Let's pray.

Lord, we have a great adversary.

Many Antichrist has gone out into the world,

therefore we know it is the last hour.

But he who is in us is greater than he who's in the world,

you've told us, and therefore we will not be shaken. And so Grant, I pray now that as I attempt to describe life together at the end of the age,

I would be faithful to your word and that you would grant ears to hear to those who are listening.

Fill me now with your Holy Spirit so that the truth is spoken and the demonstration of the

spirit and power is manifest. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

So as a part of the series that we're in that Jason is bringing in these days I want to talk to you

about life together at the end of the age and here's the way I'm going to

approach it first we'll go to our text and state the main point of the message and locate it in the text with the biblical foundation under it very briefly.

And then we will turn to explain why I am choosing to talk about this.

I could have, Jason said I could talk about anything I wanted to, so why this?

Third, I will describe what I mean by the end of the age

from the Bible.

And finally, I'll return to the Bible. And finally I'll return to the text and show you why the main point of the text is so important in protecting ourselves in the last day from the deceivers that have

gone out into the world.

So that's where we're going.

If you like maps.

Now turn with me again to 2nd John,

...
