The UnSafe Bible

How do recent events correlate with what was prophesied in Isaiah? More specifically, where does Israel factor into everything? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will unpack the text in Isaiah 49, and help listeners see God’s hand in the history of Israel. Scripture is filled with prophesies that have come to pass, and even more that are yet to be fulfilled. Where do you turn for Truth in the world today? As you witness current events unfold, always filter everything through the lens of God’s Word. 

What is your perspective as you walk through trials and tribulations? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken encourages listeners to lean into whatever the Lord may be aiming to teach in the midst of difficult times. The world is already filled with people looking to blame others and complain about everything. What humility to seek the Lord and ask Him to show you His purpose for what you are going through! How can you embrace and learn from God even as you navigate challenging circumstances?

If we still had to make sacrifices to atone for our sins, how small would your flock be? I know I would be facing a sheep supply crisis. Praise God that He sent Jesus to die on the cross to atone for our sins! In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that God didn’t have to do that. There was already a system set up that would allow for the shedding of blood to cover sins. The problem was that no amount of sheep could cover the sins of the world. Only the perfect Lamb of God could completely cover your sins.

What unique skills and abilities do you have? Maybe you’re an electrician. Maybe you’re a music teacher. Perhaps you have a more niche talent, such as a chiropractor for endangered species of animals! Whatever the case, Pastor Ken reminds you that God has placed you on this earth today, because you have a mission that only you can do. As is said in Esther, you are here “for such a time as this.” Will you allow God to use your experiences and talents for His Kingdom’s cause?

The Bible is a beautiful book with a collection of historical tales, prophecies, and wisdom. Throughout Scripture, there is a central message that says, “Follow Jesus and you’ll be saved.” In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that this message was taught to people in the Old and New Testaments, and the results varied. Many people embraced the message, and many others rejected it. God says that those who reject the message will not be in Heaven with Him at the end of time. Will you be with Him?

Do you ever have FOMO… fear of missing out? It’s human nature to want to experience all that we can. Yet, for some reason, we sometimes make excuses for why we can’t attend something. Have you ever declined an invitation because you were “busy?” Did you regret sitting around on your phone all evening when you heard how great the event was? Today, Pastor Ken teaches that God has so much excitement in store for you, so don’t let sin and manufactured busyness keep you from missing out. 

There’s no denying that Israel messed up time after time after time. It’s clear that they are a chosen people, but that doesn’t make them perfect. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds us that God doesn’t use perfect people, because He is the only one who is perfect. When Israel messed up, God didn’t suddenly change His mind… They are still called to be His people. When you mess up, that doesn’t mean that God is suddenly done with you. He wants to help you pick up the pieces along the way.

Wow, can you believe that?! Talk about stubborn and shameless. These people went from worshipping in the temple to child sacrifice on the same day. It’s hard to believe the hypocrisy… but then again, it sounds familiar in a way, doesn’t it? I mean, hopefully, there’s no child sacrifice going on, but how often do you find yourself worshipping the Lord in the morning, and acting like you don’t even know Him in the evening? Today, Pastor Ken teaches that the Lord wants your heart 24/7.

Sin is rampant in the world today. So many false gods capture the attention and minds of people every day. These gods go by the names of alcohol, drugs, pride, greed, sex, envy, and much more. Humanity tends to run to these puny gods thinking they will fill a void in our hearts, but, honestly, there’s only one God who can fill that void. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that you can try to worship all kinds of idols, but they will leave you thirsty. Only Jesus Christ can quench your thirst and heal your soul.

Have you ever considered the similarities of the Babylonian and Roman empires? Both were powerful empires. Both reigned over the Jewish people. Both thought they could never be stopped. But, today Pastor Ken teaches that the same thing that happens to every earthly kingdom happened to both empires. They eventually faded into nothing. This story is repeated throughout history, but there is a Kingdom that will never be defeated, and will never fade… and God is inviting you to be a part of it.
