The UnSafe Bible

That may sound overly pessimistic, but it’s true. It’s what you’ll find when you faithfully step into God’s will for your life. We live in a broken world that’s going to resist the radical love and grace that we’re called to walk in. But, as Pastor Ken will encourage us in today’s message, that’s not the whole story. We already know how this all ends for us: in victory. Thanks to Jesus’ work on th...

Pastor Ken will teach today about this question, “Who do you say that Jesus is? At the end of the day, this is the only question that matters. Do you believe that Jesus is who He says He is? Tragically, throughout Jesus' ministry, the religious leaders considered Him a heretic and a false teacher. But His death and resurrection prove that He was and is the Messiah! The time to cast aside your burd...

It feels like everywhere you look today, you see the taint of sin. Wars, starvation, wicked sexuality, murder, disease, corruption, and the list goes on and on. Even worse, so many people are being led astray by false teaching and the devil's lies. Today, Pastor Ken will plead for you to stand firm on the truth of the Bible and never let your love for Jesus grow cold. The only antidote for the poi...

If you're a Christian, you're a soldier. Every day, Jesus calls you to pick up your weapons and armor, and to fight for holiness. Satan knows that the day is coming when he and his forces will be utterly destroyed by the true King. However, his goal is to bring down as many people as possible before that day arrives. Today, Pastor Ken will challenge you to wage war against the sin in your life, an...

Lying, like any sin, is dangerous because it gets much easier the more you do it. One of Satan's main strategies is to whisper in your ear that compromising is okay and harmless. Before you know it, you're sinning in a way that you never would have even considered - earlier in your walk with God. Today, Pastor Ken will show you that the answer to the devil's traps is Jesus. While Satan and the sin...

Is there anything like a wedding? The bride walking down the aisle in white, the first kiss as husband and wife, the heartfelt toasts, and then the dining and dancing that follows. And at the end of the night, the couple is sent off in a flurry of applause. It’s a joyful celebration of the beginning of a new life together. Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that as a Christian, you already hold an invi...

Have you ever longed for something deeply—a graduation day, a long-awaited vacation, a dream job, a spouse, maybe even a child? As meaningful as those hopes are, Pastor Ken reminds you today of a far greater one: the Messiah. In the Old Testament, believers looked ahead to His first coming and the salvation He would bring. Now that Jesus has come, our hope is fixed on His return—His triumphant sec...

Have you ever thought you really knew someone—until you saw them in a completely different setting and discovered a side you never expected? Today, Pastor Ken shows that Scripture presents two striking portraits of the Messiah. One reveals a conquering, triumphant King who rules the nations with authority and power. The other reveals a humble, gentle Servant who suffers and gives Himself for His p...

The view from the top of a mountain makes the arduous climb worthwhile. From the summit, you can see ridge after ridge stretching into the distance, and you begin to wonder what the view looks like from those peaks. Today, Pastor Ken says understanding prophecy is similar. You may feel like you’re seeing the whole future laid out—but you’re viewing it from just one vantage point. There are many pe...

Doesn’t it feel satisfying to snap the final piece of a puzzle into place? For hours, even days, you’ve patiently fitted piece after piece together, watching the image slowly take shape. Today, Pastor Ken says that’s what it’s like when you begin to read and understand biblical prophecy. A passage here, a passage there, and the bigger picture starts to emerge. You don’t see it all yet—and you won’...

There always seems to be so much to do—fix the loose drawer, answer that email, mow the lawn, organize the closet. It’s easy to procrastinate and push it all to next week. The to-do list grows, and eventually neglect catches up with you. Today, Pastor Ken warns you that the same is true spiritually. When you ignore what God has clearly called you to do, the effects don’t simply disappear. Disobedi...

Have you ever been so scared that your stomach felt like it dropped to the floor? Or so startled your heart seemed ready to pound out of your chest? Fear has a powerful effect on the body — and it can have an even stronger effect on your choices. Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that fear can keep you from stepping into what God has planned for you to do. It can hold you back and cloud your judgment....

