William Tyndale And The 1526 English Bible: 500 years later

Last updated on: September 8, 2026 at 10:04 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

As an English-speaking person from the United States, it is hard to imagine an internet world without English. As a Southern Baptist pastor at Vanguard Church in Colorado Springs for almost three decades, it is hard to imagine a church world without an English Bible. Yet five hundred years ago the world did not have an English Bible. This is the world William Tyndale grew up in and chose to change by publishing the first printed New Testament in English...

Can You Serve God and Money? Jesus Says Pick One

Last updated on: August 4, 2026 at 8:57 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

The video message version of this article. Provision At The Table: Is Your God Financially Enough? Seven out of ten Americans would rather die than run out of money. But Jesus said, “You can’t serve money and me.” (Matthew 6:24) As a pastor I am watching people leave the church in groves and chase after the money of this world. But God wants us to sit down at His table and trust His provision. God wants us to love Him... Read more

The Good Pastor: Providing Care & Correction For God’s Sheep

Last updated on: August 4, 2026 at 10:14 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

The Word of God expects pastors to be good pastors like the Good Shepherd. I have spent almost thirty years of my life pastoring the same church in Colorado Springs, Vanguard Church, who for now is still a part of the Southern Baptist Convention. God said to Israel in the book of Ezekiel, And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord GOD.” (Ezekiel 34:31) Jesus then comes along in the... Read more

The SBC Ban of Women Pastors: A Battle of Semantics and Fear

Last updated on: July 20, 2026 at 2:18 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Introduction: Why I’m Writing This Professor Denny Burk of Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, my home state, has crafted the Southern Baptist Convention’s statement banning women from teaching and pastoring roles. It reads as follows: “The SBC does not act to affirm, appoint, or endorse a woman serving in the office or function of a pastor/elder/overseer, specifically preaching to the assembled congregation.” What does this mean for the almost fifty thousand Southern Baptist Churches across the world, including the...

Intro Leaving Your Place of Shittim From Bondage to Blessing

Last updated on: July 16, 2026 at 4:35 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Shittim happens. They say it happens. It happens to you. It happens to me. It happens to those we love. It even happens to those we hate. (I know, we are not supposed to hate anyone, but the point is…) It happens to everyone we know. All of us will find ourselves from time to time in a place called Shittim. The question isn’t will we find ourselves there, the question is what... Read more

Breaking Generational Sins In Your Family Tree

Last updated on: July 16, 2026 at 4:38 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

If you are a child of King Jesus, the enemy can’t curse you, but you can still curse yourself. And some of the ways that we best curse ourselves is through family and generational sins and secrets that get handed down to us from generation to generation within our own family. The nation of Israel was held in bondage for 430 years in Egypt. That’s a long time to be slaves! God sent a burning bush experience to Moses and... Read more

Southern Baptist Churches With Female Teachers Many years ago, when our family was young and all our kids were still at home, we decided to assign seats at the dinner table. We decided we didn’t want to argue and fuss and fight over who sat where every time we sat down for dinner. And so, I picked my seat first, Tosha picked hers second, and then we allowed each of our five children, depending on their birth order, to pick... Read more

Three Words That Changed History: “Jesus Became Sin.”

Last updated on: March 24, 2026 at 6:55 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

As we enter the Easter season and look to Holy Week, we want to center our attention on the significance of Christ’s work of redemption for all of humanity. The Apostle Paul did the same thing for the church at Corinth in the first century. He reminded them of these three words, “Jesus became sin.” These three words changed the course of history and not only history but eternity for all who choose to believe in Jesus Christ’s sacrificial work...

A Response to Francis Chan’s Public Apology

Last updated on: March 17, 2026 at 6:46 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Recently Francis Chan put out a statement on his crazylove.org website apologizing for his careless words he spoke regarding Mike Bickle and other leaders he had previously endorsed. Here is his statement: I know that my endorsements of leaders who have later fallen have added to the hurt and heartbreak experienced by the Body, and for this, I sincerely apologize.

Whose Name Are you Making Great?

Last updated on: February 3, 2026 at 10:39 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

In 1989 I went off to college as an eighteen-year-old to Liberty University to become a young champion for Christ, as Dr. Jerry Falwell would say, and be great for God. What I didn’t realize then, thirty-six years ago, I realize now as a fifty-four-year-old man, my ambition may have been more selfish than noble. My goal may have been more misguided than godly. If the truth be told, I wanted to be great for God. I don’t know that... Read more
