Wheat, Tares, and Waiting for the Harvest: Communion of Saints with R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon explores Saint Augustine's concept of the visible and invisible church. It clarifies that the invisible church, composed of the elect, is substantially contained within the visible church, distinguishing it from superficial interpretations like the "underground church" of the sixties. The practical takeaway is to understand that the visible church is a mixed body, reflecting Jesus' teaching on wheat and tares, and to recognize the true nature of the invisible church as those internally called by the Holy Spirit.
