The UnSafe Bible

As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Ezekiel, he’ll be reminding you that as a Christian, all your past, present, and even future sins have been forgiven. Don’t allow the enemy to cause you to isolate and grow bitter simply because you’ve fallen. For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one righteous, no not one, the Bible says. When you sin, confess your sin to the Lord and He’ll be faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you.   

Whenever the nation of Israel would start to walk in sin, God would send a prophet to bring correction and rebuke. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how it’s possible to almost sear your conscience like an iron when you keep ignoring the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The nation of Israel didn’t heed Ezekiel’s warnings and they were so steeped in sin, that instead of being troubled by the warning, they were calloused and didn’t care. Purpose to confess and repent of your sin daily, don’t wait.   

Sin had separated us from God. There was nothing that we could have done to reconcile that relationship. Because of Jesus, when God looks at us He doesn’t see our sin but the righteousness of Jesus. Because God is Holy, we are held to a standard. We cannot continue to live a sinful life just because His grace covers it. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about the standard to which we are being held. God has given each one of us the command to be Holy because He is Holy. 

Jesus led a very bold ministry. No other teacher had the understanding He did, and no one else saw the miracles that He performed. He made many lofty claims, but He always backed them up. There are many times when Jesus is straight-up calling out darkness and demonic spirits out of Land and people. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about the boldness that Jesus had when He preached His message. This kind of boldness is something that we should strive to have in our witness! 

Ezekiel was a prophet who was only allowed to speak when the Lord told him to. Many of the Old Testament Prophets were sent to warn people of their sins and encourage them to repent and turn back to God! If these prophets ever misspoke or misrepresented God they would be killed. Ezekiel came with a message pushing Israel to repent otherwise there would be consequences. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about how we must take our sins seriously before a Holy God. 

Have you ever met someone who would shift the blame off of themselves? Maybe they hold a victim mentality and believe that bad things happen to them, not because of their actions. The Israelites made conscious decisions to disobey God. God warned them what would happen, but they disregarded His warning. Many people are quick to blame God, and they disregard how their actions led them to where they are at. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about personal responsibility for sin. 

We have God's Word, which contains all the promises that He’s made to us. We can read about all of them, but then we may actually live like those promises aren’t really active. The Christian’s life comes down to belief. Not only do we believe in God, but do we trust in His promises, and are we confident that He keeps His promises? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing the importance of trusting the Word of God. This requires faith, but He promised to give us that as well!

The Lord has only asked for one thing from the Israelites and it was to love and keep His commandments. However, through idolatry, poor leadership of Kings, and sin, they wandered far from God. They even went as far as setting up idols in the temple. God warned them what would happen if they disobeyed, and it all came to pass. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing the importance of being obedient to the Lord. We can learn from people in the past because we have that same commandment today!

Do you ever wonder sometimes why bad consequences happen? Though God is not the illustrator of bad things happening to people, He does tell us that there are consequences of our actions; whether it be good or bad. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to be talking about how the people broke the covenant of God and how their actions are going to have a consequence. In our walks, we must remember that God loves us and therefore He will allow us to stumble if that means growing in Him.

Have you ever had your doubts about something? It could be a story you heard from a friend or even a used car you got that just seemed a little too cheap. What about doubting God? Though it’s hard to admit, we will see in our message today by Pastor Ken that doubting God isn’t an uncommon thing! In fact, Ezekiel doubted God. As we go through this story, we learn that God never fails, never unequips, and will never let us down. We can rest in the fact that we serve a God that is always faithful!
