Ps Dan Cronin

📖 Ephesians 6:14a – “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.”

Truth holds everything together. In a world where “your truth” and “my truth” are constantly shifting, God’s truth remains unchanging — it protects, it frees, and it keeps us ready for the battles we face. In this message, Pastor Dan Cronin unpacks: Truth Protects from Lies – learning to recognise and resist the enemy’s deception.

Truth Brings Freedom – discovering how knowing Jesus, the Truth, breaks the chains of fear and shame. Truth Keeps Us Ready – living alert, anchored, and equipped for whatever comes.

💬 “The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master.” – P.T. Forsyth

Join us as we explore how to live grounded, confident, and free — standing firm in God’s truth.

Ps Dan Cronin

We’re in Week 3 of our series The Armour of God — and this week, Ps Dan unpacks what it really means to “put on the breastplate of righteousness.”

Righteousness isn’t about perfection — it’s about protection. It’s both a gift we receive from Jesus and a life we choose to live daily. When we’re clothed in Christ’s righteousness, our hearts are guarded against accusation, compromise, and shame.

💡 In this message: Discover what “righteousness” truly means (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Learn how holiness and obedience protect us from unnecessary wounds Be reminded that you fight from acceptance, not for acceptance Be encouraged to stand confident in who you are in Christ

📖 “Stand firm then, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.” — Ephesians 6:14
