Standing in God's Strength Against the Devil's Schemes | Ephesians 6:10-13

This sermon explains the armor of God and what it means to stand against the devil's schemes in God's strength, not your own. Opening a short series on Ephesians 6, it shows that our real enemy is spiritual, not the people on the other side of our divisions, and that the devil's main weapon is deceit. The goal Paul gives is to stand, not to conquer, because Jesus has already won the ground. Being "strengthened" is different from trying to be strong: it is God's strength replacing ours, the same power that raised Christ from the dead. The sermon asks listeners to remain firm in the faith, avoid devastating sin, protect those behind them, love and pray for their opponents, and ask God daily for the strength they lack.
