The UnSafe Bible

Thinking about World War I and the millions who perished during that massive conflict is a horrible thing to think about. The lives lost, the blood that was shed, and the resources destroyed throughout were a travesty, a testament to the craven depravity of war. While war may never change, we can trust that God will always provide for His people. In today’s message, Pastor Ken takes us through some of the possibilities surrounding ...

When I was around 6 years old, I jabbed holes in multiple couch pillows. When my parents discovered this, were they done with me? “Well, you messed up? Alright, I guess it’s been nice knowing ya.” Of course not! Sure, I was disciplined accordingly, but my parents didn’t give up on me! We see in the Bible time and again where God is willing and ready to reconcile with His people, despite their repeated failures. Pastor Ken reminds u...

Hockey. Football. Rowing. What do each of these sports have in common? They’re all team sports. Perhaps you’ve heard “there’s no ‘i’ in team.” Win together, lose together, the important thing is not the winning or losing, but the fact that you’re doing it together. Similarly, the Bible calls believers to live life together, leaning on one another through good times and bad. Pastor Ken teaches on this principle today, that we weren’...

Think of someone in your life who is reliable. For me, that’s my dad. If I have a question about something, whether it’s figuring out a problem in the garage, the backyard, or with the garbage disposal, he’ll have a solution. I know if I call on him, there’s no doubt that he will be there for me. Similarly, we can trust that God will always be there for his people. Pastor Ken encourages us today with this message, reminding us that...

Taking a leap of faith is no easy task, especially at 18,000 feet out of a perfectly good airplane. But take skydiving out of the picture. Perhaps the slightly easier thing to do is to take a step in faith. Unless, of course, that step of faith is out of a perfectly good boat, in the midst of a raging storm, out in the middle of the sea. God asks for people to trust Him in all things, and it’s tough to do in the hard times. In toda...

I decided to go for a hike one afternoon and spend some time in the great outdoors. I packed my gear, went to the trail, and when I was ready to make camp, I made an alarming discovery – I had forgotten all the food! Lucky for me, I could hike back to my car and drive back into town, but the people of Judah were in a much tougher situation! Today, Pastor Ken takes us through the dire straits that Judah was in, and how their terribl...

The Bible says that there’s no condemnation for those who believe in Christ Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says all God asks us to do is repent of our sins and believe that He’s the only one who can save. Is there any sin you’re holding back from the Lord? Now’s the time to repent and let Him in. He loves you and wants you to trust Him to take away your sins for good. God sent His Son, so you don’t have to walk this walk on ...

There’s destruction all around us. Every moment, it seems like there’s another war or another country that’s in shambles. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says that though there’s tragedy all around but God’s still blessing His people. God loves you and wants you to depend on Him so He can bless you. Trust Him with your whole heart and allow Him to walk alongside you as you tread through the highs and lows of life. He wants your hear...

Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted something to happen, but it might come at the expense of others? Maybe everyone in your class cheated, and you didn’t, so you wanted them to get caught because you felt it was unjust. Today, Pastor Ken says the believer feels the tension of wanting Jesus to return soon because that means those who don’t believe will go through immense trials. Have urgency in sharing the gospel so m...

Sometimes God will strip us of everything we have, so we have no choice but to turn to Him. Today, Pastor Ken says Judah had all its crops stripped away, so they had to depend on the only one who could save them. Is all your hope in Jesus? He wants you to trust Him with any circumstance because He loves you. Give Jesus a chance to change your life. He wants you to follow Him and give all your burdens to Him. Allow Jesus to guide yo...

When we look around us, all can seem lost. There’s brokenness all around! It seems like anything humanity touches turns bad. This is a result of sin entering the world! Today, Pastor Ken says we only have one hope, and His name is Jesus. You must turn to Him to save you from this world. The things around you will always try to distract you from the truth, which is that Jesus is your only hope for true salvation. He wants all to kno...

When food becomes rotten, it’s impossible to eat. Now, imagine if everything you bought or owned that was edible became rotten at the same time. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says the locusts in Joel’s time took over all the harvest and made it inedible. This caused everyone to rely on the Lord for their strength. Without any hope for food, they had no choice but to follow the Lord and trust that He would save them. Sometimes, God...

There’s a constant fear in everyone’s heart that they aren’t doing enough. It causes us to worry and experience anxiety. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says we must give all our hardships to the Lord. When you do that, He’s able to take on all your burdens and fight with you. He loves you and wants you to be free from the bondage of sin! Jesus says His burden is light and His yoke is easy. Fight the lies of this world with the one ...

If you’ve ever watched UFC, you’ll know that when they go in the ring to fight, there’s a set time that the fight ends. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says we’re in a fight of our own. You see, the enemy’s constantly fighting for your heart. There’s no end to this because he won’t stop until he wins. You must stay on guard and alert! He can’t win if you lean on Jesus and allow Him to guide you through any situation. Where the Lord ...

When a child takes their first steps, it’s a moment that’s cherished forever. A parent will never be able to recreate that first moment with their child, but they can have similar moments happen around them that remind them of it. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says the tribulation will be a unique situation and that no one will be able to say, “I remember feeling like this before,” because there’s nothing comparable to it. Christ ...

What’s our instinct when something good happens to us? To go tell everyone we know so that they can celebrate with us! In today’s message, Pastor Ken says there’s urgency to share the gospel with others because we’re always one generation away from the gospel being gone forever. You must share the love of Christ with others. If Jesus has changed your life, your job is to celebrate that from the rooftops! He’s saved you and loves al...

While driving, it feels unjust that people can speed and pass others or even drive and cut others off. But have you ever had that happen and seen that person get pulled over? It’s extremely satisfying to see, as there was justice in an otherwise unjust situation. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says, you must love your enemies even if they’ve done wrong to you, because God will bring justice in the end. Your hope must be in the Lord...

Would you ever read a book from the middle and describe the whole plot of the book just from that? No, because then you wouldn’t have the entire context of why things are happening! Just like how you can’t take a book out of context, you can’t take the Bible out of context. Today, Pastor Ken says that what you read about in Joel directly correlates to what you’ll read in the New Testament. The entire Bible is a story and must be re...

Are you tired of the burdens that the world places on you? Are you worn out from the struggles you face in your life? In today’s message, Pastor Ken invites you to give your life to Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can set you free from your sins because He has already paid the price for them. When you accept Him into your life, His Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you, washing away your sins and transforming them from scarlet...
