Show Notes:
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.” Ephesians 6:10-20
The Call to Stand (v.13)
We will be attacked.
We must not fear.
Alert, disciplined, ready.
No thought of retreat.
The Armor to Always Wear (v.14-15)
Belt of Truth
Readiness
Symbol of Integrity and biblical conviction
Prepares a man for action
Breastplate of Righteousness
Protects the heart and vital organs
Defense against spiritual depression and accusations
Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
Provides stability and readiness
Roman sandals would’ve been the reference. Had spikes. Firm foundation
Gospel makes us mobile, flexible, and confident with God 
The Armor to take up in Battle (v.16-17)
Shield of Faith
Roman shield would’ve have been large and covered the whole body
Stops fiery darts of fears, doubt, lies and temptation
Faith in Jesus stops Satan’s attacks rather than blocking them
Helmet of Salvation
Protects the mind from discouragement and despair
Connected to the hope of salvation (1. Thess. 5:8)
Gives courage and assurance of victory
Sword of the Spirit (Word of God)
Only offensive weapon
Effective use requires training and practice (much like soldiers would do)
Modeled by Jesus in his temptation-quotes Scripture with context and authority
Word is Spirit given and Spirit applied
How to use the Armor: Prayer (v.18-20) 
Prayer is what makes the armor work
Without prayer, we may be suited up, but we’re not in the fight
Two aspects of prayer
Praying for the saints
We fight/pray for others
We pray/fight in boldness 
Closing thoughts:
We have an enemy
John 10:10-steal, kill, and destroy
The enemy has a plan
It won’t be a full frontal assault.
It will be a dirty, misinformation campaign.
He speaks in lies/schemes
Word, worth, and work of God
Every thought has to be captive
Is that the enemy or God?
2 Cor. 10:3-5
We have to renew our mind daily.
Our form must be of God and not of this world.
Roman 12:2
Sometimes a sermon ain’t enough

Show Notes:
Introduction
Define deconstruction in Christianity
Highlight the growth of the deconstruction movement over the past decade, fueled by social media and progressive Christian voices.
The Deconstruction Movement
Examples: diluted sermons, avoidance of controversial biblical topics.
Deconstruction often results in softer theologies that prioritize inclusivity and cultural relevance over doctrinal purity.
The Turn to Conservative Reformed Theology
Explain why young men are drawn to it:
Seeking solid convictions and clear doctrine in contrast to the ambiguity of softer theologies.
Attracted to intellectual depth and historical grounding.
The Risk of Dogmatism
Define dogmatism
Overfocus on being "right,"
Elevation of theological systems or leaders to near-idolatrous status.

Show Notes:
Who’s Voice Are You Listening To?
We’re flooded with opinions- influencers, false teachers, YouTube preachers.
God has made it clear about Jesus, His voice must be supreme.
False Teachers rely on human wisdom; John reminds us: God’s word is greater. (Proverbs 3:5 - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
The Testimony Within
This isn’t some mystical elitism. This is grace-born assurance.
Distract from the Holy Spirit
“You’ve been taught wrong”
“Let ME show you the hidden meaning”
“Jesus didn’t really mean that”
We are not left to figure it out alone. We have the Holy Spirit
False Teachers and their distractions
False Teachers in Today’s Church
Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1)
The serpent moves from questioning God’s word to direct rejection of it. “You surely will not die”
The serpent explains why God actually does not want people to eat from the tree.
Jesus is a moral example, not a savior
Downplays sin and elevates personal truth
Encourages spiritual journeys without submission to Christ
Not a blatant disregard of the truth, more of a shade of the truth. They sound so reasonable and even impressive.
False teachers question what God said.
False teachers defy or reject what God said.
False teachers offer a “better” alternative
Usually subtle
Stand Firm
Know the testimony
Read the Word. Know what God says.
Trust the testimony
Let the Spirit affirm your faith, not shake it.
Reject false testimony
Don’t flirt with distortion. 
Encourage others. 
Speak up when the truth is twisted. Be Bold in truth, gentle in love 
Set Boundaries to avoid false teaching
Ask God to strengthen your knowledge, wisdom, and discernment in His Word. 
Guard your heart
How Do We Respond?
Conclusion:
The time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths,” 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Show Notes: Can Christians Drink Alcohol?
Ephesians 5:15-19
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,
Titus 2: 2-3:  Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,
Abstinence vs Moderation
Around those who are tee-totaler
Respect for our fellow believers
Are there blessings in Alcohol?
Ecclesiastes 9:7 
Amos 9:14
1 Timothy 5:23
