On August 31, 2025, Singapore Immanuel Church held its Sunday Service.
Intern Pastor Deborah preached the sermon on Ephesians 6:10-18, which was entitled, “Put on The Full Armour of God”. The sermon reminded the congregation that every believer faces daily spiritual warfare against an invisible but real enemy. Satan is deceitful, cunning, and always seeking to destroy God’s people, sow pride, and shake their identity in Christ. Victory is possible only by being strong in the Lord’s mighty power and not relying on human wisdom.
Remaining in Christ makes believers secure, for they are children and heirs of God with authority in Jesus’ name to resist and overcome the enemy. Paul’s teaching on the full armour of God was explained in detail. The belt of truth anchors the believer in Christ, who is Himself the truth, and provides the foundation for the Word, which is the sword sharper than any weapon against Satan’s lies. The breastplate of righteousness guards the heart with a longing for God’s kingdom and keeps believers from being shaken. The shoes of the gospel prepare them to advance and share the good news, while the shield of faith blocks the enemy’s arrows of doubt.
The helmet of salvation secures the hope of eternal life and keeps believers from growing weary, and the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, serves as the offensive weapon to fight with truth and live by the Spirit. The sermon concluded by emphasizing that all of these pieces of armour are necessary, not just some, and that believers must remain in prayer in the Spirit at all times. In doing so, they stand firm in their identity as children of God, walk in faith, and experience true victory in Christ who has already overcome Satan.
May God continue to lead all attendees to stand firmly with the armour of God in the new month of September, experiencing victory after victory in unity with Jesus Christ to bring many more souls to Salvation and raised as disciples of Christ.
