The UnSafe Bible

When one leader contradicts another leader it can leave the people they lead wondering who’s in control. In the middle of the moment, it may be hard to tell, but from a distance, it’s usually obvious who is really in control. In today’s message, Pastor Ken poses the question to you, who’s in control? Are you in control or is God in control? Like the opposing leaders, your flesh and the Holy Spirit have desires that oppose each other. You may tell others the Spirit controls your life, but God knows who is really in control. 

Many people spend their whole lives trying to find meaning and purpose or trying to fill an emptiness inside. Some try to learn everything they can by reading and studying and some don’t even try. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that you can spend your life searching for truth, but until you start believing in Christ and following Him, your mind will be hardened. You may think you already understand everything, but it’s only through Christ that your mind will be opened and true understanding is possible.

Have you ever just gone through the motions because you had to for a job or something? Maybe you’ve been in a relationship where the other person said their heart was in it, but it wasn’t. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that God doesn’t just want you to follow His commandments because you have to, He wants you to want to out of love for Him. No matter how hard you try, you cannot hide your heart from God. If you are truly a follower of Christ you will keep His commands out of Love not obligation.

Anyone can know a tree by its fruit. Two trees could look great from outward appearances. However, a good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. We should always be asking what kind of fruit we are producing. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will challenge you to look at the fruit in your life. Don’t be someone who just comes to church and looks like they have it all together on the outside, but who puts nothing of what the Bible teaches into practice. Let God transform your whole life.

Parents know that they can’t treat all of their children the same. One child might burst into tears with the slightest tone of disapproval. Another child needs dramatic, clear instruction in how they’re disciplined. In the same way, God doesn’t treat all His children the same. In his message today, Pastor Ken will remind you not to compare how God treats you with how He treats others. God knows you better than you know yourself. He is wiser than we can imagine. He knows how to grow you in your spiritual journey.

“God’s an angry and judgmental God!” That’s what many people think, especially when they look at God in the Old Testament, but in today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach that God doesn’t want to punish anyone. Even in the Old Testament, you can see that God gives Israel chance after chance to repent. It’s only when it’s absolutely necessary that He punishes them for their sin. God doesn’t want to punish you either, and the good news is that if you’ve accepted Jesus Christ, all your sin is forgiven.

Jesus is the cornerstone! What a wonderful truth! When the winds blow, when storms in this life threaten us, we can trust in the sure foundation that Jesus provides. In his message today, Pastor Ken will assure you that Jesus is the Rock. That doesn’t mean He will deliver you out of trials, pain, and troubles, but it means you have a firm foundation to stand on when those hard times come. Don’t build your life on shifting sand, on things of this world that can’t save you. Set your feet upon Jesus, the Rock.

Where do you find your refuge? What do you put your trust in? There are so many things out there. You can trust in money, an earthly relationship, or even your own knowledge and wisdom, but the problem is, that all these things will let you down. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach you that God is the only refuge that is secure, true, and trustworthy. You can put your hope in Jesus alone because He is the only One who will never let you down. Take a look at your life, and make sure you’re not hoping in anything else.

Do we want to be faithful or be scoffers? I’m pretty sure if we’re Christians, we know the answer to that. We want to be known as faithful, but it can be tempting to listen to the scoffers. In his message today, Pastor Ken will challenge you not to be misled by them. They are happily on the road that is counter to following Jesus and actively antagonize anyone who is a follower of Christ. Do you know anyone like that? You can pray for them. You can correct them with truth, but don’t be misled.

If you’re a parent, you know you have to let your kids fail sometimes, right? They’ll never learn from their mistakes if you don’t let them fall and make mistakes. The pain of a fall can be the best motivation to not feel that pain again. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will explain that God treated Israel that way. He let them feel the consequences of their actions, and sometimes He lets you feel the consequences of your actions. He doesn’t do it to punish you; He does it because He loves you.
