Sermon was Stand Firm

Are we weary with the world around us? Wars, rumors of wars, violence

Evil plays a MAJOR role in this life – on this planet.

Confronting evil gets tiring. Not what we want to do in life

Spread of Evil – 1 John 2:16   For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

Proverbs 27:20  Death and Destruction^[a] are never satisfied,
    and neither are human eyes.

Matt 10:22 ²² You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Matt 24:13 ¹³ but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

1 Cor. 16:13-14      (1) Be on your guard; (2) stand firm in the faith; (3) be courageous; (4) be strong.  (5) Do everything in love.


Eph 6:10-20 Amour of God  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Please pray for the sick as Jesus really heals!!

Please pray for Pastor John & his family in Pakistan, they have been under a lot of Extreme threats!!
