The UnSafe Bible

What are the battles that Christians exclusively face? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the battles that we face as Christians. Satan will do everything in His power to throw us off the path of Jesus. Because of this, we need to learn how to point out the voice of the Lord in our everyday lives. There will be things that will seem like it’s from the Lord, but it isn’t. We distinguish these voices by...

Why do we need God? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the necessity of God in our lives. God talks about why we need Him, and it’s because He is perfect. In Jeremiah, the Bible discusses how our hearts are inherently evil because of sin. This sin keeps us separated from God, and we deserve death because of it. But because of the ultimate perfect sacrifice of Jesus, we...

Why is it important for us to look at the text of Revelation and the future of the world? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the importance of recognizing the time that we are in and looking to the world's future. Because Jesus hasn’t returned yet, we are in a time of Grace. We are allowed to place our faith in Christ. We won’t have to endure what lies ahead in Revelati...

How literal is the Bible when it comes to describing Heaven, Hell, and the state of the earth after Jesus returns? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the legitimacy of heaven, hell, and the world after God has returned. Heaven is a real place. God is preparing a place for His followers for when He returns. Hell is also a real place. Hell is for those who refuse to place their trust in God. We were sepa...

Wow, the place that Pastor Ken is describing sounds like a grim and scary place to be. What if I told you that Pastor Ken was describing the Earth once Jesus comes back? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken explores Revelation, and the descriptions of the earth once the period of Tribulation begins. Now, I know I definitely do not want to be on the earth during the tribulation. Thank...

There is no sport where you can be part of both teams that are playing against each other. It would be ludicrous to think that you could play on both sides of a ping-pong table, or that you could decide to play for whichever basketball team is currently winning. Why do we think we can do that spiritually? All throughout the Scriptures, it tells us that you are either with God, or you are not. Past...

It may feel like Satan has been given full authority to control people on earth. But really, his only authority is this: to steal, to kill, and to destroy. His only weapon to accomplish his goal is to lie. The only thing he can do is take the truths of God and twist them into half-truths. Today, Pastor Ken sheds some light on Satan: where he came from, how he operates, and his ultimate demise. He...

Have you ever woken up from a weird dream? Dreams can be so vivid and real that it takes a moment to sort through what really happened and what was just your imagination. Sometimes, reading the book of Revelation can feel a bit like that. It can seem like it's just a weird dream or a crazy metaphor. Today, though, Pastor Ken reminds us that Revelation is a history book: a book of future history. A...

It's hard to deny that there is a Creator while looking at a beautiful sunset. Scripture tells us that part of the job of nature is to point us to God. The sun, moon, and stars all tell us a story of how amazing God is. So in Revelation, when it describes the drastic changes to nature that will take place, that's also to point people to God. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that during the tribulation, o...

The tribulation will be a time of great calamity and sorrow. Revelation clearly describes the difficulties that will arise during that era. There will be death, famine, suffering, and torture beyond what we can imagine. But why would God allow all this to happen? What's the purpose of all that pain? Today, Pastor Ken shows us that all of this will happen in order that people might come to Jesus. E...

Making assumptions is a dangerous habit to get into. It can lead to a lot of misunderstandings, confusion, and maybe even a loss of a friendship or two. Even more dangerous, though, is if you begin to make assumptions about what the Bible says. The book of Revelation can seem incredibly weird and confusing at times. It's easy to begin to assign our own meanings to some of the passages. But today,...

No matter how often a musical piece is practiced, there is always the chance that the wrong note will be played at the wrong time. However, the angels in heaven who have been tasked with blowing the trumpet to announce the end have been practicing for a.....long.....time! This note has been planned and anticipated since the dawn of creation. It won't be played at the wrong time or out of key! In t...

When you think of angels, you probably think of God's helpers, those who protect and guide. But come the last day, these cherubs will become avenging beings. God turns from grace to judgment, and the angels become flame throwers and warriors. Today Pastor Ken explains when the Lord opens the seventh seal, all of heaven takes notice. The angles have been prepared for this time. They know it's part...

