First Baptist Church of Fort Pierce

This week we continue in our sermon series. Love Never Fails

This theme based on 1 Corinthians chapters 8–14 weaves through Paul’s instruction on Christian liberty, worship, spiritual gifts, and church unity, emphasizing that love is the supreme virtue guiding all Christian conduct. Whether in denying ourselves for the sake of others (chapter 8), exercising our gifts within the body (chapters 12–14), or correcting disorder in worship, Paul repeatedly reminds the church that knowledge, eloquence, power, and even sacrifice are empty without love. Love is not merely a feeling but a self-giving action that seeks the good of others above self. It is patient, kind, humble, and enduring—and unlike spiritual gifts, it never fades or fails. Love is the heartbeat of the church and the mark of true spiritual maturity. This will be an exciting series of messages from God's word that will not only encourage us, but challenge us to love others more fully, and I love the Lord, our God with all our heart.


This Week's Message:

LOVE UNIFIES US AROUND THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS

This sermon, based on 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, emphasizes that love unifies believers around the sacrifice of Jesus, especially when we come together to take the Lord’s Supper. Paul confronts the Corinthians for turning the Lord’s table into a source of division rather than unity. The Supper is meant to remind us of our common need for forgiveness, our shared remembrance of Christ’s death, our mutual love for one another, and our collective longing for Jesus’ return. At the table, social status, personal performance, and past failures are laid aside as we come as one body under the grace of Christ.

The message challenges all believers to examine our hearts—not to exclude themselves from the table but to approach it humbly, with love for their church family and gratitude for the cross. It calls the church to live out its unity in Christ visibly and meaningfully during communion. As we partake, we look back to Jesus’ sacrifice and forward to His return, proclaiming His death with joy and hope. The Lord’s Supper is not just a personal moment of reflection, but a communal act of love that binds us together in the gospel.

We hope you can join us this Sunday. We look forward to seeing you.

“ . . . you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” — Ephesians 2:19-20

Scripture reminds us when a person becomes a follower of Jesus they are adopted into God’s Family - the Church is His family on earth!
