- The Bible is a gift to boost spiritual integrity and unveil deception. In making moral decisions, the Christian would do well to consult scripture, principle, inspiration, and other related information rather than opinions. Although truth is divisive at times, truth is what clearly divides right and wrong. This sermon invites you to search the scriptures, care for others, and stand up for truth. Furthermore, when crisis arises, you are encouraged to be a caring shepherd dutifully guarding your own flock.
Bible verses for reflection:
“Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.” -Proverbs 28:6 KJV
“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” -James 4:17 NKJV
“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” Proverbs 4:18 NASB
“And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.” -Luke 1:76-79
This sermon was presented by Pastor Ron Kelly at Village SDA Church on December 11, 2021.

I am a registered nurse of 30 years and worked through the pandemic, refused the vaccine, never caught Covid, and coworkers who were vaccinated kept coming to work sick, yet I was told I would be automatically resigned if I wasn’t fully vaccinated by November 12, 2020. I resigned under protest; they wanted me to work November 11, I did not; as with all of the handling of Covid-19 their logic did not add up. God has provided, I was saddened that our church fell into the worlds solutions and abandoned the health message, big wake up call, Thank you pastor Kelly, you speak truth🙏
That is a man of God with a God given backbone. Men like him are very rare and unusual these days. May the Lord continue to bless and protect him.
Then please explain why he uses his own example to describe integrity. Why does he not use the example of others like Abraham Lincoln or Nelson Mandela. Why does he tell the right hand what the left hand is doing. What is his motive for telling us how righteous he is?
@@anthonyallen9935 - maybe because he wanted to convey the idea that he who is but a simple man can reach standards of morality, this too can be obtained by you also.
Conversely, if he had used great men of history and renowned, it may appear to the listener that only great men can reach standards of morality.
Finally, he just may have been using the example as a way of portraying the idea that we too need to be honest in all things at all times.
@@anthonyallen9935 what is wrong with giving our own examples? That was not giving. It was a mistake he made and was telling how he corrected it
@@anthonyallen9935 personally, I find his use of his own experience very useful
@@anthonyallen9935 Mandela? How's Mandela or Lincoln for that matter measures of morality? Let's focus on the word of God.
Thank you Pastor Kelly for this clear,powerful and timely message of the time.
"In this fearful time, just before Christ is to come the second time, God's faithful preachers will have to bear a still more pointed testimony than was borne by John the Baptist. A responsible, important work is before them; and those who speak smooth things, God will not acknowledge as His shepherds. A fearful woe is upon them." 1T 321.
I watched many of the broadcasts of this church during CV...I was very appreciative for the discussions. My church closed it's doors and then REQUIRED ALL to mask and disclose vaxers or nonvaxers...I am listening to this sermon in 1/2024! God Bless His people, my brother and sisters at the Village SDA!
The world will never able to understand the responsibility, the action, or the logic being a follower of Jesus.
Truly blessed! Thank God for men that stand firm, strong and tall. For men and women that inspire faith, courage and loyalty to God and His principles. Thank you Pastor Kelly! May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry!
The World's Greatest Need-The greatest want of the world is the want of men,-men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. {CM 54.4}
Praise God for a very pointed, timely, intellectually delivered sermon presented with conviction and bible truth for our time. God bless you pastor Ron Kelly 🙏👌🙌🏽🌷
Praise be to Yah for man of Yah like this telling the truth.
Powerful presentation Pastor!!! You are one of the watchmen on the walls of Zion
Truth never changes no matter what day, time, century, or millennium. God is good! May the Lord cover his Saints.
I am not a seventh day Adventist but I am a Christian bought with the pressure blood of CHRIST. I am not for any political party that violates the law of GOD. Christians need to understand that you cannot be with the powers that seek to destroy brothely love. The powers that infringe on your rights as a Christian. Thank you sir for your kindness expressed to those who have lost their jobs especially us Healthcare workers who worked with GOD'S love and risked our lives thinking always this was for our LORD . May GOD'S continued wisdom and courage abide with you as you also deal with your personal struggle.
Amen!!!! Oh how beautiful is The GOSPEL OF JESUS CHARACTER AND WAY!
Thank you for this message. Thank you. Thank you. Dear Lord, give me your courage. Cover Your people. Give us Your wisdom, love, and voice.
God Bless! A message just for our day.
2 Tim. 3:1-4. Let us not be part of evil doers, truce breakers, deceivers, liars, lovers of themselves. Thank you that you love God above all and your neighbour as yourself. The Holy Spirit stirs up the conscience of all, but some choose to ignore that and we know what Jesus said about that. Further God will give wisdom to those that seek it, I prayed and God answered my prayer immediately. My eyes were opened and I received so much information, trust in God. The vaccines are not safe, there is a greater agenda and it will all enfold soon. God is a God of truth and justice
Powerful sermon!
Thank you so much Pastor Kelly, for faithfully delivering the message of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you so much pastor! May God bless you and your service to the Lord. We are praying for you!

Amen Thank you messenger of God 🙏
Wow! What a powerful message. Thank you Pastor. Kelly.
Thank you pastor Kelly! «Many reformers, in entering upon their work, determined to exercise great prudence in attacking the sins of the church and the nation. They hoped, by the example of a pure Christian life, to lead the people back to the doctrines of the Bible. But the Spirit of God came upon them as it came upon Elijah, moving him to rebuke the sins of a wicked king and an apostate people; they could not refrain from preaching the plain utterances of the Bible,-doctrines which they had been reluctant to present. They were impelled to zealously declare the truth, and the danger which threatened souls. The words which the Lord gave them they uttered, fearless of consequences, and the people were compelled to hear the warning. « GC88 606.1
Thank you pastor for speaking truth! I pray more pastors will have the boldness that you have. You are saving lives 🙏🏻
Praise the Lord for working so powerfully through His servant. This pastor is His blessing and assurance to many, that not all have bowed the knee.
Thank you PASTOR
I shared last sermon with many people, it's not often sermons catch attention they are either a Disneyland style of adventism .
This was relevant to our times and worldlings are very in tune more than many in the church
I am not a church-going or bible-clutched for guidance, however, this was/is a beautifully presented. Message, by a man of spiritual integrity…. Thank you for the sharing … 🙏🏼✊🏼
Well done!
God bless you our dear Pastor 🙏
Amazing sermon. Thank you pastor!

