Pastor Chris's sermon focused on the Christian spiritual journey, highlighting key aspects of the faith through the metaphor of the armor of a Roman soldier, as described in Ephesians 6. In the first part of the sermon, he emphasized the significance of the church calendar, noting the progression from Advent to other significant Christian events and seasons. He lamented the removal of certain hymns like "Onward Christian Soldiers" from hymn books, stressing the non-violent spiritual battle Christians engage in daily. Pastor Chris explained the importance of the full armor of God in withstanding the devil's schemes, detailing each piece of armor and its spiritual significance.

In the second part, he delved deeper into the components of the armor of God, comparing them to a Roman soldier's gear. He spoke about the shield of faith, which symbolizes strength in unity and the Christian community's collective faith. The helmet of salvation was highlighted as a protection against doubts about salvation, emphasizing the assurance and hope found in Christ. The sword of the Spirit, representing the Word of God, was described as an essential tool for offense in spiritual battles. Pastor Chris concluded with an emphasis on the power of prayer, not only as a routine but as a vital aspect of Christian life and spiritual warfare, encouraging the congregation to pray actively and fearlessly.

Throughout the sermon, Pastor Chris used scriptural references, personal anecdotes, and historical context to illustrate the importance of being spiritually prepared and grounded in faith, underlining the collective and individual roles of Christians in living out their faith victoriously.
