The UnSafe Bible

We face many of the same sins today that the Israelites encountered in Biblical times. Because of a lack of teaching about God’s truth, His people began to believe falsehoods. They attributed the mighty acts and creations of God to other gods. Today, Pastor Ken reminds us that God is sovereign and that He does judge Israel's unfaithfulness, just as He will judge ours. He also addresses God’s disdain for legal injustice, explaining that this is another sign of God’s impending judgment to come.

The cultural attitude towards Christians has shifted significantly in recent years. In his message today, Pastor Ken discusses this change and explains how it may be a precursor to the tribulation. He reflects on the persecution faced by the Israelites before their exile, noting that their numbers dwindled during that time. Similarly, in the early days of the church, it was considered politically acceptable to kill Christians. Despite these challenges, we are called to continue loving and teaching those who are lost. 

God always warns His people about the impending judgment to come. Amos preached to the Israelites who had turned away from the one true God, foretelling their upcoming exile. Today, Pastor Ken delivers a similar admonition. He emphasizes that we have adopted attitudes of self-pride and indifference toward God. We have become affluent and powerful and have embraced a sinful lifestyle. Just as God reminded the Israelites, we too must recognize that time is running out and we need to repent of sin.

As a parent, you know that children aren’t born as adults. Babies come into the world unable to do many things on their own and require nurturing and care. This is how Christians begin their relationship with Jesus. When you are reborn spiritually, you are not transformed into an adult but start as a spiritual infant, and God recognizes this. That’s why He provided you with His Word, to help you grow in your faith. Today, Pastor Ken reminds you to stay in the Word so that you can continue to grow closer to God.

There is something truly amazing about the God we serve. Unlike other religions that adhere to a mindset or the teachings of someone who remains dead, we follow Jesus Christ…the Word of God made flesh. He died for our sins on the cross and rose again three days later. So if you’ve been hesitant to learn more about Jesus, Pastor Ken invites you to reach out to Jesus. Ask God to make Himself known in your life, and without a doubt, He will reveal Himself to you. So, what are you waiting for?

When we look at the New Testament, we often focus on the life of Jesus and sometimes overlook the fact that He was a true man of strength. Jesus had a mission and purpose behind every action He took. In today's message, Pastor Ken reminds us that the God we serve is not weak or frail, nor is He someone who remains dead. Instead, the God of the universe came down to earth as a man, gave up His life for you and me, and conquered death on the cross. His name is Jesus, and He wants you to follow Him.

Do you remember the early days of your relationship with your spouse? That feeling of excitement when you see each other and the special connection you had during those moments together is almost indescribable… That’s the kind of relationship God desires to have with you. Many people think of God as a distant man in clouds, but in reality, He simply wants to be with you. That’s why He gave the world His Son, Jesus. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the God of the universe wants a personal relationship with you.

Sometimes, when we feel the presence of God convict us, we can try to deflect that feeling. But no matter how much we try, when we know the truth, it doesn’t go away… the question is, what will you do with the knowledge of Jesus Christ? Will you go back to your old ways, or will you take a leap of faith with Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Ken encourages you to give your life to Jesus Christ and to live a life of obedience not just to Him, but to His Word, His truth…the only truth, the Holy Bible.

Have you ever had one of those days when you feel completely drained? Not just physical fatigue, but emotional or spiritual exhaustion? Everyone experiences off days when they feel disconnected, and it's often during these times that we are most vulnerable. That's when the enemy takes advantage of your weakened state, presenting opportunities that lead you to ignore your better judgment. Today, Pastor Ken urges you to turn to God and allow Him to renew your strength when you feel spiritually weak.

Living as a Christian in this world can feel like walking through a dark room with a lit lantern. The light exposes things others would rather keep hidden, and not everyone welcomes it. Jesus said the world would hate us because we are not of it. We live by a different standard, guided by a different King. Pastor Ken will declare today how your choices, your values, and your hope stand in contrast to the culture around you, but God still calls you to shine the light of Christ even when the darkness pushes back.
