The UnSafe Bible

You make thousands of choices every day. From the moment you’re conscious in the morning to the time you close your eyes at night, you’re making decisions about what you’ll do or not do. Pastor Ken talks about the most crucial decision you will ever make today. It’s the question that everyone must answer at some point: Will you turn to Jesus, admit your brokenness, and ask Him to cover your sins?...

Peace seems like a pipe dream these days. There’s a new conflict in the news every time you turn around. As you’ll see in today’s passage, the current unrest is nothing compared to what will happen before the Lord returns to usher in His Kingdom. Pastor Ken explains how God will give the rider on the red horse the authority to remove peace from the world. Everything from your family to global rela...

You’ve heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing before. It’s the idea that something dangerous is disguised as harmless or beneficial. Well, that’s how you could describe how Satan will present himself during the end. Pastor Ken shares that Satan will appear on a white horse like Jesus, offering people false peace and security. His disguise will trick people for a while, but eventually, he’ll show his...

There’s so much in the book of Revelation that seems pretty. It’s full of descriptions that you may find crazy or hard to understand. Pastor Ken wants to help you better grasp what’s happening in this section of Revelation. He points out the connections between what will happen in the end and things that have already happened in the Old Testament. You’ll see how the spiraling sevens described when...

Movies may depict it, but can you imagine what it would be like if millions of people disappeared instantly? In today’s edition of The UnSafe Bible, Pastor Ken invites you to think about what could happen when God’s people are taken out of this world in the church's rapture. He walks you through some of the ways this might affect daily life. From health care to food to government to relationships-...

God has an enemy. His name is Satan, and he wants to destroy everything God loves. That means you’re on his list. Satan’s goal is to steal, kill, and beat in any way he can. He uses tricks and lies to get you to follow his practices instead of God’s. You see, that’s precisely what happens during the end times. The Apostle Paul tells us that Satan comes masquerading as a good guy, as someone like J...

Have you ever been a part of a conversation where everyone else was talking about something you didn’t know anything about? Maybe they were discussing a shared experience, a situation at work, or people you don’t know. It was probably hard to follow along. Today, Pastor Ken explains that something similar happens when we try to understand what’s going on in today’s passage. He encourages you to pu...

Differences and distinctions are on a lot of people’s minds lately. It’s a hot topic. There’s so much floating around about how people are different that it’s easy to lose sight of how we’re the same. Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that there’s unity in the Lord. When you admit how you’ve missed the mark and ask Jesus to rescue you, you are welcomed into a beautifully diverse and unique family. Bec...

Waiting is hard sometimes. But doesn’t it feel amazing when the waiting is finally over? Sometimes, the joy you feel in those moments bubbles out of you. That’s precisely what Pastor Ken describes in today’s teaching. This planet and everything in it has been broken for a very long time, waiting until the day the Lord would make it new. And won’t that be a glorious day? You’ll see how the earth an...

The Bible was written over hundreds of years by many different people doesn’t take away from its harmony. That’s because the Spirit of God was inspiring every word those people wrote down. Pastor Ken points out in today's message how John, the author of the book of Revelation, ties the Old Testament description of the Lion of Judah to the New Testament imagery of the Lamb of God. You’ll see how th...

Has there ever been a point in your life where you knew nothing would be the same again? It could be the birth of your first child, getting married, or the beginning of your faith in Jesus. After an incredible event like that, you could never live the same. In history, Jesus' death marks a tipping point. Life could never be the same. Pastor Ken shows us today that Jesus' death was the death needed...

How well do you handle pressure? While coal thrives under pressure and becomes a diamond, a flower is obliterated and crushed. While on earth, Jesus was under immense pressure. The redemption of all humanity that had ever existed and ever would exist depended on his death and resurrection. As Pastor Ken shows us today though, he could handle the pressure. He was the only one who could do it. There...

