Ephesians 6:10-12
INTRO: I want you to take your Bibles now this morning and turn with me to Ephesians chapter 6 as we continue in our series of studies on "A Life Worth Living." If you're our guest this morning, we're in a study on the great stories and people of the Bible to discover just what are the characteristics of conspicuous Christians?
Now, so far in this study we've seen Joshua lead the children of Israel to victory in the Battle of Jericho. We've seen David win the victory over a giant named Goliath.

Those of us in the South have referred to it as "the battle of Sharpsburg," but most folks today know it simply by one word – Antietam. In that bloody battle, General Robert E. Lee planned to march his 40,000 southern soldiers against General George B. McClellan's 87,000 man army. He had just won the second battle of Manassas, or what we in the south have affectionately called the second battle of Bull Run, and he thought that if he could win a second victory over the Union Army, it might entice Great Britain to recognize the Confederacy, and force ...