Albert Bierstadt (Beer-stat) painted sweeping landscapes of the American West in the late nineteenth century. When you first approach one of his massive canvases, you have to step back to take it all in. But as you move closer, you notice small details — deer grazing in the trees, a lone canoe on the water, a distant waterfall. You can’t see the full picture and every detail at the same time. Toda...

One word can mean so much. Think about the word run. An athlete runs a race. Water runs down a window. A manager runs a company. A candidate runs for office. You can even have a run of good luck. One word — many meanings. Today, Pastor Ken points you to a title of God that is just as rich: “The Lord of Armies.” It speaks of His power, authority, justice, and care for His people. So much is wrapped...

Traditions can be powerfully symbolic. The smell of turkey on Thanksgiving Day, hanging ornaments on the Christmas tree, lighting fireworks on the Fourth of July. But if you do those symbolic acts just to do them, they become meaningless. Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that spiritual traditions can turn into empty rituals as well. There are deep, powerful truths behind them—but if you practice them...

Every job involves an evaluation. Whether it’s a formal sit-down with the boss or an informal pop-in from the principal, every head of a school or business wants to know what results you are producing. But today, Pastor Ken reminds you that Jesus isn’t the CEO of a company. Of course, He wants you to be faithful with the time and talents He has entrusted you with, but at the end of the day, He acc...

Sometimes we just go through the motions. You drive the same route and suddenly realize you’re speeding without thinking. You flop onto the couch at night and flip on the same channel out of habit. Today, Pastor Ken warns that we can do the same thing spiritually. You open your Bible in the morning, say a quick prayer, and move on with your day. But have you paused to ask why you’re doing it—or wh...

When a car starts moving past fifteen miles per hour, it becomes harder and harder to stop. As the momentum of the car builds, it gains traction, and nothing but another heavy object can stop it! In today’s message, Pastor Ken says Jesus is already on the move, God’s plan is in play, and nothing can stop it. He’s had a plan from the beginning! He loves you and wants you to trust Him so He can be i...

Have you ever read a textbook and had to do your own research on the side just to find out the textbook wasn’t completely right? I know I did that often in college! I would look at something and make sure that what it was proclaiming was fully accurate. Today, Pastor Ken says you must check that everything you read online is accurate according to scripture. The Bible is the word of the Lord, and i...

When I was younger, I was put in sports, and what I learned seemed super boring, but I knew that it would help me be a better athlete in the future. I had to trust that my coaches knew what was better for me, even if it felt mundane and simple. It’s the simple things that have helped me become a better athlete! In today’s message, Pastor Ken shows us how the Bible is all connected. Everything in s...

I’ve been getting a lot of those videos on my phone of kids running away from home, eventually realizing how scary the world is without their parents. They always end up going back to their parents and are welcomed by a warm embrace! Today, Pastor Ken says you must fall at the feet of Jesus every day and give Him worship because He’s worthy of it! You can’t live this life on your own. Trust in Him...

For some reason, everyone can tell you if something is good or wicked. There’s an innate thought process in our head when we see something bad to call it bad. Today, Pastor Ken tells us why that’s so. He says it’s because the enemy has a lot of his minions doing the dirty work for him. You see, typically, Satan won’t personally attack you, but he’ll send his minions to try to get to you. You must...

When someone goes against the law, the just thing would be for a police officer to arrest them and bring them to court to see what punishment they really deserve. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says we all deserve death, and when we choose to go against God and reject Him, that’s what’ll be given to us. You must trust in God fully and follow Him every day. He loves you and wants to have a relation...

This past summer, I went to India, and there was something unique about my time there. As I was there, I noticed that there were people who gave their lives for the job that they were doing. They could’ve been a garbage man, but they were doing it at the highest capacity. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says God allows you to be the best wherever you are when you’re living in His calling. You can h...

Sometimes, while I’m driving, I can feel lost. It’s funny because most of the time I use a GPS, but my pride tells me I can do it on my own, and I go against what the GPS says! In today’s message, Pastor Ken says scripture tells us that it’s not by our might or our power but the Holy Spirit in us that allows us to live. You must depend on Him for all your knowledge in this life. God gave you the H...
