The UnSafe Bible

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. What an incredible promise that is! Today, Pastor Ken says we’re so precious that He gave His Son for us! How awesome is that! You have value. In fact, you have so much value in God’s eyes that He sent His Son for you! God’s love covers all. Even when you choose the things of this world, you’ll have hope in His Son. Jesus paid the debt you deserved. Trust in Him today!

There’s nothing more powerful than God’s power in our lives. With just one word, He can change everything. Today, Pastor Ken says God can make salvation happen when we ask. The Bible says ask, and you’ll receive. This doesn’t mean you’ll get everything you ever wanted with the Lord, but what this does mean is that if it’s in God’s will, it’ll be done. God loves you so much that He sent His Son as the ultimate sacrifice for your sins. How awesome is it that His love is so vast that it covers a multitude of sins?

The world around us is corrupt. Every day, there’s something new in the news reports that makes us understand that we’re broken, sinful people in need of a savior. Today, Pastor Ken says God is just. We can trust Him because He’s just. Trusting in the Lord allows you to have hope in Him. He’s the hope this world needs. No politics or greater authorities will give you the hope that’s found in Christ. The crazy thing is that being a Christian feels unjust. How could God send down His Son for a sinner like you when you did nothing to deserve it? The answer is because He loves you.

When you root for a sports team, you want to see them win, you want to see them thrive. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says when you’re a believer, you must root for God’s side. Your heart posture should be to live for Christ because you want to see Him win. When you live for Christ, others have the opportunity to follow because they have an example of who Christ is, through you! Following Jesus means being on His side, which means you’ll hate the things He hates, but love the things He loves.

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut of feeling sorry for ourselves, isn’t it? The best way to get out of that rut is to stop focusing on ourselves and turn our eyes to Jesus. Worshipping Him is the answer. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to join with the church in worshiping God. Worship isn’t about what you get out of it. Worship is all about surrendering and blessing God. However, you’ll be blessed as a byproduct. Stop throwing yourself a pity party. Turn your eyes to Jesus and give Him praise.

Jesus really does emphasize humility a lot, doesn’t he? Humility isn’t putting on a show of seeing ourselves as less than we think we are. It’s seeing ourselves accurately. We can’t do life alone. We need Jesus. In his message today, Pastor Ken will challenge you to realize your poverty. You are poor in spirit. If you’ve come to a place where you see that you have nothing to give on your own, that your strength isn’t going to be enough, then you’re in the right place. You can come to Jesus in humility, and He will lift you up.

Have you ever tried to put together a puzzle without a picture of what it’s supposed to look like? It might be possible with a simple puzzle but not with a really complex one. That’s what it was like for the disciples to try to understand everything from the Old Testament and how it pointed to Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will point out that it’s easy for you to think the disciples were silly for not understanding things. You see the whole picture, and they needed Jesus to explain it to them.

Isn’t how God works so great? He loves turning things upside down or turning things right side up. God calls us to battle our enemies with love. In the same way, His vengeance on the past enemies of Israel will be to turn them into friends. In his message today, Pastor Ken will remind you that the ways of God are not our ways. His ways are greater. Have you ever tried to make an enemy your friend? It’s not easy to answer insults and hate with love, but God calls you to bring His right side up Kingdom here to earth.

Doesn’t the Kingdom of Jesus sound wonderful? When Jesus returns and reigns over earth, it’s pretty amazing to imagine. What kind of King will Jesus be? A perfect one. We know that. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach about what will happen when Jesus comes again. There will be peace over all the earth. Things like cancer and terminal illnesses will be no more. The whole world will be a Kingdom of abundant joy and serenity. Jesus will indeed be the greatest, perfect King of all time.

Isn’t it amazing what God has done for us? We belong to Him. We don’t have to be slaves to the world and sin. Our whole identity changed when we accepted Jesus. It’s not like we just sprinkled some Jesus on top of the sundae. In his message today, Pastor Ken will remind you that you went from being a slave to being a child of God. You are a chosen heir in His kingdom. That is a change that runs deep into who you are. Let the truth of being God’s child impact how you live today.
