The UnSafe Bible

Why are the “Minor Prophets” called “minor”? As Pastor Ken will clarify in today’s message, it has nothing to do with their weight or value in the grander scope of Scripture. As we begin our study of these rich, theological, and historical texts, we’ll find truths that are just as crucial to our understanding of God and His dealings with Israel as the books of Isaiah, Daniel, or Ezekiel. God inspi...

There is a battle going on at all times for the souls of people. Satan is the enemy that we’re at war with. He is trying to lead people into darkness, and they are following Him blindly. Today, Pastor Ken will encourage you to be engaged in the battle. There are people being led astray. You have the truth that can lead them back to the light. Think of yourself like a soldier on a mission from God,...

Do you have peace? Not just a surface-level absence of hecticness in your life, but do you have peace in the biblical sense? Do you have shalom? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will explain how shalom encompasses so much. When you accept Jesus in your life, He has made peace with you. When you were broken and lost in your sin, He made a way to be reconciled to Him. Even when life seems to be unsett...

We often want to fit God inside a box, don’t we? Maybe it’s that we think we can understand or even control Him that way, but God doesn’t fit in our boxes. We try to keep God in the box of a Sunday morning in our church building. In his message today, Pastor Ken will challenge you to accept that God is so much bigger than Sunday morning. God doesn’t just exist when you go to church, and your worsh...

Can you imagine a life without pain and sorrow? If you find yourself in a city and stop to listen, you’ll hear the buzzing of activity and the persistent wailing of sirens. There’ll be car alarms, fire alarms, ambulance sirens, fire sirens, or police sirens. At times, all those sounds will be combined into a dissonant declaration of brokenness. As Pastor Ken will encourage us in today’s message, G...

Our world has tried to paint religion, and especially Christianity, as antiquated and primitive. If you’re enlightened and educated, you’re expected to write off the mystical, supernatural elements of religion. But, as Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, a worldview without the supernatural disregards centuries of human thought, experience, and historical evidence. This world, with all o...

Have you ever imagined what it would’ve been like to have been born into royalty? We tend to look at the children of royalty as spoiled and rotten, which is often accurate, but it comes out of a sense of unfairness and jealousy. Well, as Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, when you’re born again through Jesus, you become the son or daughter of spiritual royalty. With this status, we don’...

All you must do to receive salvation is confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, an...

When someone is servant-hearted, the question they always ask is “How can I help?” In today’s message, Pastor Ken says we must ask that when thinking of the Lord. How can you serve the Lord better?

There’s nothing more powerful than God’s power in our lives. With just one word, He can change everything. Today, Pastor Ken says God can make salvation happen when we ask. The Bible says ask, and you’ll receive. This doesn’t mean you’ll get everything you ever wanted with the Lord, but what this does mean is that if it’s in God’s will, it’ll be done. God loves you so much that He sent His Son as...

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut of feeling sorry for ourselves, isn’t it? The best way to get out of that rut is to stop focusing on ourselves and turn our eyes to Jesus. Worshipping Him is the answer. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to join with the church in worshiping God. Worship isn’t about what you get out of it. Worship is all about surrendering and blessing God. However,...

Jesus really does emphasize humility a lot, doesn’t he? Humility isn’t putting on a show of seeing ourselves as less than we think we are. It’s seeing ourselves accurately. We can’t do life alone.

If you’ve come to a place where you see that you have nothing to give on your own, that...

His ways are greater. Have you ever tried to make an enemy your friend?...
