Welcome to the York Street Church of Christ. We trust you have a great time with us as we worship our Awesome God.

Today we continue with the WARRIOR series as we look at our final piece of the Spiritual Armour THE SHIELD OF FAITH. The soldiers shield was large and protected you from the enemies’ spears and arrows. The Shield of Faith is our defence from the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
This weekend we also say farewell to Sarah Barlow in the role of Worship Director. Sarah has served in this role here at York Street for over four years and has done an awesome job. Sarah has built a great team around her and has often done much more than the role required. Today we acknowledge her work with us and congratulate her in her new role as secondary music teacher at Ballarat Clarendon College. Sarah will continue to be involved here at York Street, in particular with the Eureka Carols. Please be praying for Sarah, Andy, Luke and Emma.

Thanks once again for worshipping with us today.

Blessings —Tim
