A Faith That Works When Life Doesn’t 10•22•25

In this message, Apostle Kelley walks through James 5 to show how real faith is not just active faith but also patient faith. There are seasons when the most courageous move is to stay still, stay grounded, and trust that God is working behind the scenes. Using James’ call to patience, the sermon explores three core questions that shape our spiritual maturity. When is waiting an act of faith? What should we keep in mind while we wait? And how do we trust God when life insists on delaying the answers we want? Apostle Kelley explains that patience becomes worship when circumstances are uncontrollable and when speaking truth becomes unpopular.

The teaching closes with a reminder that God never wastes a delay. The farmer who waits for rain, the prophets who endured hardship, and Job who held on through suffering all point to a faith that works even when life does not. Apostle Kelley reminds listeners that patience is not passivity. It is a choice to trust God’s timing, God’s character, and God’s promise that the story is not over.
