Ready for the Fight – Gear Up: Breastplate of Righteousness
According to the National Institute of Justice, body armor has saved the lives of more than 3,000 law enforcement officers in the last 30 years. Every officer I’ve ever known wore body armor on duty, no matter what. It was just good practice, especially not knowing what sort of situation they might find themselves in from call to call. The reality is, a bulletproof vest can only help you if you have it on. That’s why officers wear theirs all the time. You need to have all your defenses on to be prepared for the battle.
This modern piece of body armor compares well to the Breastplate of Rightousness Paul lists as a component of the Armor of God in Ephesians 6. As we look deeper into this righteousness, we will seek to answer 4 questions: 1) What is Righteousness? 2) How Do We Put it On? 3) How Do We Show It? and 4) How Do We Maintain It?
Arm yourself with righteousness – commit to obey God in everything.
Ephesians 6:14b

- Jan 25, 2026Ready for the Fight – Gear Up: Belt of Truth
Jan 25, 2026Ready for the Fight – Gear Up: Belt of TruthThere are things that are true all around us, and truth can certainly be found in many places. But, it is sad to realize how many in our day and age believe that moral truth is relative; that it is just whatever you choose to believe for yourself. For these people there is no absolute moral truth, there is nothing that is always right or wrong. Friends, that is simply untrue.As we continue our study on the Armor of God this morning, we come now to Paul’s description of what the armor consists of. He begins by focusing our attention on truth, but as we’ll find, it’s not just any truth, but very particular truth – absolute truth – God’s truth. After a quick review of what we've covered in this section so far, we will focus on 3 important facts: 1) The Belt of Truth is the Foundation of the Christian’s Armor; 2) We Need to Receive God’s Truth; and 3) We Need to Live Out God’s Truth.Arm yourself with God’s truth – learn it and live it.Ephesians 6:14aJan. 25, 2026To watch the video of this message, click here.
- Jan 18, 2026Ready for the Fight – Battle Plan
Jan 18, 2026Ready for the Fight – Battle PlanMilitary, law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency service workers of all stripes conduct regular, ongoing training to be ready for virtually any possible problem. They train so that they are prepared and each know their place in the overall scheme – their responsibilities, their areas of operation, what resources they have available, and more.Paul had a similar mindset almost 2,000 years ago as he wrote to Christians about the spiritual battle we’re in. He takes 10 verses at the end of the book of Ephesians to detail much about this conflict. As we come to the third aspect of our preparation this morning, we look at our Battle Plan. We’ve been advised of our enemy’s tactics. Now, we must know what our tactics are to be.In Ephesians 6:13, Paul offers us two things to understand about our spiritual battle plan. The first is a repeat of an admonition he shared previously, and it is that 1) The Christian Must be Armed. We must take up God's armor in order to be ready for the fight. From there Paul explains that 2) The Spiritual Battle Plan is Simple – Stand Firm!Christian, arm yourself, that you may be able to hold your God-given ground!Ephesians 6:13Jan. 18, 2026To watch the video of this message, click here.
- Jan 11, 2026Ready for the Fight – Reconnaissance
Jan 11, 2026Ready for the Fight – ReconnaissanceIt is critical in any battle to know who and what you’re fighting against. As Christians, we will find it difficult if not impossible to fight effectively in our spiritual battle if we can’t identify our adversary or his attacks.In Ephesians 6:12, Paul does a little reconnaissance for us to help prepare us for the fight. We will stand a much better chance in the battle if we know how our enemy fights – what are his tactics, what weapons does he use, who are his operatives, and how do they assault us?Paul reveals 2 primary things in this passage – first he tells us that 1) The Spiritual Battle is Up Close & Personal – that is the nature of our fight. Then, with the majority of the verse, he explains that 2) We Fight a Powerful Spiritual Enemy, But God is Stronger.We prepare ourselves for the battle by knowing our enemy and his tactics.Ephesians 6:12Jan. 11, 2026To watch the video of this message, click here.
- Jan 4, 2026Ready for the Fight – Basic Training
Jan 4, 2026Ready for the Fight – Basic TrainingOur days on this earth will sometimes be a battle. Beyond our daily struggles, we also face a spiritual battle for our eternal souls. Satan and his forces want to do everything they can to keep people from coming to faith in Christ and living for Him. This is a fight that takes place primarily on the spiritual plane, and honestly, it’s one we’re largely unaware of.In the final chapter of Ephesians, Paul talks about the spiritual battle we face daily, and our need to be ready for the fight. The beginning of the year is a great time for us to be reminded that we need to be ready for the fight. In Eph. 6:10-11, Paul gives us the substance of our Basic Training: 1) The Lord is the Source of Our Strength; and 2) The Christian Must be Armed.We need to be strong, alert, and ready to stand our ground in the fight we are in.Ephesians 6:10-11Jan. 4, 2026To watch the video of this message, click here.

Dec 28, 2025Do You See What I See?Series: ChristmasSometimes you have to know what you’re looking for to truly see what’s in front of you. I think this is especially the case with Jesus Christ. You have to know what you’re looking for to see Him for who He truly is.In our text this morning we meet one man who knew just what he was looking for, and he found it in the baby Jesus. To others, Jesus might have looked no different than any other baby, but to the trained eye, to the man who was waiting for God’s gift of a Messiah, He was a hidden treasure.Today, we’re going to look at another passage from the Christmas story, found in Luke 2:22-35. We’ll first consider: 1) What Others Saw, then we’ll look at 2) What Simeon Saw, finally, we’ll pause to ask 3) What We See.To see Jesus is to see salvation.Luke 2:22-35Dec. 28, 2025To watch the video of this message, click here.

Dec 21, 2025Looking Back at the Future Hope of the PastSeries: ChristmasThe Jews were looking forward to, and eagerly anticipating, the arrival of God’s promised Messiah for several hundred years before He was born. That’s a long time to wait for such a wonderful gift. With this message we look back to some of the promises made by God, through the prophet Isaiah, before finishing up in the New Testament. There we see this hope fulfilled, and we are reminded to keep looking forward with hope to the Lord's return.Our hope for the future is well founded on God’s faithfulness in the past – God is with us!Isaiah 7:14 + 9:6-7Dec. 21, 2025To watch the video of this message, click here.
