Sermon Summary: This Advent sermon explores the armor of God, specifically focusing on the shield of faith from Ephesians 6. Using John 1:1-18 as a foundation, the pastor emphasizes that Jesus came to reveal what God is like and that our faith provides access to God's power rather than generating power itself. The sermon illustrates how spiritual reality differs from physical perception, much like the refraction of light in water distorts what we see. True faith is described as belief that moves us to action—a function of the mind that shows up in our feet. The pastor challenges believers to act as if God is telling the truth, allowing spiritual understanding to inform our physical reality rather than letting circumstances dictate our faith.
