Let’s be honest—church can get messy. Conflicts, immaturity, division, pride, moral failures… these aren’t just ancient Corinthian problems—they’re ours too. In this powerful message from 1 Corinthians 1:1–9, Pastor Deonte Walters opens our series with a hope-filled reminder: even when the church is a hot mess, God is still at work.

Paul didn’t give up on the church in Corinth—and neither does Jesus give up on us. Despite their chaos, Paul reminds these believers (and us) of three unshakable truths: God defines who we are, God gives us what we need, and God finishes what He starts.

Whether you’ve been hurt by the church or just need a fresh vision of what Christ sees in His people, this message will challenge and encourage you to see the church not as a polished showroom but as a beautiful work-in-progress—loved by God, filled with grace, and destined for glory.
