The UnSafe Bible

Have you ever put together a piece of furniture without looking at the instructions? Sometimes the assembly is intuitive enough that you can get away with it, but often it leads to frustration. You get to assemble the furniture twice: once the hard way, and once the easy way. The same is true in life. Although we've been given an instruction manual on how to live, many choose to try it their own w...

Today Pastor Ken points out that when science trumps creation, we no longer are an image bearer of the Lord. Replacing creation with evolution means you evolved from an amoeba. So you are an animal, no better than a skunk. But when you hold true to the fact the world and everything in it was created, you can find purpose and meaning. Jesus accepted everything written in the Lord's book as good and...

The church at Laodicea is like a lot of people today. They forgot who God truly was. Today Pastor Ken shares in his message today, God is who He says He is in His word. You can't pick and choose what characteristics listed in the Bible are true. True Christianity isn't describing your ideal situations and only accepting those truths as you believe.

Having a finite brain is like trying to understand another culture without experiencing its customs or traditions. You cannot comprehend how this culture operates with the information you have available. Likewise, as Pastor Ken explains in today's study, it's hard to understand the Trinity, the character of Christ, or why bad things happen to good people with the limited knowledge we have in our c...

What if you could go through life without ever taking a test? No spelling test in elementary school, skip driver's ED test, never being tested on the date your mom was born. There is one test you'll never be asked to take if you believe in Christ. Today Pastor Ken shares how heaven dwellers, also known as believers in Christ, will be spared the test of deliverance. The great tribulation will only...

God has given everyone free will. The option to decide for themselves what they believe. The choice to obey or sin. To follow His path for their life, or pick fleshly desires. Perhaps the most important decision, to bow down and worship Christ as Savior, can be made now, or after all, hell breaks loose. In today's message with Pastor Ken, you'll see that everyone, even the demons, will eventually...

The world doesn’t need the Church to accommodate them in their sin. It’d be like a surgeon telling a cancer patient that the mass is just part of them and that it’s not their place to remove it. All men and women are born with spiritual cancer. We’re born with sin and selfishness in our hearts, and they will destroy and separate us from God. As Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, in Chri...

Believing Jesus is the only way to Heaven is very narrow-minded and exclusive. But, as His Creation, who are we to argue? He didn’t have to make anyway to be made right with God. God could have simply wiped us out for our prideful rebellion against Him, but He loves us too much to end it that way. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, despite the enemy’s attempt to paint us as an unloving...

God doesn’t call you based on your qualifications. That may feel disappointing or insulting, but God doesn’t need what we have to offer. He’s the one who gave us our gifts and talents – He has access to anything He needs. So why does He call us and desire to use us? As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, God delights in using the weak and unqualified to draw people to Himself. He loves us...

Think about the story of Jesus feeding five thousand plus people with 5 loaves and 2 fish - it was a great miracle at that moment, meeting a real need for that hungry crowd, but it also offers a great illustration of how God works with each one of us. As Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, we have very little to offer God. Our gifts and talents are nothing compared to the problem we face...

God can do anything He wants – but He chooses not to. He could have made us all like robots, programmed to do His will with no autonomy, but He knew that love required choice. We must choose to love Him and obey Him. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message when we make that choice to lay ourselves down and serve our Savior out of gratitude, God will work in and through us, in ways, we could...

When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you become a temple of the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that led the Israelites with a cloud and a pillar of fire, who came upon the one hundred and twenty in the Upper Room, and who has led numerous men and women through the centuries – lives in you. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will remind us of this fact and challenge us to remember it as we go throu...

The letters we find in the book of Revelation reveal aspects of who Jesus is. When He ascended to Heaven to sit by His Father after His physical earthly ministry, His spiritual ministry continued. He sent His Spirit to reveal Himself to men, as well as specifically working in the authors of Scripture – like John – to reveal His nature and prophetic visions of His second coming. In today’s message,...

As we continue our study of the book of Revelation, context plays an important role in our understanding of the letters written to the various Churches. Today, Pastor Ken will take a close look at the history of the ancient city of Philadelphia – a city shaken by earthquakes and living in nearly constant fear of them. They couldn’t trust the structures of man to protect them and many lived in the...

Have you ever considered where you’ll be after this life? Have you ever felt sure of what your eternity will be? Today in his message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that if you want to be sure of a glorious life in heaven’s eternity, you need to seek after Jesus. He is the only way to be truly saved. Surrender yourself to Him and be sure of your stake in His kingdom. When you give your life to Chri...

Whether you’re a Christian or not, one of the most difficult things to do is love others regardless of who they are or what they’ve done. It’s easy when it’s someone we love, but what happens when it’s someone that we dislike? Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to show self-sacrificial love to everyone around you. It will never be easy and that’s why you need to give it all to Jesus...

Have you ever felt perfect? Have you ever felt like absolutely nothing in your life is going wrong? It’s safe to say that the answer is probably no. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that no one is perfect and Jesus is here to save you from yourself. You will never be able to clean yourself up on your own, let Him do a miraculous work in your life. Don’t continue to walk in your mis...

In our culture, many people believe that if you’re a “good” person, you will be saved. They believe that you can save yourself by doing all of the right things and attending a church, but this couldn’t be farther from God’s plan for your life. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the only way to claim your stake in God’s kingdom is by surrendering yourself to Him. There is nothing you can do t...

Have you ever felt pressured by culture to change who you are? Have you ever bent on what you know is right because of what people tell you should be done? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you can’t let your beliefs be worn down by the world. The enemy will always tempt you and try to make you change your beliefs—don’t let him in. The worldly pressures will never stop and Jesu...

In our current culture, it’s easy to get sucked into the trends and lose sight of what you truly believe in. We’re constantly being told what’s right and wrong and sometimes we don’t know where to turn. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to keep a watchful eye for false teachings. It abounds everywhere and the only way to stay true to what God wants for your life is to go to His wor...

Are you seeing a revival in the body of believers around you? In today's message from Pastor Ken, he shares with you the importance of Christians continuing to have a humble stance before the Lord. God despises the proud but will extend grace to the humble. Pastor Ken explains that God desires for His people to humble themselves before Him. When Christians have the posture of humility and repentan...

Just because a church has a reputation, doesn't mean it's still alive. As you listen to today's message from Pastor Ken, he teaches you that many congregations who once were thriving and bearing a lot of fruit could be now totally dead. Their body could no longer be teaching the Word of God or displaying any real evidence that they follow Jesus currently. Pastor Ken encourages you, to always look...

Do you find it hard to be a Christian when you’re surrounded by people who are not? Do you see a difference in how you live your life compared to how they live theirs? The truth is that, as believers, we should feel some tension and see a difference between the way that the world lives and the way that God calls us to live. In today's message, Pastor Ken will help you identify ways that culture is...

Most people will agree that cheating in a relationship is a pretty terrible thing to do. If you’ve been on either end of it, you know how bad it feels. If you’re a Christian, God considers you the bride of Christ. To honor your vows, God wants you to be fully committed to him. You probably know how hard that can be. In today's message, Pastor Ken will help you identify some deceptive compromises t...

The Bible says that there are false prophets and teachers. They will claim to be teaching God's word but are leading God's people into darkness. A good example is certain televangelists who promise blessings for your money. While some are obvious, others are more difficult to detect. The good news is that we have access to God's perfect word in the form of the Bible. In today's message, Pastor Ken...
