walking into a tough meeting or leading through seasons of uncertainty, the armor of God will help you stand firm. Prayer prompts mentioned in the episode: 1. The Belt of Truth (Ephesians 6:14) “Lord, fasten me with Your truth today. Guard me from lies and half-truths. Let everything I say and do as a leader be rooted in Your Word.” 2. The Breastplate of Righteousness (Ephesians 6:14) “Lord, cover my heart with Your righteousness. Protect me from pride, fear, or compromise. Help me to lead with integrity even when no one is watching.” 3. Shoes of the Gospel of Peace (Ephesians 6:15) “Lord, fit my feet with Your peace. Help me walk into every situation as a peacemaker, not a peacekeeper. Let others sense Your presence through me.” 4. The Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:16) “Lord, strengthen my faith today. Help me to hold up the shield when doubts, gossip, or fear come my way. I trust in Your promises.” 5. The Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17) “Lord, protect my mind with the assurance of salvation. Guard me from discouragement and self-doubt. Fill my thoughts with Your truth.” 6. The Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) “Lord, equip me with Your Word as my sword.

The Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:16) || How To Fight In The Dark || Mike Kelsey

“In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:16 NLT) Keep in mind that as the apostle Paul was writing his letter to the Christians at Ephesus, he was chained to a Roman guard. He had plenty of time to observe Roman armor, including the shield. The Roman shield was made of wood—rectangular in shape and about four feet high and two feet wide. The shield was especially useful in long-range warfare. Prior to an actual hand-to-hand engagement with the enemy, a Roman soldier often would encounter a barrage of flaming arrows coming from all directions. The primary purpose of this barrage was to demoralize and confuse the soldier. To protect themselves from the onslaught of fiery arrows, Roman soldiers would put their shields together, creating a protective barrier for all of them. Their shields provided protection above and beyond what their breastplates could provide. The shield of faith provides similar protection in our spiritual battles. The devil will direct his flaming arrows toward Christians. They could be arrows of immorality, hatred, pride, envy, covetousness, doubt, worry, or any other kind of sin. They will be delivered primarily in the realm of our thoughts. He will barrage us with his flaming arrows at strategic times, like when we decide to read the Bible or go to church. Flaming arrows will come our way during times of trial and hardship. It’s during these times that you hold up the shield of faith—not the shield of feelings, not the shield of emotions, but the shield of faith. You base your faith on what God has done for you, not on how you feel at a given moment. Emotions come and go. Sometimes you feel great, and sometimes you don’t feel anything. It’s then that you learn to use the shield of faith. One way to use your shield is to remind yourself that every fiery arrow the devil launches can be extinguished. The apostle Paul wrote, “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure” (1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT). When you sense that you’re being fired upon, double down on your faith in God. Spend time in His Word. Ask Him to show you the way out of the line of fire. In Roman warfare, the shield was used most effectively in conjunction with fellow soldiers. By holding their shields together, they gave one another more protective coverage. The same principle applies to spiritual warfare. We may be able to protect ourselves alone, but we get more protective coverage when we unite with fellow believers. When we spend time with other believers, in worship and in fellowship, our unity gives us greater protection in our spiritual battles. Our fellow believers can pray for us, come alongside us, encourage us, and hold us accountable. Together, our shields of faith can withstand anything our enemy fires at us.

Sunday November 17, 2024 at the Hub City Church   1: FAITH | Ephesians 5:21-33   The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage   Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor   Sermon Notes:   "The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” — Tim Keller   The most critical contribution to a fulfilling marriage is to find ULTIMATE FULFILLMENT in your FAITH, NOT in your MARRIAGE.   How FAITH Functions in Good and Godly Marriages:   1. God DESIGNED marriage as the FUNDAMENTAL building block of human SOCIETY and a profound REFLECTION of the GOSPEL.   To acknowledge God as God and then seek to live as He has prescribed is an act of FAITH!   Matthew 19:4-6 // Genesis 2:24 // Ephesians 5:31-32   2. Marriage is a LIFELONG COVENANT relationship that will entail A LOT of SINNING and SUFFERING.   It requires FAITH to admit and endure this!   1 Peter 3:1-2, 7 // 1 Corinthians 13:7   3. The main PRACTICAL use of marriage is TEMPORARY: COMPANIONSHIP in a life of SANCTIFICATION and MISSION on our way to the marriage SUPPER of the LAMB.   Only FAITH can hear this and be filled with unshakable joy!   Matthew 22:30 // Revelation 19:6-9   The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.   Join us next Sunday at 10am. 837 W James Lee Blvd, Crestview, FL 32536.

