The UnSafe Bible

How do you feel about words of encouragement? How about constructive criticism or reprimand? Both can be a healthy thing for all of us to experience. Especially in regard to sin and our relationship with Jesus. Pastor Ken tells us in his message today, as it says in Ezekiel, it’s like the thorn in our side that will be pulled out by none other than God Himself. Just like He did for Israel. The tho...

We’ve learned what essentially turned Satan into Satan. He no longer worshiped and recognized the glory of God. He wanted that for himself. He deceived many with his flashy lies. Do you find yourself falling victim to his ways? I don’t blame you, he’s a pro at distorting and destroying. In his message today, Pastor Ken explains the consequences of Satan’s decisions and actions. Believer, you have...

Have you ever thought of the Devil as being irresistibly shiny and beautiful, like something out of a fairy tale? Me either. And yet, we hear from Pastor Ken’s message today about Satan looking like that. That’s a far cry from the commonly known image of a pitchfork. Friends, Satan had it made in Heaven with God, but something happened…obviously. And he was thrown out. Did you know that Satan conv...

Jealousy can eat away at us like ants in a bowl of sugar. Before we know it, our choices are influenced, and maybe even what we do changes because of it. I wonder how much of this played a part in Satan’s dismissal. You see, he didn’t like seeing his position given to mankind. It made him start to think he was better. Better than God. That’s where we have to be careful as well because it’s too eas...

Would you say that everything has a starting point? Through Pastor Ken’s message today we learn the surprising start of Satan’s downfall. Yes, that’s what I said. He wasn’t always ‘bad’. He started out in God’s throne room in heaven. Praising, worshiping, and leading other angels to do the same. This account of the Devil’s descent didn’t end well but caused grief…to God. So much so that the writer...

Have you ever caught yourself being prideful? Today, Pastor Ken talks about how God hates pride. It's an attitude that places ourselves above others and even above God. It can blind you to your own flaws and keep you from recognizing your need for Him. God loves you deeply, but pride can create a barrier between you and Him. To walk in His light, you must set aside your pride, acknowledge your wea...

Have you ever wondered why we, as imperfect beings, cannot be in the same place as the divine Creator? In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains it’s because of sin we cannot be in the same place as God. Sin, the choices that separate us from God, has been a part of human nature since the beginning. But, God's love for you is so immense that He couldn't bear to be apart from you. So, He made the ult...

In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's crucial to find our source of Jesus in the right place. In today's message, Pastor Ken challenges us to get our source of Jesus from the Bible alone. The Bible, the timeless word of God, is your spiritual anchor. It contains the teachings and wisdom of Jesus that can illuminate our path and lead us toward a deeper, more meaningful relationship wi...

Life is a journey of choices. We're blessed with a gift that sets us apart from all creation – free will. In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how it's our decision whether to follow the path of righteousness or to disobey the Lord. In this world, we face countless temptations and distractions, each tugging at the strings of our hearts. But let's not forget that it's our own choices that lea...

Life can be a complex journey, full of choices, challenges, and moments of triumph and trial. Today, Pastor Ken reminds us through today’s message that you mess up and fall into sin. We're all human, prone to make mistakes, and occasionally, we may lose our way. At times, we might find ourselves entangled in the consequences of our choices. Sometimes, God will allow this to show you why you need H...

Have you ever thought about the battle that has been going on since the beginning of time? In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how the Devil is trying to keep Jesus from taking back Earth. But, as you may know, Jesus will prevail. You must hold onto the unshakable belief that Jesus will win. His power, His love, and His message of hope will prevail, no matter how fierce the opposition. No m...

In today’s message, Pastor Ken visits the Book of Revelation and makes comparisons to the city of Babylon that has yet to come and the nation of Tyre. In the Book of Ezekiel, the nation of Tyre was one of a few nations who plotted against God and suffered their inevitable defeat. But Pastor Ken dissects the comparisons the two cities will have. And just like the destruction of Tyre, the city of Ba...

