Running the race of faith isn’t easy. The terrain is rugged, the obstacles are real, and the enemy is relentless. Last week, we saw the importance of examining the terrain—knowing what we’re up against in this life. But knowledge alone isn’t enough. No runner shows up on race day in flip-flops and jeans—they gear up for the course ahead. In the same way, God hasn’t left us unprepared for the spiritual battle we face. In Ephesians 6:10–20, Paul shows us the armor of God—His own gear that equips us to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. In this message, GET THE RIGHT GEAR, we’ll see three essentials for running the Christian race: Get Strong – not in yourself, but in the Lord and the strength of His might. Gear Up – putting on the full armor of God: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, Scripture, and prayer. Get Purpose – understanding why this equipment matters for real, everyday battles. You don’t fight for victory—you fight from victory. Christ has already triumphed, and when you put on His armor, you share in His strength. Don’t leave a piece behind. Gear up. Stand firm. Run hard. 📖 Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–20 🎥 Sermon Series: Running the Race 🙌 Subscribe for more gospel-centered preaching and encouragement for everyday faith.
