The UnSafe Bible

How can you make up for your sins? What would it take? On a surface level, you may think it’s possible… Have you really done anything that bad? But God is wholly perfect and glorious beyond any measurement. He designed us to reflect that perfect image and to serve Him in every thought and deed. The instant you even think a selfish thought, the separation between you and what He designed you for be...

Our culture, through the influence of the theory of evolution, has embraced the idea that humans are animals. When sin is allowed to rule our hearts and our greed, lust, and anger are given the reigns, it does crowd out and shut down the sense of right and wrong and the desire for the truth of God. In essence, we allow an animalistic nature to take hold. As Pastor Ken will point out today, this is...

Going to church occasionally or on a weekly basis doesn’t make you a Christ follower. In our culture, this is normal. While Christianity has declined in popularity, there is still a large portion of our society that attends church on a regular basis and subscribes to similar values as the Church. But, as Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, that isn’t enough. While Christ will change your...

There’s nothing new under the sun… the sins our culture subscribes to on a massive scale, as well as the intimate, private transgressions of each individual heart, are just copies of the behaviors that have plagued us since the fall in the Garden. As Pastor Ken continues our examination of Isaiah, we’ll be reminded that there’s nothing clever or unique about the form our rebellion takes today. The...

Our world is full of lost people. Many have heard renditions of the Gospel, but their hearts remain in the grasp of sin and deception. They’re on a road to destruction, but in this life, we shouldn’t expect them to live a life that honors God when they’ve chosen to reject Him. As Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, sadly, there are many who have claimed Christianity, accepting that Jesus...

There are people in our world today who argue that Jesus was a wise, kind teacher who clearly made a big impact in our world – but that He never claimed to be God. As Pastor Ken continues our study in the book of Isaiah, he’ll draw our attention to an important reference Jesus made connecting right back to today’s passage. In our culture, the connection is easy to miss, but the people of that time...

There’s a long history of humanity trying to earn God’s favor. Pharisees believed salvation came from keeping every command. Catholicism believed you could purchase pardons for sins to make Him happy. Some religions even promote doing specific deeds to achieve enlightenment. Maybe you’ve been taught that God won’t love you unless you do X, Y, or Z. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that this couldn’t be f...

Have you ever been scammed? Ever been emailed by a Nigerian prince trying to offer you a large sum of money for a bit of private information? Do you get those pesky texts or calls trying to deceive you into paying money for a service you’ll never receive? Today, Pastor Ken teaches that humans are naturally deceptive. We take the beautiful gift of intellect and creativity, and twist it into somethi...

Life is pretty tough, isn’t it? Sometimes, we can get caught up in the coming and going, that we forget to breathe. We work ourselves to death, and our mental capacity is so low when hardships hit, that we don’t know how to handle them. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that you may be wondering why God isn’t answering any prayers. The question should really be, “How’s your prayer life?” Are you walking w...

So… if Jesus didn’t come to improve us, enhance us, or make us bigger, better, or more successful… then why did He come? Many people approach Christianity and the church as a method of self-validation. However, in today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that Jesus didn’t come just to make you feel good about yourself. He came so that you could be forgiven of all of those regrets and mistakes in your p...

One of the hardest things employers have to face during a hire is deciding between two candidates, especially when one is favorable in soft skills, and one is favorable in technical skills. Oftentimes, certain positions just need the right technical know-how, and personality comes second. In many cases, the right candidate for the job is the one who fits within the team’s culture. Today, Pastor Ke...

Have you ever had to drag your kids out to an event that you went through the trouble of setting up and paying for… something designed for them that you have little to no interest in… and they don’t even want to be there? That can be extremely frustrating, especially when you know how much fun they could have. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that God has prepared a place for you, and wants you to want t...

What a big promise God gives us! What a wonderful, gracious God who would allow someone like me, and someone like you to live with Him forever. Paul teaches in Romans that no one is good. We’ve all messed up, and we fall short of God’s glory daily… but Pastor Ken teaches in today’s message that the biggest mistake you can make is hearing about the grace of God, and saying you don’t want it. You ha...

Everyone has regrets in their life. You may have regrets about things you never did, like getting that degree. Or maybe you have regrets about things you did do, like sending that text. Today, Pastor Ken has some good news for you. Despite this, God still loves you. No matter how much you’ve messed up, God still wants to spend eternity with you. Your life isn’t defined by the mistakes you’ve made,...

Did you have any coaches in school who really knew how to strike fear into the players? Maybe it was that yelling football coach whose neck veins nearly stuck out further than his ears. Maybe it was the composed basketball coach who called for one more lap than the players could muster. Perhaps it wasn’t a coach at all, but rather a parent or drill sergeant. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will cha...

In today’s message, you will learn that the ancient peoples of Israel and Judah made offerings to nature. In fact, you’ll learn that even some Jews chose to worship the creation over the creator. Modern scientists will try to convince you that you are just a collection of atoms that just happened to stick together, and nothing more. However, Pastor Ken will remind you that you were made in the ima...

There is power in specific word choice. There’s a reason that many political agendas are adamant about the language they choose to use. For instance, one side may call it abortion while the other may call it reproductive rights. The use of language in politics is designed to rally people behind an idea. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that for many people today, this specific language is of...

If anyone has ever told you that the Christian walk is easy and that it’s a walk in the park… well, I hate to break it to you, but they lied. Sure, life will have its easy moments, but for Christians, social or physical persecution should be expected. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that this isn’t new. The Israelites faced ridicule as well, time after time. However, remember that when they...

What do you do when the ways of the world start to creep into every aspect of your life? What do you do when you’re the only one in the room who hasn’t watched that show or heard that song? What do you do when your job responsibilities conflict with your Christian worldview? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that there are three approaches you can take. You can either submit to the world’s te...

Parents’ least favorite part of the job is disciplining their child. We all like to believe that our children are perfect angels who could never do anything wrong, but we often forget that they’re just as prone to mistakes as us, if not more so, due to their lack of knowledge. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that when Israel acted as a disobedient child, God had to discipline them. The same...

You may believe that for you to serve God, you must possess a certain level of maturity and wisdom. You may believe you are an ordinary person who cannot serve the Lord. But do you know what the Bible says about this? Today, Pastor Ken shows how God utilizes the weak to bring glory to His Kingdom. Even if you believe that you're useless to God, you can be certain that He will use you for His purpo...

Fear can often play a significant role in our religion. Others may tell you that attaining salvation is necessary in order to enter heaven and avoid eternal damnation in hell. This may lead you to become a follower of Jesus. But is it the way you should see Christ? Today, Pastor Ken explains what your relationship with Jesus should be like. You must see Christ for who He truly is. He's the one who...

No matter how hard you try, you will understand that living a perfect and holy life is impossible. There will always be shortcomings in your life. Do you know why? In today's message, Pastor Ken defines sinful nature. It compels you to sin and fall short of God and your own standards. The only way to overcome your temptations is to accept Jesus into your heart and seek the Holy Spirit. He can help...

You may often meet individuals who are in a difficult situation. They could be physically or emotionally depleted and fatigued. No amount of pity can help them. But do you know how you, as a follower of Christ, can help others in need? In today's message, Pastor Ken emphasizes why you should start sharing God's Word with others around you. When you share your personal experiences, you can encourag...

We all work for specific reasons. It could be to support and provide for our families, or it could be to reach certain goals that we have set for ourselves. But how often have you considered serving God through your job? In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains how you can receive eternal rewards from God. When your ultimate objective is to serve God, even through your career, Jesus begins to work...
