The UnSafe Bible

Who doesn’t love the sweet sizzle of bacon in the morning? After cooking up that delicious meal, what do you do with the grease left behind? You’ve been taught not to pour it down the drain, and there’s a good reason for that. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that, much like bacon grease, lukewarm “believers” can cause a lot of damage. When people say they are Christians, but don’t submit to the will of God, they clog and res...

The quality of leadership can be thought of as a spectrum ranging from selflessness to selfishness. Great leaders often think of themselves last and put their employees, customers, team, or platoon first. In contrast to this, the worst leaders are often those who prioritize their own gain above others’. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that if you want to become an amazing leader, the best way to do that is to adopt the servant-leader cha...

While we all hope that we never do anything to hurt another person, the reality of life is that it will happen. If you can say that you’ve never had anyone do anything to hurt you, then you are either lucky, naïve, or lying. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that this fact of life isn’t just exclusive to humanity, but happens to God as well… in fact, it happens daily. God knows your hurt. God understands your hurt. And just li...

What is salvation, and how does one get it? Is it the key to wealth as long as you are generous enough? No. Is it spiritual enlightenment gained through enough good works? Not exactly. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that we’ve overcomplicated things and think that our actions lead to our salvation when it couldn’t be further from the truth. You cannot work your way to heaven. The only way you will get there is by having fai...

Maybe it’s the control freak in me, or maybe it’s the lack of patience… but I have a hard time watching someone do something incorrectly when I know I can help them. Do you? If only they’d stop pushing so many buttons or hold the knife the proper way, all their problems would be solved! In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that people all around you have issues that you can help with, because you know the solution. You know that ...

Do you remember when you first accepted Jesus into your heart? How did your life change? Confessing your sins and accepting Jesus might have been the easy part of being “born again.” The harder part is navigating the life changes that come with following Christ. Some of your long-time friends may not understand how the Holy Spirit is reshaping your heart and desires. Today, Pastor Ken explains how your life transforms when you acce...

Did you know that as children of God, you're called to live by a specific set of standards? The good news is that these standards are clearly outlined in Scripture, and it just takes obedience and a willing heart to follow them. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explores the standards God calls you to live by, and how the foundation for a relationship with God is simple. As Paul writes in Romans, “If you confess Jesus is Lord and beli...

Life isn’t always fair! Thankfully, our God is not only fair, He’s also merciful. Like a loving Father, God sometimes has to discipline us when we make mistakes. Often, this discipline can take the form of allowing a trial or hardship to continue in our lives. But His goal is always the same: to draw us closer to Him. In today’s message, Pastor Ken shares how God sometimes has to work a little harder to get our attention, just like...

Many of us fall into the trap of searching for meaning and fulfillment in the things of this world. Whether it’s a career, money, or fame, these things can easily become idols that pull us further from God. The truth is, real fulfillment only comes from a relationship with God. God isn’t looking for us to just “play church,” or go through the motions; He wants a real relationship with us. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds us t...

Deep down, most of us know right from wrong. But when we make a mistake, we often try to defend our actions or shift the blame to avoid accountability. On the other hand, when others make mistakes, we can be quick to judge and demand justice. Today, Pastor Ken explains what a “justice meter” is and how Jesus has already taken accountability for our sins on the cross. It’s a reminder that real freedom comes, not through judgment, bu...

Have you ever heard the saying, “One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch?” The same is true for your walk with God. If you're constantly surrounded by people who aren’t focused on Him, their influence can change you. Today’s culture often pushes you to conform to the world, but as a follower of Jesus, you are called to stand out and lead others to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Today, Pastor Ken explores how bad influences ...

Just because people know what they’re supposed to do doesn’t mean they always do it. Just think about the highway, isn’t the speed limit posted all up and down along the way? But does that keep people from driving however they want to? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you that everyone should know that God exists and that they’re accountable to Him, but does that keep them from doing whatever they want? What about you? Are yo...

Everyone’s got a marketing strategy today. Whether you’re a fast food chain, a realtor, or you run a carwash, you want people to buy what you're selling, and so you’ve got to pull out all the stops to get their attention and win their business. In today’s message, Pastor Ken shares with you the importance of letting the Word of God speak for itself. You don’t need a slick marketing scheme. You’re not looking to sell anything. God’s...

We, the people, oftentimes want to blame leadership when things go wrong, but are we completely without fault? You hear all the time, “Did you see what so-and-so did? Can you believe the audacity?” But are we all that better in our own sphere of responsibility? In our responsibility towards God? In his message today, Pastor Ken challenges you to look in your own heart before pointing the finger at leadership. Are you walking with t...

Listen to this from Hosea: “For the LORD has a case against the inhabitants of the land, Because there is no faithfulness or kindness Or knowledge of God in the land. There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing, and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.” It’s uncanny how much the sins of the world today are like those that we read of in Israel in the book of Hosea. Today, Pastor Ken urges you to lo...

When anyone takes the stand in court, they’re required to swear an oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth… Unfortunately, even at that, too many people still try to find a way around actually telling the truth. In today’s message, Pastor Ken warns you about the sin of taking false oaths. The nation of Israel was guilty of this during Hosea’s time, and you’re not immune to it today. It’s a matter of the h...

We oftentimes think of sin as something we do, but sin is also when we don’t do something that we ought to do. Think about it for a second, if there’s a stop sign at an intersection, and you just keep on driving, then isn’t that still breaking the law? It wasn’t an action you took, it was the action that you didn’t take. In his message today, Pastor Ken shares with you that, as James puts it, “He who knows to do good and does not d...

There’s a lot of joy that comes when someone chooses to follow Jesus with their whole lives, but also, those people are extremely susceptible to believing things others say quickly. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says being a new believer is great, but you also must be careful, so you don’t follow false doctrine. You must read scripture to know what’s true from what’s not. Jesus wants you to follow Him and know Him so you can have ...

Forgiveness is a hard thing to do. We often want to keep our grudge and control the situation. When you truly forgive someone, you allow God to step in and mend a broken relationship. Today, Pastor Ken says that sometimes when you forgive, you must choose to forgive someone daily. It’s a lot easier to hold a grudge, but God wants you to forgive because Christ forgave you. Despite your shortcomings, Jesus chose to forgive, so you sh...
