The Purpose
by Cody Anderson Corinth Baptist Missionary Church

Advent, a sacred season preceding Christmas, beckons believers into a profound journey of anticipation and revelation—a time woven with the threads of ancient promises and divine fulfillment. It stands as a testament to God’s grand design for redemption and liberation, encompassing the purpose of Christ’s arrival—to save the lost, grant sight to the blind, and set the captive free.

God is Light

by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

As we continue in the letter of 1 John, we need to realize the type of preacher that John is in this letter. He would not last long in most pulpits today because John never paints in the color of gray. For John, everything is black or white. There is no middle ground with him, and the reason for that is because it is the way of God. And so, John uses great contrasts for us to better understand the character and person of God.

The Message Is…
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

In 1 John, John is busy about proclaiming a message, but it is certainly no insignificant message. It is THE message that leads to true and everlasting joy in our lives, and it is THE message that, if received, gives us true and everlasting fellowship with God. And that message is about the One who came to us, Jesus Christ, who John refers to in verse 1 as the “Word of Life.”
If you are a follower of Christ, you too need to be busy (especially during this time of year) about proclaiming the only message in which people can have eternal life and that life is with the Father and only comes to us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Joy in Fellowship
Read 1 John 1:1-4.

by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

Have you ever experienced forgiveness after committing a grievous sin against someone? Maybe you were unloving towards a relative in their greatest moment of need. Or perhaps you lied about a friend in an effort to save yourself. After recognizing your sin, you knew you needed to seek that person’s forgiveness. However, you acted despicably. How could anyone, especially a close friend or family member, show you mercy? You were sure the relationship was over. And yet, against all odds and without reservation, you were forgiven. Your heart erupted with joy because of the forgiveness you had received and the restored relationship.
