The UnSafe Bible

One of the hardest things employers have to face during a hire is deciding between two candidates, especially when one is favorable in soft skills, and one is favorable in technical skills. Oftentimes, certain positions just need the right technical know-how, and personality comes second. In many cases, the right candidate for the job is the one who fits within the team’s culture. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that you may not have the perfect record, but God still wants you on His team.

Have you ever had to drag your kids out to an event that you went through the trouble of setting up and paying for… something designed for them that you have little to no interest in… and they don’t even want to be there? That can be extremely frustrating, especially when you know how much fun they could have. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that God has prepared a place for you, and wants you to want to be there. He doesn’t just want your physical presence but wants your heart, mind, and soul.

What a big promise God gives us! What a wonderful, gracious God who would allow someone like me, and someone like you to live with Him forever. Paul teaches in Romans that no one is good. We’ve all messed up, and we fall short of God’s glory daily… but Pastor Ken teaches in today’s message that the biggest mistake you can make is hearing about the grace of God, and saying you don’t want it. You have the opportunity to live forever with the King of kings… don’t just throw that away.

Everyone has regrets in their life. You may have regrets about things you never did, like getting that degree. Or maybe you have regrets about things you did do, like sending that text. Today, Pastor Ken has some good news for you. Despite this, God still loves you. No matter how much you’ve messed up, God still wants to spend eternity with you. Your life isn’t defined by the mistakes you’ve made, but by whether or not you’re a child of God. So, turn to Him today, and let Him make you whole.

Did you have any coaches in school who really knew how to strike fear into the players? Maybe it was that yelling football coach whose neck veins nearly stuck out further than his ears. Maybe it was the composed basketball coach who called for one more lap than the players could muster. Perhaps it wasn’t a coach at all, but rather a parent or drill sergeant. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will challenge you to consider who you fear. Who do you fear more than the creator of the universe?

In today’s message, you will learn that the ancient peoples of Israel and Judah made offerings to nature. In fact, you’ll learn that even some Jews chose to worship the creation over the creator. Modern scientists will try to convince you that you are just a collection of atoms that just happened to stick together, and nothing more. However, Pastor Ken will remind you that you were made in the image of God. You were perfectly sculpted by the magnificent creator who loves and cherishes His creation. 

There is power in specific word choice. There’s a reason that many political agendas are adamant about the language they choose to use. For instance, one side may call it abortion while the other may call it reproductive rights. The use of language in politics is designed to rally people behind an idea. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that for many people today, this specific language is often an attempt to justify their actions. Language has power, but your actions have far more power.

If anyone has ever told you that the Christian walk is easy and that it’s a walk in the park… well, I hate to break it to you, but they lied. Sure, life will have its easy moments, but for Christians, social or physical persecution should be expected. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that this isn’t new. The Israelites faced ridicule as well, time after time. However, remember that when they mock your faith, they are mocking Jesus directly, so you will never walk through persecution alone.

What do you do when the ways of the world start to creep into every aspect of your life? What do you do when you’re the only one in the room who hasn’t watched that show or heard that song? What do you do when your job responsibilities conflict with your Christian worldview? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that there are three approaches you can take. You can either submit to the world’s temptations, isolate yourself with other believers, or minister to the lost. What will you do?

Parents’ least favorite part of the job is disciplining their child. We all like to believe that our children are perfect angels who could never do anything wrong, but we often forget that they’re just as prone to mistakes as us, if not more so, due to their lack of knowledge. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that when Israel acted as a disobedient child, God had to discipline them. The same is true for you. God loves you so much that He’s willing to do the hard task of disciplining you to help you learn.
