Kicking off a new series on Ephesians 6 called "Warfare," Pastor Zach breaks down verses 10 through 13 to find that we are at war against a formidable enemy.

He explains that the resurrection is not just a metaphor but a historical event with eyewitness testimony, fulfilling what Jesus said must happen for our salvation.
