The Sword's Wrath

Sunday Night 9-28-25
The sermon centers on the spiritual reality of spiritual warfare, drawing from Ephesians 6:12–18 to emphasize that believers face not merely human opposition but supernatural forces of darkness. It underscores the necessity of the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—as essential for standing firm in a world marked by violence, deception, and moral compromise. The preacher connects this divine warfare to real-world events, including a church attack, using Scripture to affirm that God sovereignly uses even wicked rulers and systems as instruments of His judgment, as seen in passages from Job, Romans, and Revelation. The sermon warns against religious pride and political idolatry, rejecting post-millennial views that elevate human efforts to conquer the world, and instead affirms that Christ’s return precedes any earthly victory. Ultimately, it calls believers to spiritual readiness, personal holiness, and evangelistic compassion, reminding the audience that God’s final judgment is certain, and His ultimate revelation—seeing His face in righteousness—awaits only after the final defeat of evil.
