We’re continuing our series on the armor of God — and this week, it’s all about the only offensive weapon in the lineup: the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pastor Bruce joins us to talk about how to actually use Scripture in spiritual battle.We’ll unpack Ephesians 6:17 and Psalm 19 to talk about how God’s Word forms us, defends us, and transforms our daily walk with Jesus.

Ephesians 6:17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,Psalm 19:7-147The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me!Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.__________________________________________Your Unseen Enemy ResourcesYour Story Has A Villain – Jonathan PokludaThe Battle Is The Lord’s – Tony EvansLive No Lies – John Mark ComerIf The Tomb is Empty – Joby MartinSpiritual Warfare Sermon Series – J.D.

Starting a gospel conversation doesn’t have to feel intimidating — it starts with caring enough to ask good questions. In this episode, Michelle Myers sits down with Clayton King to talk about how everyday conversations can open the door to eternal impact.

Ephesians 6:13, 17

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

Ephesians 6:10-1610 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;

When the Apostle Paul described spiritual armor, he didn’t just mention truth and righteousness — he included shoes. What do feet have to do with standing firm in a spiritual battle?

In this episode, Pastor Bruce unpacks the next piece of the armor of God and why having our “feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace” is more than just metaphorical. We’ll discuss what spiritual readiness really looks like, how Acts 1 helps us live on mission, and how ordinary believers can make an extraordinary impact.

Ephesians 6:15

15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.

Acts 1:1-81

In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 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. 4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

40 Questions About Angels, Demons, and Spiritual Warfare – John Gilhooly

We all face guilt and shame — but how do we stand firm in Christ when those voices hit hardest? In this episode, Pastor Bruce joins Michelle and Christian to explore the power of imputed righteousness and how the gospel meets us in our darkest moments.

We’ll talk about what Romans 3 really teaches us about being made right with God, how to recognize shame-based religion, and how to live out of the new identity Christ has given us.