When you buy someone a gift, are you good at keeping it a secret, or do you let the cat out of the bag with your own excitement? Gifts are great at stirring up anticipation for both the giver and the receiver. Today, Pastor Ken teaches us that God has something that stirs up great anticipation in Jesus. The scroll in God's right hand holds all the details about the end times, something that Jesus...

Do you ever take for granted the fact that you live in the 21st century? Electricity, plumbing, cars, internet, and heating are all things that weren't enjoyed by our ancestors. Spiritually speaking, you shouldn't take for granted that you live in the church age. Today Pastor Ken reminds us that we have an incredible advantage that those in the Old Testament did not have: access to God. Whenever a...

How would you describe color to someone who was born blind? Could you show a deaf person what the sound of the wind in the trees is like? How could you describe the glory of God to someone who has never seen it? This was the situation John found himself in. He was tasked to write down his experience in a way that those who had never seen it would understand. As Pastor Ken teaches us today, digging...

The Old and New Testaments are both needed to get the full picture of God's story of redemption. To ignore one in favor of the other is to miss out on insights and revelations about God and his love. As Pastor Ken looks at the book of Revelation today, there are many similarities to the Old Testament prophets and the visions that God gave them. John sees the same things that they saw but in more d...

What is the most awe-inspiring sight you have ever seen? An epic sunset? An amazing mountain view? Your spouse on your wedding day? As beautiful as all of those things are, they won't compare to the sight of God on his throne. Today Pastor Ken teaches that it won't just be an amazing sight, it's also a picture of his sovereignty and deity. This throne carries all the dominion and power of the enti...

Can you wrap your head around the concept that God has always existed? Probably not, and that's because God doesn't exist on our timeline. The way God sees time is altogether different from how we perceive it. Here in the book of Revelation, Pastor Ken shows us the mind-boggling time travel that John went through to receive his revelation from Jesus. We may think this is only possible in science f...

Have you ever seen a football player almost make it to the end zone, but they start celebrating too soon and get tackled? Or a marathon runner that ran an incredible time, but slowed at the finish line and took second instead? You can play a great game and run a great race and blow it all in the last few feet. We can do the same spiritually. Pastor Ken reminds us today that it's important to finis...

Nature takes the path of least resistance, and that path is always toward destruction. If you leave a piece of fruit on the counter too long, it becomes rotten. The longer a house stands, the more dilapidated it becomes. When left to their own devices, things don't get better, they slowly decay. Human beings are no different. Today Pastor Ken shows us this pattern is evident in the church as well....

When you're planning a road trip, you often have a few choices on how to get to your destination. Do you choose the shortest time, the shortest distance, or the route without tolls? Or do you pick the scenic route? Ultimately, it doesn't really matter, you will still arrive at the same destination. But as Pastor Ken teaches today, you can't have the same approach to eternal life. Spiritually speak...

Things often seem backward in the kingdom of God. Jesus said that the last would be first and the first would be last. Those who lose their lives are the ones who live. He also made it clear that those who were ahead financially were not necessarily ahead spiritually. The church at Laodicea didn't understand this concept. They were a rich congregation, able to afford whatever they wanted. They tho...

You don't have to be a college graduate to be used by God. You don't have to earn a certain amount or have a minimum number of Instagram followers. You don't have to look trendy or come from a background of religious influence. The world might look to those things to measure your success, but God looks at the heart. In some cases, like the church in Laodicea, those worldly advantages might actuall...

Talking the talk doesn't mean much without walking the walk. You can claim to be whatever you want, but if your actions don't back it up, it's meaningless. This is especially dangerous when it comes to Christianity. It's not just your reputation with others that you need to be aware of, it's your reputation with Jesus himself. As Pastor Ken shows us today, if you only talk the talk, Jesus will spi...

Have you ever done something good, but you did it with the wrong intentions? Maybe you helped a widow, but it was really just to get a pat on the back. Or have you ever been nice to someone because you had something to gain from them? With Jesus, it's not enough to just do good things. He will also judge you based on why you did those things. As Pastor Ken teaches us today, it's not enough to put...