July 7, 2024 - The Spiritual Battle and the Shield of Faith - Ephesians 6:10-20 - BJ Shelton by First Baptist Cullman

Christians are commanded to be unified in Christ, but how do we know who is a Christian to be unified with and who is a false believer to be evangelized or avoided (false teachers)? What about denominations? How do I know who is a faithful brother or sister? More than that, what do we need to do to build unity in the Church that Jesus has bought with His own blood? Sometimes it seems that those calling for unity are the ones pressing false doctrine, but if we are not careful, those with good doctrine will cut off faithful Christians who simply aren't mature in the faith enough to be grounded doctrinally. This sermon addresses all this and more from Ephesians 4:1-16.

Message from Jay Mosser on August 13, 2023

Dusty Frizzell shares 4 scenes from the story of "Once Upon a Time: Grace Through Faith" through one of the most significant New Testament scriptures regarding the intersection of grace and faith. This is part 6 of FAITH UNIVERSITYTEXT: Ephesians 2:1-10THURSDAY SERVICEDusty FrizzellAugust 10, 2023SYA Website SYA InstagramShepherd Church

We're in a summer series called, “Long Story Short: The Bible in 12 Statements.” The Bible's long story is a biography of Jesus. This morning, from Ephesians 2, we'll consider the problem Jesus' gospel addresses, the answer his gospel proclaims, and the response his gospel conditions.

He teaches my fingers to warGreetings from the church! Before we get started, allow me to tell you a humorous tale. A young boy and his mother were attending church, and the boy was starting to become restless. Keep quiet, God is watching, his mother hushed. I guess God is good at hide and seek because I can't find Him, the youngster stated as he narrowed his eyes and turned to his mother. kids, I assume?Psalm 144:1 is the text from which our verse for today is taken: "Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle." The poem depicts God as a celestial warrior who prepares His followers for spiritual combat.When we consider combat and fighting, physical confrontation frequently comes to mind. We are, however, involved in a different type of war—a spiritual one—in our relationship with God. According to Ephesians 6:12, this struggle is not against physical enemies but rather against spiritual powers of evil.Consider the David and Goliath tale. A shepherd child named David faced off against the seasoned warrior giant Goliath. It appeared to be a one-sided match on paper. But according to David, who made this declaration in 1 Samuel 17:47, "All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."David may have had fingers trained for a sling, but his heart had been educated for faith and reliance on God. His weapon was supernatural rather than natural. We all know how the tale ends: David triumphed!We come up against numerous Goliaths in life. Our worries, our doubts, our crimes, and our past might be scary, even though they aren't nine-foot-tall warriors. But keep in mind that God is preparing our hands for combat. He provides us with spiritual weapons, including the Word of God as the Sword of the Spirit, the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Shoes of the Gospel of Peace, the Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, and the Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:14–17).God is teaching us how to be skillful in spiritual combat, just as a musician must train their fingers to play an instrument or an artist must learn to make beautiful art.So let's allow God to prepare our hands for fight this week. Let's put on all of God's protection and resist the devil's tricks with steadfastness. Let's fight with divine strength rather than human tactics. Let's also face our giants with assurance, like David did, knowing that the Lord is in control of the conflict and has prepared us for triumph!May the Lord, our Rock, who trains our hands for fight and our fingers for conflict, give us courage. As we enter this new week, prepared and ready for the struggles that lie ahead, let's keep this message in our hearts. Godspeed to everyone!
