The UnSafe Bible

The Old Testament isn’t just a collection of ancient stories; it’s a tapestry, woven with threads that all point to Jesus. From the Passover lamb in Exodus to the bronze serpent in the wilderness, from Jonah’s three days in the fish to David’s victory over Goliath, these moments foreshadow the Savior who was to come. They’re not random events; they’re divine signposts, guiding us toward the Messiah. Today, Pastor Ken explains to you how these stories reveal Jesus as the centerpiece all along.

Our memories can be like footprints in the sand, clear for a moment, but soon blurred by the tide of time and life’s distractions. That’s why keeping a journal can be so powerful. It’s a way of pressing those footprints into stone, preserving the story of how God has shown up in our lives. Pastor Ken will encourage you today to write down answered prayers, blessings, and moments of God’s faithfulness in your life. Then you will have a record you can return to when doubts creep in.

Money is like fire; it can warm a home, cook a meal, and light the darkness, but if it’s left unchecked, it can burn everything to the ground. The Bible treats money the same way: it can be a blessing from God, a tool for good, but the love of it, the desire that consumes, can destroy lives. Today, Pastor Ken will explain how scripture doesn’t condemn having money; it warns you not to let the flames of greed take over your heart. Learn how to use money for God’s purposes while keeping your devotion fixed on Him alone.

The Church is called to be salt and light—a beacon of truth and grace in a world drifting from God. Yet too often, we find ourselves shaped more by the culture around us than by the Word of God. It’s like a boat meant to carry people safely across the water, but instead, it lets the tide carry it wherever it pleases. Pastor Ken will warn you today in his message that when you allow the values, priorities, and patterns of the world to steer you, you lose the very influence you’re called to have. 

We’re in the middle of a battle, not one fought with swords or bullets, but a spiritual war that rages in our hearts, minds, and the world around us. The Bible tells us that our enemy is real, seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. Today, Pastor Ken will remind you of the truth that changes everything: the outcome has already been decided. Through the cross and the resurrection, Jesus has defeated the powers of darkness once and for all. You don’t fight for victory, you fight from a place of victory.

It’s tempting to camp out in the familiar parts of Scripture, reading about Jesus in the Gospels, and maybe dipping into Genesis and Exodus. But when we skip the rest, we miss the beauty of God’s story unfolding over centuries. Today, Pastor Ken will show you how the prophecy of Amos fulfilled prophecy from Genesis. The prophets, the psalms, the histories—all of it points forward to Jesus and shows how God keeps His promises, often hundreds of years after they were spoken. 

In a world obsessed with power, influence, and control, it’s easy for the Church to get swept up in the idea of taking dominion and shaping the world to fit our vision. But Jesus didn’t commission us to seize thrones or legislate kingdoms. He called us to something far deeper: “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Today, Pastor Ken will explain that your mission isn’t to rule the world, but to reach it—with the gospel, with love, and with truth. You are called to conquer hearts, not conquer territories.

Some people treat God like a private well—something they own, control, and draw from whenever they need refreshment. But God doesn’t belong to us as a possession; we belong to Him as His creation, His children, His redeemed people. When we flip that perspective, everything changes—our priorities, our obedience, and our worship. Pastor Ken will explore with you today how surrendering to God’s rightful ownership frees you to live fully for Him, and that’s the best place you could ever be.

What if God’s main purpose wasn’t to make us comfortable, but to make us holy? Many approach Him like a personal assistant, expecting Him to meet every need, fulfill every dream, and keep life running smoothly. Today, Pastor Ken will show you how Scripture turns that thinking upside down. You were created for His glory, not the other way around. Your deepest purpose isn’t to get everything you want, but to please the One who made you. How can you live in a way that delights God’s heart and honors His name?

Some Christians tend to treat the Bible like a buffet. They pick the verses they like and leave the ones that challenge them, but this is a dangerous way to approach God’s Word. Scripture isn’t a menu we customize; it’s the full, nourishing meal the Chef has prepared for our souls. Pastor Ken will warn you today not to twist the Bible’s meaning to fit your desires or push aside truths that make you uncomfortable. If you do, you’ll be in danger of starving yourself of the life-giving wisdom and correction you need.
