Characters of Christmas – The Shepherds – Sermon – Pastor Dave Page
Joy to the world begins with God showing up. Today we are reminded that joy does not flow from easy circumstances, but from the presence of Jesus in the middle of fear, fatigue, and uncertainty. Like the shepherds in Luke 2, we receive joy as a gift, move toward Christ in worship, then overflow in witness and love. Joy is a daily choice rooted in the Lord, practiced by rejecting joy stealers, embracing gratitude and obedience, and sharing Christ’s hope with a weary world.
Characters of Christmas – The Angels – Sermon – Pastor Dave Page
In a world overwhelmed by anxiety and uncertainty, the angels’ message to the shepherds still resonates today: “Do not be afraid; peace on earth.” Jesus, the Prince of Peace, doesn’t promise calm circumstances but offers His steadying presence within life’s chaos. This peace comes not from our efforts but through surrendering to Christ, shifting our focus to God through prayer, and replacing worry with worship. As we receive this gift at the communion table, we’re reminded that true peace flows from Christ’s presence, not from perfect conditions.
Characters of Christmas – The Prophets – Sermon – Pastor Marlee Page
Discover the profound journey of hope and promise woven through the lives of Abraham and the prophets, leading to the birth of Jesus, the ultimate embodiment of hope. This reflection invites us to trust in God’s unwavering promises, encouraging us to embody generosity and faith as we await fulfillment. As we light the Advent candle of hope, let its light remind us that God’s promises are true, even in times of waiting. This season, embrace the hope that frees us to live like Jesus, sharing love and light with others.

Renewed for Purpose – Becoming a Healthy Church – Sermon – Pastor Dave Page
God has been preparing First Baptist Kingsville through three years of learning and growth. Now it’s our turn to run the race set before us. Renewal begins not in programs but in hearts rekindled with love for Jesus. As we celebrate 202 years of faithfulness, we stand at a pivotal moment: the baton is passing to us. Together, one body with many parts, we’re called to live out what God has taught us. The journey from reflection to action starts now. Will you run your leg of the race with faith, perseverance, and love?
Living in the Name – Sermon – Pastors Dave & Marlee Page
God’s name is more than a label. It reveals His heart as compassionate, gracious, patient, faithful, and just. Living in His name means embracing your identity in Christ, reflecting His character in daily life, and choosing presence over performance. When you slow down and spend time with the Father, you discover the strength to love others well. Baptism reminds you that you belong to Him. Communion invites you to receive His grace again. Your worth comes from His presence, not your performance. You are called, loved, and invited to live every moment in His name.
Contemplation Meets Resurrection – Sermon – Pastor Dave Page
Step away from life’s noise and find God’s presence in stillness. This sermon explores how contemplation transforms us through beholding God’s compassionate nature. Like Jesus who withdrew to pray and Corrie ten Boom who found strength in suffering, we too need quiet moments with our Father. Transformation happens through seeing, not striving. When we slow down to gaze upon Yahweh’s faithfulness, His character shapes ours. Five minutes of daily stillness becomes the wellspring of compassion, allowing resurrection life to flow through us into a hurting world.
Gratitude that Grows: Seeing God’s Faithfulness in Every Season – Sermon – Pastors Dave & Marlee Page
When the world feels uncertain and heavy, gratitude becomes our anchor. This Thanksgiving message reminds us that God’s mercy renews every morning, His faithfulness spans generations, and His love endures forever. True gratitude isn’t pretending life is easy. It’s recognizing God’s steadfast presence even in difficult seasons. By remembering His mercy, recognizing His faithfulness, and responding with generosity, we transform our hearts and communities. Gratitude honors God and changes us from the inside out. This season, let’s not simply say thank you. Let’s live thankful, opening our hands and hearts to reflect His giving nature.
More Than a Label – Mercy and Justice Embrace – Sermon – Pastor Dave Page
When mercy and justice seem impossible to reconcile, God shows us through the cross and resurrection how both flow perfectly from His heart. This sermon explores how God’s forgiveness doesn’t ignore accountability, and His justice doesn’t cancel His compassion. Through biblical stories from David to Joseph, we see God’s pattern of restoration without erasing consequences. The cross becomes the meeting place where justice is satisfied and mercy pours freely. As believers, we’re called to live this tension, extending forgiveness while standing for truth, reflecting Christ’s perfect balance of grace and righteousness in our daily lives.
More Than a Label – Faithful Through the Generations – Sermon – Pastor Marlee Page
God’s unchanging character spans generations with patience, love, and faithfulness that never fails. Like Israel’s wilderness journey, our failures don’t disqualify us from His grace. His patience creates space for repentance, His love transforms our mistakes into testimonies, and His faithfulness builds legacies of faith. Through everyday choices of forgiveness, patience, and obedience, we become living witnesses of God’s enduring covenant love. Your faithfulness today shapes tomorrow’s generations. Trust Him completely and pass on this precious inheritance of faith.
More Than a Label: Compassion at the Core – Sermon – Pastor Dave Page
God’s heart overflows with active compassion and grace, bending toward us in our brokenness with the tender love of a parent. Through Christ, we experience mercy we don’t deserve and restoration when we fail. His steadfast love transforms shame into purpose, failure into testimony. As recipients of this divine grace, we become living reflections of His character, extending the same compassion to others. God’s arms remain open, His forgiveness limitless, His presence constant in our struggles.
More than a Label: The God Who Names Himself – Sermon – Pastor David Page
God’s revelation of His name in Exodus 34:6–7 is more than a label—it’s an invitation to know His true heart. Even after Israel’s failure, God meets His people with mercy, steadfast love, and grace, not condemnation. He names Himself so we can understand that His first impulse is compassion, not judgment. When we receive God as He has revealed Himself, our identity is transformed. We become secure, loved, and empowered to live in faith. Today we are reminded that God knows our name and His heart is always leaning toward us with love and faithfulness.
