Sermon

Summary
John closes 1 John by urging believers to have confidence in their freedom from sin's eternal penalty, their intimate relationship with God through the Holy Spirit, Scripture, and community, and their assurance that nothing compares to Christ—warning them against idolatry in all its forms.
Highlights
See that God has taken the teeth away from sin through his son Jesus Christ. He protects us from the eternal punishment that comes from our disobedience in God.
What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God. Anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God.
We're not made to live on an island. There's a reason that Paul and a lot of the apostles call the church the body of Christ.
