Noah Herrin preaches from Ephesians 6:10-20 about the reality of demons and how Christians should respond. He argues demons are real, powerful, and intent on destroying lives, but their strategies can be recognized: they try to convince you they don't exist, they try to move you away from God, and they oppose Christ's authority. Herrin walks through the commands to 'stand' and to 'put on the full armor of God,' urging believers to remain in Christ rather than fleeing culture or following cultural trends. He calls for bold, loving evangelism (not vague sentimentality), pursuit of holiness, and reliance on supernatural (spiritual) weapons. The sermon closes by reminding the congregation of the ultimate victory in Christ - every knee will bow - and urging prayer for boldness to proclaim the gospel.
“The gospel is not simply this idea that Jesus loves you and you can just stay the way you are ... when we put our faith in Jesus we are forgiven and simultaneously stepping into a new life where our old life dies.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Recognize spiritual opposition but do not personalize it to people - the enemy is demonic influence, not neighbors. Put on the full armor of God daily (truth, righteousness, gospel, faith, salvation, the Word) and remain in Christ and Christian community. Be bold and loving in sharing the gospel (avoid vagueness) and pursue holiness as a witness. Pray for boldness as Paul requested.

Do Your Job | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that work is part of God's good design - given before the Fall - and should be understood as worship, not punishment. He develops that idea by showing how the Hebrew word avoda links work and worship, urging Christians to do their jobs with excellence as an act of service to God.
How to Lead People to Christ | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from John 9 about evangelism, reframing it as more than simply moving someone from 'lost' to 'saved.' He uses the Engel scale idea to show there are many stages on someone's journey to God and argues that any movement closer to Christ is evangelism - planting, watering, or witnessing are all part of God's work. Skeldon encourages practical hospitality, sharing testimony, praying for people, and letting new believers speak about what God has done for them.
Holy Habits - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that a single encounter with Jesus can set someone free, but lasting transformation comes through intentionally formed 'holy habits.' He distinguishes shallow theologies (a 'get out of jail free' faith or selective obedience) from a theology that pursues kingdom transformation and insists there are no accidental saints. Herrin uses Galatians 6 to show that where we 'sow' - i.e., the habits we invest in - determines our fruit, and he urges Christians to train (not just try) to become like Christ.
