First Baptist Church of Fort Pierce

This week we are in the 4th 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 Calls Believers To Pick Sides”

This sermon is based on 1 Corinthians 10:12–33. It emphasizes that the Lord’s Supper is more than a ritual—it’s a declaration of our exclusive love and loyalty to Jesus. Just like a soldier must choose which flag to stand under, believers must reject divided loyalties and commit fully to Christ. At the Table, we proclaim that Jesus alone is Lord and affirm our unity with His body, the church. This sacred act calls us to renounce idols, embrace spiritual family, and live in a way that reflects our allegiance to Christ.

Furthermore, the message teaches that the Lord’s Supper shapes how we live and love. Christian freedom is not for self-indulgence but for building others up. Just as Jesus gave Himself for us, we are called to love others sacrificially—both within the church and beyond it. Every time we partake of the Table, we are reminded that love never fails, and true love calls us to pick a side—and live like we truly belong to Jesus.

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!
