STAND Series
Ephesians 6
In a world that is constantly shifting and shaking, the Apostle Paul calls all believers to stand firm, not in their own strength, but in the power of God.
Based on Ephesians 6, our new series will explore what it means to take a stand in Faith, Truth, Righteousness, and Readiness. As we study the Armor of God, we’ll see that we are equipped not merely to survive spiritual battles, but to remain strong and unshaken in the midst of them.
When the enemy comes, we don’t retreat. By standing and fighting in the strength of the Lord, we can experience true Victory in Jesus!
It is our prayer that through the STAND series, each of us will grow in confidence, be empowered in faith, and deepen our devotion and relationship with God.

We were never meant to fight life’s battles in our own strength. So God invites us to stand in His power, not in ours. However, true strength begins with totals surrender: not the “giving up” kind, but the “giving over” control to the One who fights for you. When we stop striving in our own strength and start depending on God, we find the strength to stand firm no matter what we may face or what comes against us. So come join us this week as we look at Ephesians 6:10-13 and learn together what it means to Stand in the strength that only God can provide!

Truth and Righteousness are not optional accessories for the Christian life. They are core defenses that guard our Identity, Integrity, and Direction in our journey with Jesus. When the enemy attacks, he goes straight for the heart and the mind, so we must be grounded in the “Truth of God’s Word” and covered in the “Righteousness of Christ”. Standing firm means living in honesty, wholeness, and holiness, not just knowing what’s right, but walking in it daily. So we look forward to opening up the Word of God together with you, as we look at the meaning of Ephesians 6:14 .

God never called us to be passive bystanders in a Spiritual War. But on the other hand, He equips us to be prepared, alert, and armed with all that we need to be able to stand firm and to fight back. Therefore Faith, Salvation, and the Word of God aren’t abstract concepts or theological trophies. They are the weapons that we need for today’s battles… and when you live ready, you can stand confidently no matter what comes against you! So let’s look together at Ephesians 6:15-17 and see what God`s Word has to say to each of us this Sunday!

Standing firm is not a one-time moment of courage. It is a daily rhythm of prayerful dependence on God. Prayer is what keeps us alert, aligned, and spiritually alive in the midst of our battles in the life. If we truly want to endure in faith and help others do the same… we must be a people who fight not just with Armour of God, but also with Unceasing Prayer and Relentless Perseverance. So it is not surprising that the Apostle Paul does not end this passage in Ephesians 6 with a weapon in hand or a triumphant charge forward… but he ends it on his knees—with prayer (Ephesians 6:18-20) Why? Because all the armour in the world is powerless… without connection to the One who gives it strength - Jesus Christ Our Lord!
