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:

Let Your Light So Shine

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/18

Light is not a quality, or a creation or a force, it is a Person. Jesus Christ is The Light. If we are to be lights, we are to be inhabited by that Person. The character of light, then, is a reflection of a Person. What will this light do when properly allowed to shine? What happens when we succumb to the curse of becoming hidden light? This is the subject of Jesus’ lesson to His disciples.Read lesson: 980A

Salt from the Steeple

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/18

Salt from the steeple; light from the hill. Two amazing commodities, so simple, so available, so seemingly insignificant that they would be overlooked in man’s scramble for a more complicated formula with which to impress a searching world. Salt from the steeple; light from the hill. Could it really be that simple? If so, then why wasn’t the world transformed in a generation? Jesus clearly explained that as well.Read lesson: 979B

Chasing After Shadows

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/17

The Jews began accusing Jesus of not complying with the law, although it was really only their traditions. The issue of the Sabbath was in question. Was it right to work on the Sabbath, and what constituted work? Was it right to heal on the Sabbath? The Jews had taken the principles of God and turned them into a religious system. Today we might call it legalism. There are several major issues about which we must never compromise, but as a Church we are not to be at odds with our brothers over the

Who Can Forgive Sins?

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/16

A paralytic man is lowered from the roof of a house right in front of Jesus. What will Jesus do? He said to the paralytic, “Take courage young man, your sins are forgiven you.” The scribes and Pharisees among them began to murmur, “Who can forgive sins but God?’ Had Jesus simply said “Rise up and walk”, they would have been satisfied, but only God can forgive sins. Which is more important? The miracle of forgiveness is much more powerful than the miracle of healing. Only God can forgive sin.Read

In Solitary Places

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/14

It is in solitary places that God and man most often conduct business which is eternal. God still does His greatest work when we retire for a time to solitary places. Jesus kept withdrawing to be alone with the Father and once alone, He prayed. Man in our age has no time for the solitary place; no time to recharge the batteries of his spirit away from the drain of daily activities. Jesus had to have it, and now Jesus lives in us. Therefore, He in us demands it, if we are to maintain that level of

They Left Everything (Part 2)

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/14

In part two of this lesson, we will look further at what it means to develop a ministry, and what it means to be a disciple. Jesus teaches us that a successful ministry is one in which the one doing the ministering has no expectations based on his own natural talents or abilities. He has no expectations based on prior performance or the world’s plans. He is simply available to the Master. As he becomes available, he leaves everything to follow Him. His goal is no longer self-motivated, but

They Left Everything (Part 1)

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/13

How did Jesus draw men who would leave everything they had to follow Him? In this lesson we will look at how Jesus drew a crowd, how He designed His facilities, how He developed a ministry and how He defined discipleship. The church of today needs to look at the example of Jesus instead of man’s techniques and man’s technology as the basis for growth. If we lift up the Word of God and teach it without apology, without compromise, without retreating, but with compassion and love, the crowds God wants

Now… I Know

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/12

There are two absolutes that we find all throughout Scripture. They are the universality of sin and the love of God. One requires the other. Without a knowledge of sin, we will never appreciate God’s love. As we look again at the story of the Samaritan woman, there are four truths that become evident concerning our relationship to God. As we examine these truths, we will see that to know about God is not the same as knowing God.Read lesson: 976B

Living Water

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/11

Our Scripture for this lesson is Matthew chapter 4, which is the story of Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well. Our primary reason for this series of lessons is to seek to discern how Jesus behaves in the marketplace of life. Therefore, we must cautiously observe why Jesus went through Samaria, and why Jesus spoke to this woman. See how Jesus used such a common thing as water to begin a conversation of spiritual things. How patient He was and how quietly He moved with the Truth. What is the

Yes, Jesus Loves Me

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/10

As we look once again at the subject of being born again, we see that not only must man be born again, but there must be a perfect sacrifice for this to take place. As we take a look at the most memorized passage in Scripture, John 3:16, we see the awesome love of God. He sent His only Son in our place to take away our sins. Satan says that salvation is a mirage. God just came to Earth to condemn us. The Eternal, Living, Creator God came to Earth for only one reason: to rescue those who were

How Can These Things Be?

