The UnSafe Bible

We get excited about it when we read in books, or watch a movie, where the underdog comes out on top. All the odds are stacked against them, but in the end, they find a way to save the day. No matter how desperate the situation, they always rise to the occasion. Pastor Ken reminds you in today’s message, that no matter how bleak the world seems, Jesus is our hope and He’s going to come again. The way things are going can be pretty sad to watch, but what it really means, is that we’re that much closer to His return.

Imagine if you had a financial advisor that had recommended to you, multiple bad investments. Would you continue to trust their advice? Would you believe anything they had to say about how to handle your money? Most of us would be looking for a new advisor. In today’s Message, Pastor Ken reminds you that God validated His Word that He spoke through His prophets by bringing it to pass so that you know you can always trust it. His Word was proven true then and it continues to be true to this day.

How well do you accept criticism? It’s definitely easier to dish it out than it is to receive it. One way people are more likely to receive criticism is when at first, you bring up the issue, without pointing the finger. This often allows them to think clearly, before becoming defensive. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how God had Ezekiel deliver a special message, to His people Israel, in the form of a riddle. He wanted them to hear His Word but knew that they would have a hard time receiving it. 

Have you ever blown it? Like, big time? So bad, that you were losing sleep over what you were afraid was going to happen because of what you did - But then, somehow, it all worked out. Everything you expected to happen, didn’t, and you were able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how God’s goodness far surpasses the worst mistakes you’ve ever made. Even when you find yourself failing, time and time again, His grace is able to help you back up.

We’ve all had low moments in our lives; times when we did, or said things, that we’re ashamed of. It’s different for everyone, but unfortunately, there are various regrets that we all have to live with for the rest of our lives. Things that we hope to never repeat again. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about a time, when Israel had stooped so low, that God compared them to a prostitute, that was paying her customers to visit her. That’s really how bad things were, but despite that, God still had grace for His people.

When you die, what would you want to be written in your eulogy? Hopefully, it would be all good things, right? Nobody wants to be remembered for all their shortcomings. We all hope that our good character will be what our loved ones remember us by. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us about how low of a reputation the nation of Israel had, even among the surrounding pagan nations, in the days of Ezekiel. God said of them, that even Assyria and Sodom, would be ashamed of their behavior.

We’re such forgetful people sometimes. If you’re old enough, maybe you’re more forgetful than others. Maybe you forget why it was you even went into the other room. In seriousness though, we oftentimes forget about the past difficulties that we’ve overcome in life, and how we overcame them. In today’s message, Pastor Ken points out that sometimes, you just need to remember what God’s done in your life. Remember His faithfulness and remember the challenges He’s brought you through.

Everyone’s story is different, but many people find themselves in situations where they have no idea how they got there. Good or bad, if you had asked them years before, they never would have seen themselves where they are today. How about you? What’s your story? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how good the grace of God is; so good that when you were dead in sin, God loved you and sent His son to die in your place. Before you ever realized your need to be saved, He already had a plan.

When you have a tool, you want it to do a certain job. You wouldn’t use a hammer as a wrench and you wouldn’t use a wrench as a screwdriver. You need to have the correct tool for the job at hand, or else you’ll never get anything done. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how Jesus compares us to branches on the grapevine, and our job, is to bear fruit. He’s the vine and we’re the branches and if you bear fruit - then good! If you’re not bearing any fruit, well - then what are you good for?

Have you ever fallen for a scam before? Maybe it was a phone call about your car warranty. Maybe it was an online deal that you knew had to be too good to be true. Maybe it was something as simple as buying the knock-off brand instead of the real deal. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how much God despises false teaching. False teaching leads people to believe promises that God never made, and He doesn’t take well to being misrepresented. In fact, He holds false teachers to a much stricter judgment.
