First Baptist Church of Fort Pierce

This week we are in the 5th week of our NEW 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 TAKES JOY IN OUR GOD-GIVEN ROLES”

This message from 1 Corinthians 11:1–16 teaches that God’s design for men and women in the home and church is both intentional and beautiful. Rather than erasing differences, God’s love calls us to embrace them with joy. Paul outlines a divine order that mirrors the relationship between Christ and God the Father—an order rooted not in superiority or inferiority, but in purpose, interdependence, and mutual honor. While cultural expressions may change (like head coverings), the biblical principle of honoring our God-given roles remains timeless.

The sermon highlights five key truths: God establishes order, celebrates differentiation, affirms equality, fosters interdependence, and calls for unity. These truths invite believers to stop competing and start complementing one another, building homes and churches that reflect the beauty of God’s character. In a world that resists roles, the church is called to show that love takes joy in God’s good design — not with reluctance, but with faith, grace, and peace.

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!
