One of the most devastating things that happens in the life of a church is that sometimes folks who you\u2019ve loved and served and trusted - who seemed like they were all-in on Christ and His church - walk away, leaving behind not only the relationships you\u2019ve built, but their faith in Christ as well. When that happens, it naturally hurts and confuses us. How do we process it? In this sermon, we see that the people John was writing to experienced this same hard reality (I John 2:19), and we hear from the Spirit on why God allows this to happen.
