Stand and Fight: The Armor of God for Spiritual Warfare

Pastor Jared walks through Ephesians 6:10-17 in this powerful message about spiritual warfare and the armor of God. He challenges believers to understand their identity in Christ and prepare for the battles they face daily. The sermon covers each piece of God's armor - the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, sandals of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit - while emphasizing that Christians cannot fight alone but need the body of Christ.

Drawing from Paul's imagery of Roman soldiers, Pastor Jared explains how believers are not fighting to win a battle but are an occupying army in a war already won by Christ. He addresses the importance of unity in the church, the danger of division, and the need to direct our anger at the real enemy - not each other. The message includes practical advice about protecting our minds, knowing God's Word, and standing together as a community of faith.