Have you heard the phrase, the calm before the storm? In today's lesson with Pastor Ken, you'll see something similar will happen before the day of reckoning. Silence, in the book of Revelation, is followed by judgment. God will bring His decision, and all will fall silent before His throne. This event can't be missed. Christ's people will be spared this final proclamation; the wicked and those wh...

When I mention the select 144,000 of Revelation, your mind thinks of some things you've heard about these people. Some religions claim these are the cream of the crop, chosen because of their deeds on earth. But as you'll hear in today's message with Pastor Ken, these individuals are never referred to as 'the church.' 'The church' is another way of describing Christ's followers, his bride. If thes...

The Apostle Paul details several angels partaking in the events of the end days, as found in Revelation. God sends these angels to complete a task. In today's lesson with Pastor Ken, you'll see there will be times when the angels bring protection and peace amid death and destruction. Parts of the earth will be consumed with fire, while other areas experience protection by the angels. The Lord's ju...

Angels and divine beings are part of God's creation. They, like us, are created for a purpose. God guides and directs the angels to perform tasks and jobs. Today Pastor Ken shares how God has given his earthly children unique talents designed to advance His kingdom on Earth. The Bible details several spiritual gifts, but these lists are not exhaustive. For example, an auto mechanic is not listed a...

People often like to pick and choose what scripture they want to read rather than giving equal attention to every book. Trust me, I get it, some of the books are tougher to understand than others. You may think that Revelation is one not to worry about because surely it won’t happen in your lifetime. Well, I’d encourage you to think again and consider the way that current events are lining up with...

I bet that you weren’t expecting to learn about string theory today. As scientists and mathematicians learn more about the way that God has ordered the universe, it reveals more beauty and strikes awe at the grandness of God and his creation. In the book of Revelation, we are told of unexplainable things happening. But are they really without a possible explanation? In today's message, Pastor Ken...

The book of Revelation is one that often can leave you with more questions than answers. One of the big questions is whether or not many of the events described are to be taken literally or as a metaphor. For example, will the anti-Christ really have supernatural power? How about, is the sky really going to be rolled up like a scroll? If you’ve ever wondered about these things, then you don’t want...

When you think about people coming to know Christ, have you ever considered those left on earth after the rapture begins? Interestingly enough, The book of Revelation talks about what will happen to those left behind. It says that many will be saved even after the rapture has begun. Unfortunately, in light of the persecution that will take place, it will cost them their lives. Pastor Ken will cont...

Do you like sci-fi movies? How about the movies that take place as the world is ending? You know, the ones with the Mt Everest-sized tsunami…or the ones with the storm that causes the next ice age. What they usually all have in common is bad acting and a low production budget. Well, on a more serious note, the Bible tells us what the end of time will be like. In today's message, Pastor Ken will co...

The idea of thousands of divine beings rebelling against God is hard to imagine. The book of Revelation gives us insight into the reality of the spiritual realm that we cannot see. If you think it’s a bunch of babies with angel wings, well…think again. While Revelation is chalked full of unique and otherworldly imagery, it also tells us what the end of time will be like. In today’s message, Pastor...

If you’ve been traveling with us through the book of Revelation, you know it’s really heavy. There’s so much suffering and hardship in store for this world. But through all this darkness, the light of God will shine even brighter. The good news is that Jesus came to rescue you from your brokenness, and sin pierces the dark to give you hope and a future. In today’s message, Pastor Ken urges you to...

Eternal life without God isn’t a joyride. It’s not some great party where you can live it up and do whatever you want. It’s dark and painful. Separation from God for all time will be agonizing. And that’s why Pastor Ken is reminding you today that there’s another way. You can follow Jesus, give Him your heart, and ask Him to forgive you for the ways you’ve messed up. He loves you and died on the c...
