Yesterday morning I preached from Ephesians 6:10-20. The sermon was entitled "The Armor of God: The Original Under Armor." You can watch or listen to the sermon here later today.
In honor of Reformation Sunday, I made 9.5 Observations (instead of 95 theses!) from the text.
The observations were:
#1. The Context of Ephesians Warrants the Call to Fight.
#2. Prayer is the Closet Where the Armor is Put On.
#3. Successful Fighting Means Constantly Wearing.
#4. The Call Here is to be Standing Not to Just Stand.
#5. The Enemy is Much More Powerful than We Are.
#6. Paul Stresses the Whole Armor, Not Just Parts.
#7. The Order of the Armor is Intentional, Not Vital.
#8. The Pieces of the Armor are Intentional, Not Random.
#9.5. The Key to Enemy Endurance is Confidence in Gospel Truth and
Consumption of Gospel Implications.
#2. Prayer is the Closet Where the Armor is Put On.
#3. Successful Fighting Means Constantly Wearing.
#4. The Call Here is to be Standing Not to Just Stand.
#5. The Enemy is Much More Powerful than We Are.
#6. Paul Stresses the Whole Armor, Not Just Parts.
#7. The Order of the Armor is Intentional, Not Vital.
#8. The Pieces of the Armor are Intentional, Not Random.
#9.5. The Key to Enemy Endurance is Confidence in Gospel Truth and
Consumption of Gospel Implications.
Some questions to help your further understanding and application:
1. What were the three areas mentioned from the context of Ephesians that Satan loves to attack believers in?
2. Where is Satan currently attacking you the most?
3. Why are there no armor pieces mentioned for the back?
4. Why is the 'belt of truth' mentioned first and the 'sword of the Spirit' mentioned last?
5. What do you think Bro. Matt meant by prayer being the closet where the armor is put on?
6. Write out observation 9.5 in your own words and expound on what Bro. Matt meant by this.
7. Which observation ministered to you the most? Why?
8. Which area do you most need to focus on? Why?