In the Book of Ezekiel, many events and prophecies that occurred are seen at various other points in the Bible. One correlation was the destruction of Tyre. Tyre was a nation that conspired against God’s plans and ultimately saw their demise. The correlation was to the nation of Babylon in the Book of Revelation and its inevitable destruction. In today’s message, Pastor Ken informs us that we are...

Isn’t it unbelievable that we’re still discovering things from the Bible in our times? The Bible is not only the Word of God but a history of what the world was like. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells us that our discoveries of ancient lost cities and relics of the past line up with what the Bible teaches. The Bible is the oldest written peace of documented History humanity has ever had. And wh...

Do you have doubts about God? We see time and time again that there were many tribes and cities in the Bible that doubted and tested the God of Abraham. But our God isn’t a God of empty promises when He says something. When God speaks to us, great things happen. God spoke judgment into the city of Tyre, and their enemies destroyed them. And in today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you that God isn’t...

We live in a world with many parallels to what the Book of Revelation says would happen. But what’s crazy is how much the Old Testament would prophesize what would occur in the Book of Revelation and our times NOW. In today’s message, Pastor Ken takes us through the Book of Ezekiel and reminds us that the things they went through in the Old Testament are relative to what’s happening in our times....

The Book of Luke talks about one verse regarded as the golden rule in the Bible. Luke 6:31 says to treat others the way you want to be treated. As Christians, we should treat others with the same aforethought we desire in all areas of our lives. Including those we do business with. But as we know, only some have the same motives and morals we do. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Ken warns us...

Satan is the prince of lies. As much as we like to think we’re above his deception, we often underestimate just how pervasive it is. It’s not just the large-scale falsehoods that are peddled to the public by branches of the media. These lies can sneak their way into our lives in much more subtle ways. As Pastor Ken continues our study of the book of Ezekiel in today’s message, he’ll remind us that...

The fight between Palestine and Israel is rooted much deeper than the land. Every war or dispute in history in fact has deeper roots than the surface-level disagreements that led to fighting. As Pastor Ken continues our study of the book of Ezekiel in today’s message, he’ll remind us that there’s an ongoing war that began long ago, even before man fell into sin. Satan hates God and is jealous of H...

If you ever find yourself frustrated as you watch injustice play out in this world, you can find hope as we study the book of Ezekiel. Our God is just - He invented the entire concept of justice and placed a desire in our hearts for it. As Pastor Ken examines the lands surrounding Israel and the prophecies concerning them, we’ll be reminded that ultimately justice is going to be served to those wh...

It requires faith to read Scripture and find hope in the promises and concepts it presents. But, as we continue our study of the book of Ezekiel with Pastor Ken, we find evidence of the truth this book contains. The prophets of Scripture weren’t just making educated guesses. As we read the pages of this book, we find that its descriptions of future events are extremely accurate. Some we can look b...

In today’s message, as Pastor Ken continues our study of the fascinating book of Ezekiel, we’ll examine the prophecy and events concerning the nations surrounding Israel in his time. Throughout Scripture we find God revealing glimpses of future events to humans and sure enough, we can examine the history of Israel and the world as a whole, and find that His revelations come true. We can see our Go...

In today’s message, Pastor Ken will provide listeners with valuable context, as it relates to Israel’s birth as a nation, the countries surrounding Israel, and how it all connects - according to God’s will. The Old Testament is loaded with lessons that can be applied to our lives today. Most involve Israel, but like its neighbors, the Lord had very clear messages that we can learn from. Would thos...

Much of the Middle East as we know it, the existing nations, the land, and even the relations, can all be traced back to Old Testament Scripture. In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken highlights the origin of Israel’s surrounding neighbors, and provides valuable notes for us to consider, as we witness the future unfold. We trust that God is in control of every detail in that region of the world, and His...

Why did God pick Israel as His chosen people, and why didn’t He choose any of the surrounding nations? Today, Pastor Ken will explore the history that led to the rise of Israel, and teach listeners about some of its neighboring countries. It is fascinating to witness God’s hand at work in that region of the world - from before Christ, and even now. May we never be too blinded by the distractions i...
