Our Righteous Advocate and Propitiation
by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Church
“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. [And] if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world,” (1 John 2:1-2, ESV).
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.
The Promise

We pause in our series of First John to focus on the Advent of Christ.
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.
