Sermon Series: The Stand

Battle Ready

Ephesians 6:17a-18

In the final message of The Stand series, “Battle Ready” (Ephesians 6:17a–18), Pastor Ben Price reminds us that God has fully equipped His people for spiritual battle. The helmet of salvation protects our minds, the sword of the Spirit—God’s Word—is our offensive weapon, and persistent prayer keeps us connected to the One who gives us strength. As this series concludes, we are challenged not only to know the armor of God but to put it on daily and stand firm in Christ. Join us next week as we begin a new journey through the book of Galatians.

3 Key Points to Remember:

• Guard your mind with the hope of salvation. The helmet of salvation reminds us of our identity and confidence in Christ, protecting us against doubt and discouragement.
• Know and use God's Word. The sword of the Spirit is our offensive weapon, enabling us to confront lies with the truth of Scripture.
• Stay battle ready through prayer. Prayer is essential to the Christian life, keeping us dependent on God and alert in every spiritual battle.

Key Verse:
"Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." — Ephesians 6:17–18 (NIV)
