Are you trying to apply comfort to areas where God is trying to do some deep cleaning? In this opening message of our new expository series on 1 & 2 Corinthians, we dive into 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 to discover what happens when God's Spirit reaches into a messy world, a broken church, and fractured lives.Ancient Corinth was a wealthy, commercially minded, sex-obsessed port city crammed with a quarter-million people from all walks of life. Apostle Paul entered this city with fear and trembling, but left an undeniable truth for us today: if the love of Jesus can take root in Corinth, it can reach anyone, anywhere. Join us as we explore why your identity in Christ always comes before your maturity, what it truly means to be both a "saint and a servant," and why we need to stop showing up to culture with "stinky breath."
