November 9, 2025 Worship – The Helmet of Salvation


What’s on your mind? In a world that constantly competes for our attention, the greatest battlefield is often our own mind. Paul calls us to “take the helmet of salvation” the protection that guards our thoughts from despair, doubt, and distortion. Assurance in Christ anchors our thoughts, peace replaces panic, and faith renews our perspective. When we daily renew our minds in Christ, we think clearly, live confidently, and walk in grace. So, again, what’s on your mind?
