Russell L. Kelfer

Russell Lee Kelfer was used of God in ways which illustrate the Scriptural principle which is the theme of his homegoing celebration: "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty" (I Corinthians 1:23). God called Russell to a variety of Kingdom tasks for which he had no worldly credentials, proving to all of us that "My grace is sufficient for thee:

If Only You’d Been Here

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/31

As we look at the familiar portion of Scripture that deals with the death of Lazarus, we see Jesus as our model of sensitivity in the midst of grief. Jesus’ spirit was deeply troubled at the death of Lazarus, but He did not move until God’s timing was perfect. He knew Lazarus was about to be raised again, but His heart was grieved that those He loved were hurting. We are given the challenge to display the mind and heart of Christ, Who met the needs of those placed in his path with compassion.Read

Why Do You Run When I’m Crying?

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/31

This is the first in a series of messages about sensitizing the Church to minister to those who are hurting. In future lessons, we will look at ministering to those who are grieving and lonely, those children crying out to be themselves in a cookie-cutter world, crumbling marriages, the life of the elderly and dying, and those people the world considers “different”. We will look to see the balance in a Church which calls on men to repent and believe, but also goes out to a hurting, dying, grieving

Yet Not I

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/29

The New Testament church was not characterized by programs, but by power. It was that amazing thing called grace that enabled a band of nobodys – who had nothing but God – to turn their world upside down. Only God could change the world, and if He were to use the likes of them, it would only be by grace. He calls, He enables, and He it is that is to receive the glory. Although the devil would try to convince us that we have succeeded in accomplishing great things for God, don’t be fooled. It is not

Grace Greater Than All Our Sin

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/29

We believe that God’s grace is sufficient for salvation, but we often fail to believe that the same grace can deliver us from the same bondage to the same enemy who once held us captive. We need to take a fresh look at God’s indwelling grace. Are you still chafing under the guilt of sins long since forgiven? Are you using God’s grace to resist the devil in a time of temptation? There is always a way of escape – through grace.Read lesson: 1243A

My Grace Is Sufficient

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/28

Grace in adversity. We have all experienced it or will experience it as Christians. Will God take circumstances away? Not necessarily. Sometimes grace is the ability to endure without defeats of self-pity or bitterness. It could be a calmness that comes over our souls as the storms intensify. One thing we know is that God’s grace is sufficient. What is the purpose behind granting grace through adversity? It radiates the nature of God to a world that is searching for answers. See how God’s grace is

Growing in Grace

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/27

Grace: It is God’s power implanted in a human body for divine purposes. It is alive in you and me – doing what we cannot do, being what we cannot be. How can we grow in grace? How can we live in the freedom of God’s grace? Like growing up physically, it requires nourishment, exercise and certain experiences that require us to make decisions and live by the results of those decisions. We cannot, but He can – totally by His grace.Read lesson: 1242A

Because He Is. . . Grace

Amazing Grace – what is it all about? We talk a lot about grace, but do we actually understand it. How do we become recipients of God’s grace? What are the four elements that must be remembered for grace to be grace? What are the four enemies of grace? For the next several lessons we will look at the grace life and see how it functions.Read lesson: 1241B

Because He Is. . . Mercy

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/25

Mercy. It defies every basic characteristic of the natural man. No other attribute of God more greatly benefits sinful man than this one. It is that aspect of God’s nature that allows Him to temper His wrath without compromising His holiness. What does the mercy of God do? Why does God do it? The mercy of God is ours for the asking. Find out how you, too, can experience the mercy of God.Read lesson: 1241A

Because He Is. . . Holy

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/24

Holy is our God. What does that mean? Why does the One who created heaven and earth call Himself “Holy”? If God is holy, and we were created to reflect His likeness, shouldn’t we also live a life of holiness? We need to recapture a sense of the holiness of God in the Church today. As we do, we, like Moses, will be standing on holy ground in awe of the presence of our God.⁠Read lesson: 1240B

