The UnSafe Bible

If you were to walk into any big box bookstore, what would you see? You’d likely see a few shelves and tables right at the front full of self-help books, or books that promote self-acceptance and worldly indulgence. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that this focus that culture has on self-esteem is problematic for a couple of reasons, but the biggest being that it’s unbiblical. Your identity...

How long do you find yourself holding grudges? Is it easy for you to forgive, or are you still harboring a grudge against that classmate who cut in front of you in the line to the water fountain after recess in the third grade? Letting go isn’t always the easiest thing to do. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that God, who has the right not to let go, is often quick to forgive and throws in a...

Theater has a deep, rich history, with quite a few fascinating technological feats. In the 19th century, actors literally stepped into the limelight – a chemical reaction from burning calcium oxide. The ancient Greeks used different masks to increase the number of characters with fewer actors. It’s where we get our word hypocrite from. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that many people today...

When a good leader walks into a room, people just know it. It’s what John Maxwell calls the Law of Respect… We follow those leaders whom we naturally respect. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that those who respect the King follow the King, and those who follow the King can’t wait for the return of the King. One day, King Jesus will return, and if you’re a born-again believer, then you will...

God had a plan back then, and God has a plan today. It may seem like the world has gone haywire, but God has it all under control. He knows exactly what He’s doing. In today’s introductory message to the book of Micah, Pastor Ken teaches that God had a plan for Israel, and Micah was going to let them know. He would call the nation to repentance and give them hope for restoration. Similarly, God ha...

Have you ever been so frustrated that you gave up? I remember when I was in school, I would constantly give up on my homework because it was too frustrating for me to complete. Today, Pastor Ken says Jonah wanted to give up while on this journey with God, but why? It’s because he was stubborn and didn’t want to continue the task that God appointed Him. He was frustrated with God! When you’re frust...

How often do we want to control the things going on in our lives? We want to get that job, date that person, or bring justice where justice is deserved. Today, Pastor Ken says Jonah tried his best to control God and tell Him what to do, but God always did what was best for Jonah. God’s always going to do what’s best for His people. He loves you and wants to put you in the best situation to thrive...

Sometimes it can feel like the government around us is against us. It can be the rules put in place, the people put in power, or even just the way things are priced at the grocery store! Today, Pastor Ken says we must remember that we need to pray for our leaders. We must pray that they can lead us well and for their salvation. God’s always working! When it comes to our government, we must remembe...

I recently went to a football game, and it was the most electric atmosphere. The team was losing, but then it all shifted when a player intercepted the ball and ran it 99 yards for a touchdown. The crowd was ecstatic, and the home team ended up winning! What if I told you that when God enters your life, things that things can change as drastically as the momentum for a sports team. Today, Pastor K...

When a parent shares something with their kid, oftentimes it’s met with pushback and skepticism. The child forgets that their parent loves them and only wants what’s best for them. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says sometimes with God we choose not to follow Him because we’re not all in on His plan for our lives. An earthly parent is sinful and can fail, but God doesn’t fail. He loves you and wil...

When we think of the love of God, it seems backwards. It seems weird that a God who is perfect and loving would give us a way to have a relationship with Him. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says we must remember that God doesn’t treat us like we deserve. Because of His love, He’s constantly reaching out to you to have a relationship with you. He wants you to be free from the chains of your sin and...

Can we all agree that it’s hard to forgive someone when they wrong us? We want justice right away, and yet sometimes God says no. Today, Pastor Ken says that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! He loves you and wants you to be with Him for eternity. But what does this mean for you right now? It means you can’t do anything that would take away God's heart to reach for you. Even when yo...

Have you ever driven with a GPS and tried to go against it? I find myself doing that all the time! I’ll think I’m smarter than the GPS only to find that the way that I thought was faster and better wasn’t better. Usually, I find myself using the GPS the way it’s intended in the end! Today, Pastor Ken says when we stray away from where God wants us to be, He’ll always bring us back. Have you allowe...

