1 John 2:18-27

In this sermon, we explore the nature of the church, looking at both the visible church (those gathered together in time and space) and the invisible church (those transformed by saving faith in Jesus Christ). A right understanding of the church is a means of guarding against error.

Key Points:

- We live in the "last hour," which is the final era of history before Christ's return

- The visible church will always have some who are drawn toward false teaching, and we should be on guard

- A proper understanding of who Jesus Christ is will protect us from going astray
