Rightly Responding to Opposition

Sermon Outline

In Ephesians 6:10-12, Paul gives three critical preparations for demonic opposition to the church's mission. As you anticipate opposition, you are to prepare by:

I. Placing your Confidence in the Right Source (6:10)
II. Putting your Trust in the Required Resources (6:11)
III. Pinpointing the Reality of the Enemy (6:12)

Quotes

We are evidently no friends of Satan. Like the kings of this world, he wars not against his own subjects. The very fact that he assaults us should fill our minds with hope. - J. C. Ryle

I know well that when Christ is nearest, Satan also is busiest. - Robert Murray McCheyne
