Series: The church is messy because it is full of messy people.  Yet it still is God's chosen instrument to bring light to the world.  How do we reconcile the mess church can be with the perfect of God.  How do we love and serve the church in the way Christ served the church?  1 Corinthians shows us how God loves, chastens, disciplines, and restores His church even when it looks too far gone.

Sermon: If we are going to live in this world, we need to understand that God's grace is the only chance we have.  It also is the only chance others have at making it.  We must keep our own need for grace at the forefront of our minds when dealing with others.

Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:19
