Battle ready!

Bringing an end to our series on Ephesians, Pastor Louis reminds us how the book of Ephesians is full of powerful gems of knowledge. This knowledge equips us to walk worthy, live worthy and live worthy. 

To be battle ready, we need to be strong, we need to stand up, and we need to stand against. 

In a continuation from the last 4 weeks Pastor Louis reminds us that when going into battle we need to put on the helmet of salvation and take up sword of the spirit (which is the word of God). When going into battle we need to declare God's word over our situation and circumstances. God's word is truth, it has authority and gives assurance. 

Pastor Louis continues with asking the question, "are you battle ready?" He reminds us of the importance of soaking in God's word, putting on our shoes of peace and picking up our shield of faith.

Are you battle ready? Because the battle is read for you! Pastor Louis reminds us that when fighting spiritual warfare our best weapon is prayer. However, we also need to be clothed in Christ, and to to this He has equipped us with spiritual armour.

Battle ready! Pastor Louis shares how we can be prepared for the battles we face. He reminds us, that when we are strong in the Lord no power can stand against us. And the reason being,... is because no power can stand against Him. 

Are you battle ready? because the battle is ready for you! 

Pastor Louis reminds us to be strong (and keep being strengthened) in the Lord and in His mighty power, so that we can take our stand against the Devil's schemes. 

Graeme encourages us to move forward, to step up and make a difference! Joshua may have had the same fears and insecurities that we wrestle with today, but God told Joshua to focus on Him and that he would always be by his side. Today, that encouragement is for us too. God will be with us and He will provide all we need. 

Nerrelie speaks from Ephesians 5:1-20. In this passage she shares how we are to live as; children of light, not dark. Wise, not unwise. Awake, not asleep.

HE IS ENOUGH

What are the things that stop spiritual growth? What does choosing Jesus look like? Pastor Louis explores what God would say to these questions and the importance of taking off the old self and being renewed to God's likeness.
