Jesus is the Promised Christ
by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God,” (1 John 5:1, ESV). This is the fifth time in the letter of 1 John that Jesus has been referred to as the Christ. We have seen that the Christ is our righteous advocate (2:1), that believers have fellowship with Him (1:3), that antichrists deny Him as the Christ (2:22), and that we are commanded to trust in Him (3:23). But what does it actually mean to believe that Jesus is the Christ?

by Mike Gerry

Over my many years of bass fishing the one thing that keeps putting me back on the water is the pure fact that it is not easy. Bass fishing requires skill, knowledge, and technique that rewards you when you accomplish a catch, especially the bigger ones.

Constantly Connected? Smart and Safe Media Use

Today our world is totally immersed in digital media. Everything from TV and videos to social media and video games. And it all can be obtained on multiple devices such as computers, gaming consoles, smart phones and other screens. All of this media can influence how our kids feel, learn, think about life and affect their behaviors. This makes it even more important to understand the risks involved and how we can keep a healthy balance for our family.

As He Is, So Also Are We In This World
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

As we near the end of 1 John with only one chapter left to go, we come across one of my favorite statements in this letter, “as He is, so also are we in this world,” (1 John 4:17, NASB). There are several issues in this letter that John repeats often in typical John fashion, such as the subject of putting away sin and walking in His righteousness. He also discusses the subject of walking in His love, as well as confessing His Son. All of these are descriptive of the character of the God who created us and sent His Son in love to redeem us. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we are born again and begin to grow in the nature and character of God as we show forth that godly character to a lost and sinful world.
