Loving God and Others by Making Disciples who Make Disciples

Ephesians 6:18-24 All Prayer

After witnessing Jesus miracles of healing, casting out demons, preaching with great authority, the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray.

Ephesians 6:17 The Sword of the Spirit

As important as defense is, we must have offense if we are going to win. God has equipped us to not just survive but win; win against temptation, win against error and lies, and win souls. The sword of the spirit which is the word of God is the only offensive weapon we need in…
