2022-08-301h 54First Baptist Church of Orange Park - Sermon AudioPsalm 61 || David Tarkington (June 5, 2022)John Mayer has many good songs, but there’s one that came to mind as I read this psalm. It’s titled “Stop This Train” and the lyrics speak of challenge of … well … living. Life goes on. Seemingly out of control. Decisions are made by other people that impact many. Good is nice, but bad seems to be bigger. And memories of days gone by become treasures, but seemingly treasures that can get lost in the shuffle of busyness.
David writes Psalm 61 with a similar theme to Mayer's song. Sometimes we face similar overwhelming thoughts and cry out to God, "Help me!" Th...

2022-05-1646 minFirst Baptist Church of Orange Park - Sermon AudioBEHOLD THE STRENGTH OF GOD (ISAIAH 52) || David Tarkington (April 10, 2022)So...who goes to heaven? Good people?
The sacrifice of Christ is prophesied in Isaiah 52 and it is the culmination of the plan for redemption. Good people do not go to heaven, but the justified ungodly people (and all people are ungodly apart from Christ) are the redeemed ones. Pastor David Tarkington speaks on this reality and why it is so difficult to love people as Christ does.
2022-04-1022 minFirst Baptist Church of Orange Park - Sermon AudioACTS 20:7-12 || David Tarkington (October 17, 2021)The story of the man falling asleep during Paul's sermon and falling out of a three-story window and dying is a bit humorous (don't worry, he is brought back to life by God through Paul and all is good.)

In this sermon Pastor David Tarkington looks to this passage for the timeless principle that can change our lives for the good and God's glory.
2021-07-1236 minFirst Baptist Church of Orange Park - Sermon AudioACTS 14:19-23 || David Tarkington (May 16, 2021)When the warriors return from battle, the home nation and family members rejoice. While Paul and Barnabas may not have considered themselves warriors, their return to Antioch was welcomed with great praise of God and excitement. The mission, the message, and the spreading of the gospel were essential then, and now. Pastor David Tarkington preaches from Acts 14 at First Baptist Church of Orange Park.

2021-01-1747 minFirst Baptist Church of Orange Park - Sermon AudioThe Healthy Church Prays Expectantly || David TarkingtonThere are many designations of local church that people use - friendly, good, welcoming, large, etc. All are good designators, but there is a descriptor that we must seek to maintain at all times - the healthy church.

Prayer is not easy, though it seems it should be. We seek to be a healthy church that prays expectantly. We pray that all local churches do the same.

Cornelius, the Gentile centurion is told by God send for Simon Peter to tell him what it means to follow Christ. The only challenge is that no where in Peter's mind was it even conceivable that God would want someone like Cornelius in his family. God was doing a major work on Cornelius, but also on Peter.

Pastor David shares about our town's history regarding race relations and the first interracial school in the town (and state) that existed until pressure from the state and community shut it down in 1917. What does that have to do with Acts 10? Peter is soon to meet Cornelius - the first Gentile who will become part of the church.
