    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
    2024/10/21

    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
    2024/10/21

    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.

  • Converted By The Holy Spirit 10•8•24

    Send us a text

    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.

  • Sustainability 10•3•24
    2024/10/03

    Send us a text

    In this Bible study, Apostle Gregory Kelley dives into the profound principle of sustainability—using a resource so it is neither depleted nor permanently damaged. Drawing from Genesis 2:9, 16-17 (ESV), we learn that God established limits for humanity, showing that all good work must respect His boundaries.

    Apostle Kelley also explores how unity is foundational to sustainability. When we walk together in unity, as highlighted in Psalm 133:1 (CEV) and 1 Corinthians 1:10 (CEV), we foster a community where resources, spiritual and physical, are maintained and flourish.

    But what happens when our faith, hope, and sense of purpose feel depleted? Through Jeremiah 15:16 (CEV) and Genesis 39:5 (ESV), Kelley challenges us to examine areas in our lives where our belief may be diminishing. Are we feeling drained or struggling to hold on to hope?

    In a world that constantly demands more from us, Apostle Kelley reminds us of the importance of rest. Drawing from Psalm 4:8 (CEV), we are encouraged to find peace in God’s presence, replenishing our strength and renewing our faith.

    Join us as we uncover how to sustain our spiritual resources and maintain our purpose by respecting God's limits and embracing rest.

  • The Furious Love of Jesus 9•29•24
    2024/10/03

    Send us a text


    In this sermon, Apostle Gregory Kelley explores the profound depths of God’s love through the story of Lazarus’ death and resurrection in John 11:3-7 and John 11:20-37. He contrasts Jesus’ bold, straightforward response to Martha with His speechless, deeply troubled reaction to Mary, where He is moved to tears, revealing both divine authority and human empathy.

    This sermon challenges us to understand the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Tears— two facets of God’s love that we see in Jesus. Apostle Kelley also draws from 2 Corinthians 12:9-11 to show how God’s grace shines in our weaknesses and how His furious love compels us to embrace both truth and vulnerability.

    Apostle Kelley delves into the balance between liberal and conservative approaches to faith: the liberal willingness to embrace new ideas and the conservative hold on traditional values. Jesus embodies both as He navigates the tensions between bold proclamation and deep compassion, especially in John 11:33 and John 11:38, where His tears and troubled spirit reveal the furious love He has for us all.
