“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”
II Corinthians 10:4-6
CREW 456 is the part of the GECKOS ministry that is geared toward our kids in grades four to six. We focus in this group on teaching the kids about the power they have in Christ. We focus a lot on obedience and respect using Christ as our example. A majority of our teaching focus on learning about who we are in Christ and what that means for our daily lives.
OUR CREATION
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
– II Corinthians 5:17
OUR RADICAL EQUIPMENT
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head. – Isaiah 59:17
Therefore put on the full armor 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. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And 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. – Ephesians 6:13-18
OUR BATTLE
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” – II Corinthians 10:4-6
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For 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. – Ephesians 6:10-12
