    Podcast Episode: The Truth About Joy & Peace

    In this eye-opening sermon, The Truth About Joy & Peace, Apostle Gregory Kelley unpacks the profound difference between fleeting happiness and the enduring power of joy and peace in a believer’s life. Drawing from Philippians 4:4-9 (NLT) and key insights from Romans 5:1 (NLT), Apostle Kelley guides listeners through the true nature of joy, which isn’t rooted in material comfort but in the unshakable security of knowing we possess the “only thing that really matters”—a relationship with Christ.

    Apostle Kelley emphasizes the importance of having proper expectations, teaching us that underestimating the enemy leaves us ill-prepared, while overestimating him can lead us to surrender prematurely. Just as Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NLT), our joy and peace will be tested, yet God equips us to stand firm. Apostle Kelley also sheds light on how our old mindset—where God seemed like an enemy—shifts when we experience true peace with God through faith in Christ.

    In this episode, Apostle Kelley identifies the three main areas that can rob us of peace and offers practical insights for presenting our requests to God with thanksgiving. Learn how to protect your joy and peace in a world full of distractions and find the strength to rejoice regardless of circumstance. Listen in to discover the peace that comes not from comfort but from the security of knowing you are held by God’s hand.

  • The Importance Of Full Armor 10•30•24

    In this powerful sermon, Apostle Gregory Kelley dives into The Importance of Full Armor with insights drawn from Ephesians 6:11-17 (NIV) and Jeremiah 1:17 (AMP). Apostle Kelley explores the essence of spiritual armor and why it’s crucial for every believer to stand protected on the battlefield of life.

    Listeners will be challenged to consider obedience and the unique covenant of relationship we have with God, one that demands a complete submission of will—even when understanding falls short. True agreement with God isn’t merely about what we feel like doing; it’s the decision to align with His plan and say, "I decide to follow You fully," even in the most challenging moments.

    Apostle Kelley reflects on the vital difference between a God who is merely our employer versus our Master. In this battlefield of life, we can't simply say, "I quit," when things get hard. Instead, our strength comes from a steadfast relationship with God, embracing every piece of armor—from truth to righteousness, faith to salvation, and the Word of God as our sword.

    Tune in to this episode for an inspiring message on standing firm, staying equipped, and embodying the spiritual armor needed to face every challenge with confidence in God’s plan.

  • Jesus' Response to Simon and the Woman with the Alabaster Box 10•21•24
    Oct 21 2024

    Send us a text

    In this message, Apostle Gregory D. Kelley unpacks the contrasting responses of Simon the Pharisee and the woman with the alabaster box from Luke 7:36-50 (NIV). Simon approaches Jesus intellectually, seeking discussion and analysis, while the woman, known as a prostitute, offers her whole life to Jesus in an act of deep personal devotion. Simon's impersonal, detached approach highlights the difference between religion and relationship—he wants a conversation, but she desires a transformation. Her act of anointing Jesus’ feet with the alabaster jar symbolizes the surrender of her past life, seeking not just forgiveness but an intimate connection with Christ.

    The sermon challenges us to reflect on how we approach Jesus—are we seeking a distant, intellectual encounter, or do we offer Him our whole hearts in genuine relationship?

  • Why Sarah and Abraham Laughed 10•16•24
    Oct 21 2024

    Send us a text

    In this enlightening sermon, Apostle Gregory D. Kelley dives into the story of Sarah and Abraham’s laughter, drawing on Genesis 21:1-7 (NKJV) and Genesis 18:12-13 (NKJV). The laughter they shared was not merely one of joy but a mixture of disbelief, skepticism, and wonder at the promises of God. Apostle Kelley explores how Sarah, upon hearing the Lord’s promise of a son, laughed in skepticism, doubting the reality of such a miracle at her old age. Genesis 18:12-13 highlights this intellectual skepticism, as both Abraham and Sarah were faced with the seeming impossibility of God’s promise.

    Apostle Kelley ties this story to 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV), emphasizing that all of God's promises are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ, regardless of human doubt. The message underscores how even in moments of skepticism or laughter rooted in disbelief, God's word remains true, and His promises never fail.

    The sermon further reflects on Genesis 21:8 (NKJV), as the fulfillment of God's promise brought laughter of a different kind—one of joy and amazement. Sarah’s disbelief turned into overwhelming joy as Isaac, the promised son, was born, and their laughter became a testament to the faithfulness of God.

    Key Scriptures:

    • Genesis 21:1-7 (NKJV)
    • Genesis 18:12-13 (NKJV)
    • 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV)
    • Genesis 21:8 (NKJV)

  • Converted by the Holy Spirit Pt. 2 10•13•24
    Oct 21 2024

    Send us a text

    In this powerful sermon, Apostle Gregory D. Kelley unpacks the essence of true conversion using Acts 10:27-47 as a foundation. The message centers around the transformative nature of conversion, not as a replacement of who we are, but as a refacing—a complete turning around to face in a new direction. Conversion is God's initiative, driven by His power and purpose in our lives. Apostle Kelley emphasizes that real conversion begins with God's ability to assess and act independently, initiating transformation in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

    Key Scriptures:
    - Acts 10:27-47
    - Matthew 18:3

    Transformation is possible when we surrender to God's initiative and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into true conversion.

    In this Bible study titled Converted by the Holy Spirit, based on Acts 10:27-47 (NIV), the focus is on the transformative power of true conversion. Conversion is described as a complete turn, a refacing rather than a replacement of who we are. The first key point emphasizes that real conversion begins with God's initiative—His divine prompting and guidance, as defined in Matthew 18:3 (NKJV), which calls for childlike humility to enter the kingdom of heaven. The second point highlights how conversion often challenges religious traditions, pushing believers beyond mere ritualistic practices. The final point addresses the transformation brought by the Holy Spirit, marking a genuine spiritual conversion. Two key signs of this conversion are speaking in tongues and praising God, both outward expressions of inward transformation led by the Holy Spirit.
