Could you imagine a soldier going into battle with all the other pieces of the armor except for their helmet? Yet that's exactly what many professing Christians try to do. Jesus said there will be many on judgment day who thought they had salvation but are lost. To know what it means to take up the helmet of salvation is of eternal importance.

Satan is constantly attacking us with his "fiery darts." How are we to defend against His attacks? What does it mean to "take up the shield of faith?" In this sermon, we will find out how faith is our shield and the piece of armor we cannot neglect.

What does it mean to put on the breastplate of righteousness? What are the fatal attacks that Satan tries to make on us? And if our righteousness comes from Christ, how are we supposed to put it on?

The first piece of armor that Paul mentions is the belt of Truth. What does it mean to fasten Truth around our waist and why does that matter? Satan is constantly trying to lead us astray with lies, how can we fight against that?

It seems that many people are falling away from faith in Christ and it's getting more and more difficult to "stand firm in the faith." What does God's Word tell us about how we are to stand firm in these evil days? What is the armor of God, how do we wear it, and how will it protect us from the attacks on our faith that are ever-increasing? In this series, we will be taking a deep dive into each piece of what has come to be known as "The Armor of God" in Ephesians 6. Our goal is to encourage one another to stand firm with all His strength.

One of our elders - Rob Loy preaches from Matthew 16:24 as we learn what it means to take up our cross and follow Jesus.

In our final sermon in the Trinity series, we will dive into the Person of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps out of all three Persons of our Triune God, the Holy Spirit is the least understood and the One that we are the most divided on. But Who is the Holy Spirit and what does He do? We take a look at John 16:7-15 to get a better understanding of the Third Person of the Trinity.

Have you ever wondered what a conversation from within the Trinity would look like? Several times in Jesus' earthly ministry, we see Him praying to the Father. The longest and maybe most well known of those prayers is found in John 17. In the first 5 verses of that prayer, we learn so much about the second person of the Trinity. Let us behold the Person and work of the only begotten Son of the Father - Jesus Christ.

**Note: this sermon got cut off a few minutes early. We apologize for that and seek to resolve this issue next time. **

If you were to show up at a Christian prayer meeting, you would probably hear most of those praying begin by including the word "Father" in their address to God. Throughout the Old Testament, the Jews avoided addressing God as their Father directly, but then Jesus came along and showed us that we too can address God as Father. As we study the Bible we find that 'Father' is not just a title for God, but The Father is the first person of the Trinity. Who is the person of the Father, and what does it mean to know Him as such?

If you were to ask 20 followers of Jesus today to describe the Trinity, you would probably get 20 different answers. Some of them would probably even be a misrepresentation of God Himself. Many Christians don't see the importance of being able to understand how God is three in one - they are content just believing it. But if we are truly going to worship God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24), then we should study to know the God we worship more deeply. It's time for us to get a better, more biblical understanding of our God who is three in One.
