Listen "The Armor of God and Our Daily Battles"
Episode Synopsis
Ephesians 6:10-24
Sermon Notes:Ephesians 6:10-24 “The Armor of God and Our Daily Battles”1. The Armor that God Supplies | 10-20 a. The enemy | 10-13 b. The armor | 13-17 c. The army | 17-20 2. The Daily Battles God’s People Face | 21-24 a. Itineraries and encouragement | 21-22 b. Incorruptible blessings | 23-24 Reflection questions:1) Do you think verses 10-20 are meant to be an encouragement to the weak and struggling, or a warning to those who are self-confident and self-assured? 2) While Paul uses many metaphors in this passage, what types of activities (or spiritual disciplines) are clearly encouraged or commanded? In which areas are you most consistent? In which areas could you improve? What’s one step you could take to improve in one of those areas? 3) Paul uses the word “stand” several times in this passage. (See verses 11, 13, 14, as well as “withstand” in verse 13.) Based on how often he uses that word, do you think spiritual perfection or everyday faithfulness is what he expects?