@@jenniferhemmings2653 thanks.. Blessings to you and your family
Thank you! I needed to hear this. Its good to see leadership stand up. What do we do now?
Patiently endure, flee from the friendship of the world and do not stand in the counsel of the ungodly. God bless 🙏
Amen, it is easy to discern those who have the Spirit of God, and those who have the spirit of the world.
Are we going to allow the enemy to divide us over a non-salvational issue?
In the Old Testament, did they "quarantine" the healthy????
After this presentation I feel like that tortoise, The many vaccines that I received in the past never have this kind of conversation. And I really admire pastors and members of the church that have never received any vaccines as stewards of their body. It would be great to know if the other vaccines ( Anthrax, hepatitis A and B, Cholera, Diphtheria, Polio, Rabies, Rubella, Shingles, Smallpox, Tetanus, Tuberculosis, Varicella) have the same impact in the mind of the SDA pastors in these presentations. Having growth in a third world country, the stewarship of the body in African countries, the 10/40 window central and south-America countries; still impacted heavily for epidemics of these other viruses, is then demolished. I am sure that 99% of believers have at least one of these vaccines and never their "liberties" have been affected though. Suddenly then, there is this floating perception that the church is responsible to elaborate a clearer statement, like if there was not possible for the church memeber to demonstrate purely from the Scriptures his/her stance on this point of faith. I wonder if in the development of the great controversy, the members of the Church should wait for the SDA Church committees to elaborate a more clear statement on any belief, would not be that the member of the church must be solidified in an "It is written" foundation? Instead of supporting his/her stewardship on church statements?
Adventist continue to describe the USA as "the lamb-like beast" but this is in no way a scriptural description. The second beast is a beast like the others, a predator, BUT it has two horns like a lamb. The HORNS are like a lamb's horns, the body or bulk of the BEAST is like a beast. And then, in part because of this error, they throw the "it spake as a dragon" into their future, as if the beast is not already speaking like a dragon. And how does a dragon speak? According to Christ, the dragon is the father of lies. So when the beast speaks as a dragon it speaks lies. Not only that but "from the beginning" the dragon used lies to commit murder. Prevented from assaulting Adam and Eve directly, it seduced them into destroying themselves. The dragon lied, and people died. Do we have examples of this kind of behaviour in the recent history of the second beast? Yes, we do. The people of the USA (among other nations) were lied into World Wars 1 & 2, into the Korean War, into the Vietnam War, into Iraq (twice), Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, etc, etc, etc. The beast lied, and people died. Millions of people. It is past time for us to correct these self-serving errors and see the time in which we live. The mystery of iniquity is already working, it is not confined to the future!
Excellent comment, sir! God bless
Indeed brother.
Thank you! Our conference is in bed with the beast. Pray that they'll wake up and their eyes will be open.
I felt the sermon somehow accused those people who are willing to get vaccinated as a coward? I hope I wrongly concluded on this sermon…I wish the sermon is focus on Jesus and His goodness and grace.
Sorry you totally missed the point of his message.
If you are JW you have taken the mark of the Beast. It is proven by Scripture.
Where? I would surely like to know. Thank you.
The Adventist Church is NOT "A representitave form of government" Jesus was very clear on that, "Render unto Ceaser what is Ceases and unto God what is God". The church is not to be bullied by such men to to act on their agenda and their request that our tithes be used to pay for their legal cost (refference to latest leter to Church leadership)
Church governance , not political or secular governance beloved. The Adventist church abides by a REPRESENTATIVE form of church governance where laity have a voice in the decisions made by the clergy.
I’ll not be surprised if this pastor runs for Congress on the GOP/Trumpist ticket. He masterfully weaves together select scriptures that support individualism but leaves out those that support the need for the public good - except that subjective “love your neighbor.”
He’s a good orator, though; in the style of Ted Cruz.
Shame on those who grant this man the authority to "arraign" others, not even Jesus did that when He said that He had not come to judge the world. Not once do I find Jesus challenging the Roman authorities despite their many immoral acts but he did challenge the church pastor's in the church of His day. I challenge this pastor to stop riding the gravy train, to get a job like Peter, Paul and others and then to keeo on preaching what he believes!
Nobody is compelling anybody, they are given free choice as I was, work on Sabbath or loose you job, I made my choice and I do not fight back, vengence is His not mine.
Some would argue that prophet Nathan “arraigned”, king David, Elijah “arraigned” king Ahab and queen Jezebel. Other “watchmen” in the Old Testament did the same. John the Baptist “arraigned” king Herod. And Jesus did similar when he cleansed the temple. In our desire to become apolitical there is a danger of losing our identity and the role of a watchmen in this world.
Gravy train? Really?
@@kgold5962 thumbs down his comment, the algorithm will block him sooner than later. he is trolling from his moms basement. dont reply to him. he likes the attention
@@davidstoj Anthony Allen is posting negative comment on Kelly's sermons a lot. Just ignore him. His comments are juvenile. Evil needs to be encountered and overcome everywhere. Not only in the church. This is just basic and even a highschooler doesn't argue against this. Thumbs down his comment. The algorithm will block him.
The world will never able to understand the responsibility, the action, or the logic being a follower of Jesus.
