The UnSafe Bible

What good is a drill with a dead battery? Or a boat with a hole in the floor? Tools have a purpose, but they have to be functional. Listen… you can charge Hell with a water gun, but it has to actually shoot water! Today, Pastor Ken teaches that the Word of God is the most powerful, life-giving, truth-slinging weapon a believer can wield, but it doesn’t do much good collecting dust. You can’t face this world on your own, so you’ll need a working knowledge of God’s Word to help you through it.

Who doesn’t love the sweet sizzle of bacon in the morning? After cooking up that delicious meal, what do you do with the grease left behind? You’ve been taught not to pour it down the drain, and there’s a good reason for that. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that, much like bacon grease, lukewarm “believers” can cause a lot of damage. When people say they are Christians, but don’t submit to the will of God, they clog and restrict the flow of the Living Water. Are you restricting God’s flow in your life?

The quality of leadership can be thought of as a spectrum ranging from selflessness to selfishness. Great leaders often think of themselves last and put their employees, customers, team, or platoon first. In contrast to this, the worst leaders are often those who prioritize their own gain above others’. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that if you want to become an amazing leader, the best way to do that is to adopt the servant-leader characteristics of Jesus Christ and put others first.

While we all hope that we never do anything to hurt another person, the reality of life is that it will happen. If you can say that you’ve never had anyone do anything to hurt you, then you are either lucky, naïve, or lying. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that this fact of life isn’t just exclusive to humanity, but happens to God as well… in fact, it happens daily. God knows your hurt. God understands your hurt. And just like God loves those who hurt Him, you can try to love your enemies as well.

What is salvation, and how does one get it? Is it the key to wealth as long as you are generous enough? No. Is it spiritual enlightenment gained through enough good works? Not exactly. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that we’ve overcomplicated things and think that our actions lead to our salvation when it couldn’t be further from the truth. You cannot work your way to heaven. The only way you will get there is by having faith in Jesus as the resurrected Son of God.

Maybe it’s the control freak in me, or maybe it’s the lack of patience… but I have a hard time watching someone do something incorrectly when I know I can help them. Do you? If only they’d stop pushing so many buttons or hold the knife the proper way, all their problems would be solved! In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that people all around you have issues that you can help with, because you know the solution. You know that Jesus is the solution. So why not help them out?

Do you remember when you first accepted Jesus into your heart? How did your life change? Confessing your sins and accepting Jesus might have been the easy part of being “born again.” The harder part is navigating the life changes that come with following Christ. Some of your long-time friends may not understand how the Holy Spirit is reshaping your heart and desires. Today, Pastor Ken explains how your life transforms when you accept Jesus and what it means to grow in your faith as a believer.

Did you know that as children of God, you're called to live by a specific set of standards? The good news is that these standards are clearly outlined in Scripture, and it just takes obedience and a willing heart to follow them. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explores the standards God calls you to live by, and how the foundation for a relationship with God is simple. As Paul writes in Romans, “If you confess Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Life isn’t always fair! Thankfully, our God is not only fair, He’s also merciful. Like a loving Father, God sometimes has to discipline us when we make mistakes. Often, this discipline can take the form of allowing a trial or hardship to continue in our lives. But His goal is always the same: to draw us closer to Him. In today’s message, Pastor Ken shares how God sometimes has to work a little harder to get our attention, just like He did with the nation of Israel, which was stubborn and ignored His warnings.

Many of us fall into the trap of searching for meaning and fulfillment in the things of this world. Whether it’s a career, money, or fame, these things can easily become idols that pull us further from God. The truth is, real fulfillment only comes from a relationship with God. God isn’t looking for us to just “play church,” or go through the motions; He wants a real relationship with us. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds us that chasing anything other than Jesus will always leave us empty.
