Jesus of Nazareth , the son of Mary, unlike anyone else. existed before he was conceived and born. He existed from eternity. Although he was born a true human male of the tribe of Judah, descended from Abraham through Isaac and Jacob and from the line of David, he had a prior life  of Deity which continued unabated, but then he added to himself humanity. There are a number of Scripture verses that pull back the curtain and tell us the backstory.
Consider Genesis 1:1-3 with John 1:1-3, 14,18. Also Paul's letter to the church at Philippi, chapter 2:5-8, and the sermon letter of Hebrews chapter 10 quoting Psalm 40%-7. At Christmas we sometimes sing high biblical truth about Jesus Christ. Such is the hymn, "Of the Father's Love Begotten"  - something of the backstory and the new story of Christ's birth are included in it.

Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Christians rightly celebrate the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Mary, because it was in fulfillment of God's promise to send a Deliverer, a Redeemer. And he came!
This unique Son of God, the Word taking to himself human nature, offered himself as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. He died. He was buried in the cave. Three days later in that body he was raised to life. Forty days later he ascended into heaven. His departure was seen by his disciples.

Where exactly did he go? How did he get there? Why is he there? How long will he be there?

Paul details in Ephesians 6 the spiritual armor our Lord has provided for each of his disciples, his soldiers. The last grouping is found in Ephesians 6:16-18:                                    In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,  praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
This 3rd episode in a three-part series on our spiritual armor considers what a solider connects to his body at the time of a spiritual battle. We place the helmet on our head, take up the shield and grasp the sword and go forth to meet the enemy. Christ's solders remain alert for the bugle call or the sound of the enemy approaching.

Message  2 of a  3 part series on the Christian Armor listed by Paul in Ephesians 6. The armor can be seen as defensive weapons and defensive-offensive weapon. This message looks at the what the solider wears next to his body for protection from the enemy's assaults. . 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.  This are then followed by the weapons he takes up in times of actual combat.

What is the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness and the shoes of the gospel of peace?

This is the first episode of a 3 part consideration of the spiritual armor Paul list in Ephesians 6. Before one can understand and interpret the various pieces of armor he must consider the whole suit on the Christian. A couple of verse in Paul's other writings can help as well as consideration of the context in Ephesians in which the armor is discussed. Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

The Reformations of the 16th century was no less than the rebirth and resurrection of the church of Jesus Christ from false doctrine that laid an impossible burden on people and robbed christ of his glory as the all sufficent Savior of sinners through personal faith in him.  The recovery of key doctrine is expressed in later adopted mottos of the five solas- Scripture alone, Grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone for the glory of God alone.

Major conflict among nations especially if it involves Israel usually leads to many people feeling the end of the world is at hand. However, a careful read of Jesus words in Luke 21, Mark 13 and Matthew 24 reveals that Jesus said, this is the beginning of birth pangs and the end is not yet. He went on to say no one knows or can know the time of his return in power and glory.
Let's assume that the end is near. How then should we prepare?  Jesus, Peter, Paul and the author of Hebrews all speak to this question.

The Protestant Reformation recovered a number of fundamental truths. These are expressed in the five solas. At the foundation of the recovery of the gospel was the recover of God's Word to the people in translations based on the Greek and Hebrew, read and preached. All doctrine taught must be based on the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. This podcast looks at four statements of the Reformers and one from today. God's Word of the Holy Bible as the supreme and sufficent authority was recovered. We must guard this truth in all generations.

What was recovered at the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. The short but accurate answer is, The Gospel! Now the gospel is the announcement of the person of Jesus Christ and what he accomplished for us people and our salvation.
It is the good news of salvation from sin and its consequences to eternal life in felowship with the holy God through the actions of Jesus-  lI delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died mfor our sins nin accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised oon the third day pin accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me....He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

The recovery of the gospel is summed up in the slogan- Christ Alone
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men[a] by which we must be saved.”
John 14:6  “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