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/09

As we look again at the story of Nicodemus, we take a closer look at what it means to be “born again”. Jesus explains that there are clearly two worlds, the world of the flesh and the world of the Spirit. We have all been born of the flesh, but not until we are born of the Spirit can we see God’s kingdom. For a second time, Jesus reveals the miracle of the second birth. Listen as Jesus explains.Read lesson: 975A

Ye Must Be Born Again

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/08

The story of Nicodemus reveals to us just why Jesus came. Nicodemus came to Jesus wanting to know Who He was. But he couldn’t. He did not possess the capability to understand spiritual truth, because he was spiritually dead. So Jesus, rather than tell Nicodemus Who He was, told him what he needed to do to find out. He had to be born again. Find out what it means to be born again and not only to know about God, but really know God.Read lesson: 974B

Overturned Tables

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/07

The message of the overturned tables is, in reality, a singular message. It is that religion is not a business; it is a relationship with the Living God. Whatever business is necessary to define and develop that relationship, God honors. Whatever goes beyond that and becomes self-serving and self-perpetuating God loathes. Thus we see Jesus in the temple demonstrate more righteous indignation than at any other time as He drives the money changers from the temple.Read lesson: 974A

Follow Me

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/05

As Jesus called out His disciples, He said two simple words – “Follow me”. Following means total abandonment of what you intended to become, total abandonment of what you intended to own, total abandonment of what you intended to accomplish. It means death to self. Is Jesus asking you to follow Him today in some area of your life?Read lesson: 973B

Who Are You?

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/05

In this lesson, we will take a look at the life of John the Baptist who knew exactly who he was and Who his Lord was. As people came to John the Baptist, they began looking to him as the Messiah, instead of merely a channel God was using. They saw him as the power source and not just the vessel. Men seek to glory in men; men seek to glory in churches; men seek to glory in systems. Our belief needs to be in the Creator God. Do you acknowledge God’s greatness, but inwardly wonder how God ever managed

All These Things I Will Give You If…

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/03

This lesson takes a close look at the third, perhaps the deadliest, temptation. It is a subtle affront to God. What were “all these things” that Satan had vowed to give Jesus? And what was the catch? See how Satan uses the “Two Kingdom Lie” to try to lure us into his camp.Read lesson: 972B

And the Angels Came

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/03

As we look again at the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, this lesson will center around three statements made in that passage; statements that seem to be central in the unfolding of the layers of truth that are lovingly wrapped around this conflict of the ages. The first of the three statements holds the key to how Satan attacks the child of God. The second holds the key to how God, in man, responds to those attacks. The third holds the key to how a loving Father always ends a

When the Warfare Gets Tough

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/06/02

When the warfare gets tough, God wants to fight for us. Our lesson takes a look at Jesus as He was led into the wilderness and tempted by Satan. His life demonstrates both in the testings of life, and in the battlefields we face daily, how God behaves when He is allowed to be God in us. How does Satan attack us, and how does God respond? As we look at the life of Jesus, we will see the power of God at work, just as that same power can be demonstrated through us who believe.Read lesson: 971B

What does it mean to make Jesus Lord of your life? How does God live in you as He lived in His own Son? Does this mean a life free from suffering? It didn’t for Jesus. Does that mean a life of prosperity? It didn’t for Jesus. Does that mean a life free of persecution? It didn’t for Jesus. It means a life of Spirit-controlled joy in the midst of persecution; a life of Spirit-controlled peace in the midst of suffering. Have you ever surrendered your life to the Lordship of Christ? You cannot live the

Be Still!

Discipleship Tape Ministries ·

2025/05/31

Be still! The very words seem out of place in our society. We have become so busy, we have forgotten our true priority of sitting at the feet of Jesus and realizing Who He is. Until we can learn to be still, we cannot win life’s battles or learn life’s lessons. There are two ways to be still. We can choose to be still, setting aside time to wait on God, or we can be stilled by the circumstances of life until we have no choice. In either case, God wants us to stand still and be still, so that we
