📚 What We Learned

This week we introduced the Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10–20.Paul tells us that life can feel like a battle sometimes—but God has given us special armor to help us stay strong: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit.

Each piece teaches us how to live boldly and wisely as followers of Jesus!
