Equipped for Spiritual Battle

Nov 9, 2025    Pastor Joe Dickinson

This sermon emphasizes that Christians are engaged in a spiritual war against powerful, wicked, and cunning unseen enemies. Believers must not rely on their own strength but on Christ, who provides spiritual power and protection. Just as soldiers use the right weapons for physical battles, Christians must use spiritual weaponry—truth, righteousness, the gospel, salvation, faith, and prayer—to stand firm. Awareness of the enemy, reliance on Christ through prayer and obedience, and daily use of God’s spiritual armor are essential for victory. The sermon calls both believers to strengthen their defense through Christ and unbelievers to receive Him for salvation, protection, and ultimate victory over spiritual darkness.