Because He Is. . . Immutable

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/23

God never changes. He is eternal. He is immutable. He is God. Were He to change, He could not be God. Were He to be bound by time, He could not be God. The very essence of His being demands that He be eternal and immutable. Understanding what that means can literally transform our lives.Read lesson: 1240A

Because He Is. . . Omniscient

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/19

What does God know? He knows everything. He knows everything that ever happened, is happening, or will happen. He knows our every thought, and the secret motives of our hearts are clear to Him. Because He knows, we need not hide from God, but rather find rest in Him. He knows everything about us and loves us.Read lesson: 1239B

Because He Is. . . Omnipotent

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/18

Power! We see God’s power at work in nature all around us in hurricanes, tornadoes, the very sun rising in the morning. God never gets tired. He never gets weary. His power never needs to be replenished. He does what He does without effort, and He does not need our aid to accomplish His purposes. However, God has taken the vehicle of His power, His spoken Word, and made it available to us. Yes, God’s power can be ours! God has granted to us unlimited power through His Word: power that will change

Because He is. . . God

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/18

In our first look at God’s nature, we will look at His supremacy: that aspect of His being that so sets Him apart from man that comparisons with man become meaningless. Snapshots from God’s Word will give us a clue to the incomprehensible nature of God. Though we will not know from this side of heaven all of His marvelous power, we are nonetheless to give our lives to progressively coming to know Him.Read lesson: 1238B

Because He Is

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/17

How big is God? How powerful is God? How wise is He? The issue at stake is “how well do we know our God?” Until we progressively come to see Him as He is, we will live in frustration and fear. However, the more we know of Him, we will also see the magnificent life of victory as we rest in Who He is.Read lesson: 1238A

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas (Story)

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/16

Having a “White Christmas” is more than seeing snowflakes falling on the barren ground. As the Fontaine family found out, Christmas is more than snow, and carols, and lights, and trees, and gift-giving. A truly “White Christmas” comes through the gift of God through Jesus Christ. Through His shed blood on the Cross, we can become “whiter than snow” on the inside. The Fontaines found that Christmas is about a Savior who wants to make a heart that is black with sin as white as snow.Read

To Whom Be Honor

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/15

Once we get a grasp on the Christian life, we often begin to “camp” on one position or another. On the one hand, there are the “doers” in the Body of Christ who determine that if we are to serve as believers, we must get out there and do a work for God. There are others who tune into a surrendered Christian life and are certain that the way to rewards is rest. The achieving of that balance is what this lesson is all about.Read lesson: 1229B

You Can’t Take It with You

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/14

Paul in his letter to Timothy emphasizes that real godliness is characterized by a spirit of contentment. Your real pleasure should come in doing the will of God, not in the things which money can buy. It is the absence of concern over temporal success. The problem most of us face is relative contentment. We would like to be satisfied with our lot in life, but all around us are people who have more of everything. Just how do we develop a life of contentment?Read lesson: 1229A

But Rather Serve Them

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/12

What is a slave to do? The issue is really respecting those in authority, because all authority is given by God. The natural response of man is diametrically opposed to the response that would most glorify God. It does not mean that the Church ignores moral wrongs, but how we conduct ourselves under authority even as we move towards change is of primary importance to God.Read lesson: 1228B

Some Men’s Sins

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/11

Sin is the one word we don’t like to mention. Paul’s warning to Timothy about sin is that “Some men’s sins are evident; other men’s sins follow after them to the judgement.” Don’t try to judge spirituality by popularity or prosperity or even productivity. Most of all, don’t ever be satisfied with the level of purity and transparency in your own heart. It is our sin that separates us from God. Make no mistake about it, we will be judged according to our sins. May we take this time to repent and pray

Double Honor

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/10/09

Paul is dealing with issues concerning the church in 1 Timothy. He seems to miss nothing. His letter even addresses paying the staff of the church. What is Paul talking about when he speaks of honoring our pastor? Does that also include our missionaries? Another matter that Paul brings up in this section of Scripture is that of rebuking an elder or pastor. God gives us practical guidelines on both of these principles. What a fair and just God we have!Read lesson: 1227B
