Courageous Intercession For The Unrepentant

Last updated on: August 10, 2021 at 4:05 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

COURAGEOUS INTERCESSION FOR THE UNREPENTANT God want us to be heartbroken over the sin of others in our lives who claim His name but refuse to repent. He calls us to intercede on their behalf. He calls us to stand in the gap and do for them what they are not even willing to do for themselves. One of the most loving things you can ever do for an unrepentant person is to pray for their...

Characteristics Of A Heart For God

Last updated on: August 10, 2021 at 1:09 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

CHARACTERISTICS OF A HEART FOR GOD King David had a heart for God. No, he wasn’t perfect by any means. But he loved God and pursued God with his heart. He had a heart for God. How about you? Do you want a heart for God? Do you want to chase after God with the desires, hopes, dreams, and aspirations of your heart? “What are the characteristics of a person’s life who seeks after God’s heart?” The prophet Samuel describes...

Courageous Confrontation

Last updated on: August 3, 2021 at 1:11 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

COURAGEOUS CONFRONTATION Someone once said, “One of the greatest tests of a person’s character is how they handle someone else’s sin in the public arena.” If you walk with the Lord long enough, there will come a time when you have to confront someone else’s sin, possibly in the public arena. The Bible is very clear both in the New Testament in Galatians 6 and in the Old Testament in the book of Jeremiah, that we have... Read more

Trust The Science

Last updated on: August 3, 2021 at 10:42 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

TRUST THE SCIENCE “Trust the science.” This is the new buzz phrase for encouraging people to get the covid 19 vaccination. Regardless of where you fall on getting the covid vaccine or not, I want to unpack the phrase, “Trust the science.” What does it mean to trust the science? The ad campaigns for the covid 19 vacinnes tell us that science tells us that the covid vaccine is safe, secure, and reliable. I think what... Read more

Church Hush Money: “For The Sake Of The Gospel, Really?”

Last updated on: July 30, 2021 at 3:47 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

CHURCH HUSH MONEY: “For The Sake Of The Gospel, Really?” What is hush money? It is money paid so that someone will keep information a secret. Sadly, this has become a way of life in the churches and ministries in the United States today. Orpah Winfrey recently created a whole multi-season show called “Greenleaf” that airs on Netflix. This fictional show chronicles the ways churches try to bury the truth. Unfortunately, way too many real life... Read more

Pastor Steven Furtick And Evangelical Heresy

Last updated on: October 1, 2025 at 5:21 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Is Almost True Good Enough For The Gospel? I read recently an article from Life Way Research that said we now live in a day and age in the United States where one-third of all evangelical Christians do not believe Jesus is God. That is staggering to consider! Especially since Jesus Himself said in the Bible… John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the Father except by me. ... Read more

Is Anxiety The New Normal?

Last updated on: July 30, 2021 at 2:15 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

IS ANXIETY THE NEW NORMAL? We know that Covid has left its mark on us as a society and as individuals. It will have lasting impact and effect on us. We know this. It causes me to pause and ask, “Is anxiety our new normal?” It is a good question. It doesn’t have to be. Paul found himself captured and confined to a jail cell in the book of Philippians. Many of... Read more

Courageously Come Back To God

Last updated on: July 30, 2021 at 1:41 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

COURAGEOUSLY COME BACK TO GOD Have you ever given a public talk or a private rebuke to someone that you knew would eventually come back to cost you greatly? Yet, you knew if you were going to be obedient to God, you had to do it anyway. Jeremiah gives a series of sermons at the gates of the Temple. This series of sermons over a period of time, has been called one of the majestic scenes of history. These... Read more

Why Should We Courageously Repent To God

Last updated on: July 30, 2021 at 1:20 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

WHY SHOULD WE COURAGEOUSLY REPENT TO GOD? Is God asking you to repent in any way in your life? Our response to that last question reveals to us the condition of our hearts with God. Do you know why God wants you to repent? Israel had forgotten why in Jeremiah’s day. So, Jeremiah had to remind them in Jeremiah 4:1-2, “If you return, O Israel, if you remove your detestable things and swear to righteousness,... Read more

Why Read God’s Word

Last updated on: July 16, 2021 at 10:04 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

WHY READ GOD’S WORD? As an eighteen-year-old student at Liberty University in August of 1989, I made a commitment to Jesus to read my Bible ten chapters a day until I had read it a hundred times. What I learned is, there are eleven hundred and eighty-nine chapters in the Bible. Nine hundred and twenty-nine in the Old Testament and two hundred and sixty chapters in the New Testament. That means you will spend three-fourths of your time... Read more
