Suffering Faith Requires A Special Kind of Endurance

Last updated on: January 27, 2026 at 9:36 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Our faith in Jesus under trial requires a special kind of endurance. Are you weary of the suffering your faith keeps bringing into your life? Have you been a follower of Jesus Christ long enough that you are tired of suffering in partnership with Jesus’ calling on your life? I have served as the Senior Pastor of the same Southern Baptist Church, Vanguard Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for the past twenty-nine years. I wrote a book called “The Good... Read more

The Biblical Veracity of Women Teachers and Pastors

Last updated on: January 17, 2026 at 9:32 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

All throughout the Old Testament we see female leaders and teachers and prophets. At one of the most critical moments in the life of Israel, God used a female prophet in 2 Kings 22 to direct God’s people and teach God’s people how to return to the Lord through once again paying attention to “the scroll” which we call the Bible today. Her message was so powerful that they took it back to the King and God used a woman... Read more

Steven Furtick and Lauren Daigle: Standing at the Pinnacle

Last updated on: February 4, 2026 at 1:00 pm By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

What I am going to write in this article I write with fear and trembling before my Lord Jesus! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords! My Ruler and My God! In 2023, Pastor Steven Furtick, Lauren Daigle, and Jason Ingram wrote a song together called, “Love Me Still.” The primary lyrics of the song go like this, “When I’m at my worst, when I’m at my best, you couldn’t love me more, you’ll never love me less, You...

David Seamands And Philip Yancey

Last updated on: January 8, 2026 at 8:17 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

David Seamands and Philip Yancy, though I never met either, were heroes of the faith in Jesus to me. I am assuming you don’t know who David Seamands is, but I am sure if you have been around Christian circles for any length of time, you have probably seen Philip Yancey’s books. I was introduced to David Seamands books when I was a freshman in college at Liberty University in 1990. He was a Methodist minister who taught at Asbury... Read more

Have you lost the wonder of Christmas?

Last updated on: December 10, 2025 at 8:03 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Have you lost the wonder of Christmas? Do you fear you will never get it back? I grew up in the dark ages in the last century before computers and the internet. As a child, the wonder of Christmas arrived differently at our houses back then. I couldn’t wait for the Christmas catalog to arrive in the mail. It came about ninety days before Christmas and inside was the greatest treasures and wonders of the universe. It came with a... Read more

Charlie Kirk, A Modern Day Abel

Last updated on: October 4, 2025 at 11:09 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Did you know that the first recorded person in human history to die was a man named Abel? He was the second born son of Adam and Eve. He was murdered by his older brother, Cain. Genesis 4 records this story. Genesis 4:3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain... Read more

Two days before Charlie Kirk was murdered, he called out Pastor Steven Furtick, Senior Pastor of Elevation Church, on social media: “Hey Steven Furtick- you are the biggest pastor in Charlotte, NC with tens of millions of social media followers Why haven’t you spoke out against the murder of Iryna Zarutska?

Jesus, John The Baptist, Todd Beamer, and Charlie Kirk

Last updated on: September 12, 2025 at 9:44 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

Jesus told the disciples to tell John the Baptist who was in prison, “Blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” (Matthew 11:6) John the Baptist had stood for truth. He stood against Herod who had taken his brother, Philip’s wife, as his wife. Mark 6:18 records it, “For John had been saying to Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.’” John the Baptist stood against the political leadership of the day, and...

Honoring the Life and Legacy Of Dr. James Dobson

Last updated on: August 25, 2025 at 5:19 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

I have served as a Pastor of Vanguard Church in Colorado Springs, a Southern Baptist Church, for the past twenty-eight years. Humanly speaking, if it weren’t for Dr. James Dobson moving Focus on the Family to Colorado Springs, Vanguard would have never been birthed in Colorado Springs. My wife, Tosha and I, graduated from Liberty University in 1993. Dr. James Dobson gave the commencement speech at our graduation. He talked about going back to the University of California in Los...

New Life Church Elders Are Worthy Of Praise

Last updated on: August 7, 2025 at 11:29 am By Pastor Kelly M. Williams

In September of 2018, a book I wrote called “The Mystery of 23: God Speaks” was published and released to the public. It chronicles my experiences with Ted Haggard and the New Life Presbytery led by Pastor Larry Stockstill from Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, LA. In February of 2001 I received a prophetic vision of Pastor Ted. In October of 2001 I met with the New Life Presbytery to share that word. It was dismissed and during that... Read more