When a parent watches their kids, they must find the fine line between letting their kids fail and protecting them. Sometimes you have to let your kid touch the stove for them to know it’s hot! In today’s message, Pastor Ken says some people need a low point in their life to turn back to Jesus. You shouldn’t be that person! Trust in Him to be your solution to any situation in your life. He loves y...

When we sin, our first instinct is often to hide it, excuse it, or compare ourselves to others. But none of that erases guilt or brings peace. Scripture is clear: the answer to our sin is repentance. Pastor Ken will teach you that repentance isn’t just saying “sorry”; it’s turning around, leaving the path that leads to death, and running back to God. It’s humbling, but it opens the door to forgive...

A hardened heart doesn’t usually happen overnight. It begins slowly—ignoring God’s voice, pushing aside His Word, and choosing our own way until His truth no longer stirs us. Scripture warns that when our hearts grow hard, we stop hearing Him clearly and drift farther from His will. But Pastor Ken will share with you the good news today: God can break through even the hardest places, softening you...

When we put our faith in Christ, God gives us a gift that never leaves: the Holy Spirit living inside us. He is not a visitor who comes and goes, but a permanent resident, guiding, comforting, and convicting. Even if we tried to run, we could never escape His presence. Today, Pastor Ken will encourage you, since that truth isn’t meant to trap you, but to assure you, you are never abandoned, never...

When you’re on a sports team and you make a mistake, sometimes your coach will make the decision to take you out to teach you a lesson. Today, Pastor Ken says sometimes you can feel like God’s done with you, but He never is. He’s always working, even when you don’t see it. He’ll bring you to where you need to be, when you need to be there. Trust in His guidance for your life and allow Him to guide...

Why are the best professional athletes so good at what they do? Sometimes it’s because of their genes, but a lot of the time it’s because of the work that they put in every day to be great at their sport. It may not be easy, but they find a way to push themselves to be better. Sometimes following what the Lord tells us to do isn’t easy. We’ll say no to His command so we’re comfortable. Today, Past...

In superhero movies, the hero must find a way to attack the villain at their weak point. When they don’t, it makes the fight more difficult for them to win. Today, Pastor Ken says Satan loves to attack believers at their weak point, and one of those places is the book of Jonah. Some people will twist the book of Jonah and say it’s a myth or false. That’s what the enemy thinks is your weak point. H...

Throughout history, the people of Israel have been scattered far from their land. Yet God gave them a promise: He would gather them back, restore them, and make them His own again. Pastor Ken will tell you that the same heart of restoration applies to you. No matter how far you’ve strayed, no matter how many wrong turns you’ve taken, God’s promise of mercy still stands. He can bring you back, to r...

It’s easy to point the finger when a brother or sister in Christ stumbles. We shake our heads, perhaps even discussing their failure, forgetting how fragile we are ourselves. But Scripture reminds us that pride comes before a fall, and none of us are beyond temptation. Pastor Ken will encourage you today to pray for fallen believers instead of condemning them. You can lift them up, asking God to r...

As believers, we’re being watched. People around us—family, coworkers, neighbors—are paying attention to how we live. They may never open a Bible, but they’re reading our lives like one. Our words, our choices, and our reactions all speak louder than we think. Today, Pastor Ken will explain that when you claim Christ, you represent Him, for better or for worse. That means your behavior matters—not...

Every day we wake up to a battlefield. The Christian life isn’t passive; it’s a fight, a good fight of faith. The enemy doesn’t take days off, and neither should we. If we let our guard down, even for a moment, we’re not just resting; we’re giving in and surrendering ground to sin. Pastor Ken will urge you today in his message to put on the armor of God daily, to stand firm, and to persevere. Hear...

That’s pretty unsettling, isn’t it? Seeing cockroaches scatter? They thrive in darkness but hate exposure to light. Sin works the same way. It hides in secrecy, convincing us it’s safer when no one knows. But the moment God’s light shines in, sin is exposed for what it is—ugly, destructive, and powerless in the truth. Today, Pastor Ken will explain that the darkness may feel comfortable, but it ke...
