Spiritual Warfare, Part 1: The Devil (Eph. 6:10-13)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) I don’t think anyone could argue that we are in a constant state of spiritual war! Our trinity of enemies – the world, the flesh, and the devil – are all against us, and out to destroy us. Today we begin to look at the primary enemy of…
