The UnSafe Bible

Do you ever get tired of the daily battle with the enemy to follow God’s Word, despite his numerous attempts to get you off track? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will encourage listeners of the wonderful truths that are to come in the Kingdom age. The ability to walk in the Spirit without the constant pull from the enemy to go against God’s will is so freeing! Are you living with a Kingdom mindset today, knowing that this world is only temporary? There is so much more to look forward to than this life on earth!

The entire world, all of humanity, is just waiting for the return of Jesus and His perfect reign on earth. Today, Pastor Ken will teach listeners of Israel’s longing for the Messiah, and how Jesus is the only One who is truly worthy of following. Many still put their hopes in the abilities of worldly leaders and politicians, but the failures of these individuals continue to point to the need for Jesus. Who are you following in your life? Are you preparing your home and community for Christ’s return? Boldly take the hope of Jesus to all whom you interact with today! 

How is it going to be possible for the entire world to know about Christ’s return at the same time? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will reveal some key points in Scripture that speak to this topic. We know that the Lord can make absolutely anything work, but the method may be more practical than what you think. The world obviously has instant communication in place right now, and the end times events will be significant enough to notify everyone immediately. Are you in touch with current events today?

Is it any coincidence that Israel has been at the center of so many world events throughout history? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will show listeners how God’s plan for Israel has been orchestrated for years and even includes some more recent happenings. There is not a single moment in the history of our world that is surprising to God. Much of what has happened, and is still to come, has been foretold in the Old Testament. Are you keeping a watchful eye on the news with Israel?

Today, Pastor Ken will be reminding you that all the Old Testament blessings pointed to God’s Son, the Messiah, whom He would send as Israel’s Savior—the ultimate demonstration of God’s goodness and kindness. Even though Israel rejected the Messiah and crucified Him, God continued to give them every opportunity to be saved, pouring out His grace and delaying His judgment. It is not fear of judgment or punishment that leads people to repent of their sins and be saved, but the goodness of God!

For the unbeliever, the fear of God is the fear of the judgment of God and eternal death, which is eternal separation from God. For the believer, the fear of God is something much different. As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series, he’ll be explaining that the believer’s fear is the reverence of God, for He is a consuming fire! This reverence and awe are exactly what the fear of God means for Christians. This is the motivating factor for us to surrender to the Creator of the Universe.

Today, Pastor Ken will be exhorting you to depend on the Lord, rather than running to the world for comfort and advice. Israel continuously turned to Egypt (which represents the world) for help whenever the enemy attacked them, or whenever they experienced hardships. God has repeatedly warned them to stop turning to other nations for help, but they disobeyed and received judgment. You as a Christian, must also heed this warning because to be friends with the world is to be at enmity with God. 

There is much turmoil in Israel today. Israel is persecuted, and surrounded by enemies—Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, etc. But this hatred and persecution of Israel is only a hint of what will happen in the end times. The latest round of persecution began when Israel was reconstituted as a nation in 1948. Many Bible prophecy scholars believed the six-day Arab-Israeli war in 1967 was the "beginning of the end." Today, Pastor Ken will be challenging you to live in light of Jesus’ imminent return! 

As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be reminding you that the Lord's Second Coming could be at any time. All the prophecies concerning His First Coming have been fulfilled, and now there are no more prophecies that must be fulfilled for Him to come for His Church. In His first coming, Jesus fulfilled the role of Israel’s deliverer and King. In His second coming, Israel and the whole world will mourn for not having accepted the Messiah the first time He came.   

Conflict in Israel has been a reality whenever Israel has existed as a nation. Whether it was the Egyptians, Amalekites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, or Romans, the nation of Israel has always been persecuted by its neighbors. According to the Bible, it is because God has a special plan for the nation of Israel, and Satan wants to defeat that plan. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining that Satanically influenced hatred of Israel—is the reason Israel’s neighbors have always wanted to see it destroyed.
