The UnSafe Bible

We all love the feeling of having a purpose. Whether it’s a really big dream that we’ve always had or an ethos for how we live our life, it’s safe to say that everyone wants to have a purpose. Today, Pastor Ken explains that if you want to experience your full potential in this life and beyond, you need to put your faith in Jesus. He has always had an enormous purpose for your life and is waiting for you to come and claim your inheritance. Transform who you are forever and experience God’s glorious plans.

We live in the age of information. The amount of information available today is impossible to quantify and the ability we have to access it is incredible. The vast majority of people today literally have access to anything they want to know in the palm of their hands. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us about those that would like to control what information is to be shared both in Daniel's day and in ours. We must always look to God and His Word so that we can know what is from Him, and what is not.

Did you know that prophecy makes up about one-third of the Bible? That’s a pretty big chunk of God’s Word. Oftentimes people are intimidated by prophetic books such as Daniel, but when we do look into them we find that they really are a neat aspect of Scripture. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us that God gave Daniel very specific details about things that took place hundreds of years after his life. This is exciting for us today because it shows us God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His Word.

Many times in life we get frustrated over our circumstances. Maybe you spilled your morning coffee or got into a fender bender first thing in the morning. Things like that can really set the mood for the rest of your day or even week. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us about the difficult situation that Daniel and his friends found themselves in. They learned to recognize that God was still God and that He was still in control. Do you need to be reminded that God’s still in control today?

In our modern-day culture, it’s not uncommon for people to affiliate with Christianity as their religion of choice. The thing is though, that what it means to be a Christian varies greatly from person to person. It’s become a very individualized concept. Pastor Ken reminds us in today’s message that Christianity is nothing without Christ. He challenges us to ask ourselves if we’ve allowed Jesus into our lives, or if have we kept Him on the outside looking in. What role does Jesus have in your life today?

Since the beginning of civilization, one nation has always come in and conquered another. Then over time another stronger nation will come in and conquer that one. We see this over and over throughout history and that’s exactly what we see when Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon comes in and conquers the kingdom of Judah. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us about the geopolitical state of the world and the spiritual state of the nation of Israel at the time that Daniel comes onto the scene.

Oftentimes when we think back on history there seems to be a disconnect between the people from then and us now. It’s easy to feel like we’re worlds apart from being able to relate to anything that people then went through. In today’s message as Pastor Ken breaks down some of the history surrounding the Prophet Daniel, we’ll learn that some things never change. Even though fashion and technology have changed over the years, there are still many aspects of society that are really quite the same for us today.

While all that’s required of you for salvation is to trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior, that isn’t an easy thing. It’ll cost you your pride and selfish ambition. When you choose to follow Him, He’ll lead you down a path that requires sacrifice, both for Him as well as the people around you. He provides freedom from sin, but the temptations won’t be removed. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, this cost is too much for some who would rather cling to temporary pleasure and power.

When you start reading the list of who won’t be allowed into Heaven, you may think you’re safe at first, but the longer you read, the more you realize that everyone has participated in one or more of the disqualifying acts at some point. So does it mean that no one will be in Heaven? … Of course not! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will remind us that God invites all of humanity into Heaven through His Son Jesus. All you must do is accept His free gift and make Him Lord of your life.

Jesus did all the work necessary to save you from the oppression of sin as well as the eternal destruction it brings. When you place your trust in Him for that salvation, it’s all on Him to grant and maintain your salvation. You don’t have to get right before or even after you get saved. But you’ll want to. As Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, a desire to do good works and avoid sin is a natural result of salvation. You’ll want to honor the grace and love you were freely given.
