What if the "Antichrist" isn't a mysterious end-times villain — but someone your church just had a falling out with? In this opening message of our series on 1st John, Pastor Craig dives into the strange, drama-filled origin story behind one of the Bible's most feared words. Written by a small church community in ancient Turkey around 105 CE, 1st John claims to be a letter all about love — yet it labels former members as "Antichrist." So what really happened? And what does this 2,000-year-old church conflict have to teach us about handling disagreement, heartbreak, and division in our own relationships today?
