The UnSafe Bible

The moment we place our faith in God, everything changes. We become a part of God's family, with a new identity and a new home that awaits us in Heaven. Pastor Ken reminds you today that although you may feel like a stranger to this world, your true home is with the Lord and your future is safe in His hands. Not only is He guarding the inheritance prepared for you, but He is also protecting you by His power every day. And that means you can live in full confidence in God, even in uncertain times. 

“I'm gonna walk through walls!” perfectly sums up the awe and wonder inspired by God's promises - His promises that we will share in the resurrection life of Jesus Christ and that we will be transformed and made new. Pastor Ken shares with you today that your future with God is not merely spiritual but also a real, bodily resurrection. Even now, as a believer, you identify with God through the presence of the Holy Spirit. But in the age to come, you will identify with the risen Jesus in a new and tangible way.

God's ways are far beyond human understanding. We often assume that the greater will be served by the lesser, but that doesn't apply to the Trinity, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are fully equal. Pastor Ken teaches you today that the unity and equality within the Trinity reveal the perfect nature of God's love and purpose. And that even Bible teachers wrestle with understanding these truths. So let that be a comfort to you as you continue to grow in your understanding of God and His Word. 

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. God's invitation is extended to all people, offering forgiveness, grace, and eternal life through a relationship with Jesus Christ. In today's message, Pastor Ken teaches you that salvation is not earned through human effort, but is received by faith in Jesus. The choice to trust in Christ is the most important decision you can make. So if you hear God's call today, respond in faith and discover the hope and salvation found in Him alone. 

As believers, it's easy to feel like we don't quite belong in the world. And the Bible confirms for us - our true citizenship is not on earth, but in heaven. This is not our final destination, and we are looking towards something far greater. Pastor Ken encourages you today, when you feel out of place in this world, it's because your real home is with the Lord. And that heavenly perspective should change how you live your life. God has prepared a home for you, and His return draws nearer every day.

One of the things that makes the Bible so powerful is its honesty. It doesn't hide the failures of God's people, and Peter is a perfect example of that. Through Peter, we see that God's grace is greater than our shortcomings. In today's message, Pastor Ken shares with you that God isn't looking for perfect people… He's looking for surrendered people. No matter what your past looks like, God's purpose for your life remains. The same Savior who restored Peter is able and ready to use you for His glory. 

Spiritual opposition can arise even within the work of ministry. The enemy will use any opportunity and any willing vessel to create division, distraction, and discouragement among God's people. Pastor Ken shares with you in today's message that not every conflict can be resolved through debate or persuasion alone. Sometimes the wisest response is to remain faithful to God's truth and continue the work He has called you to do. And to trust God to protect His church and to guide His servants.

Because the Lord is faithful, He works in our lives in powerful and practical ways. He establishes us, building a solid foundation of stability, spiritual maturity, and faithfulness. He strengthens us from the inside out and doesn't leave us uncertain or easily shaken by life's challenges. Pastor Ken teaches you today that God's faithfulness not only grounds you firmly in the truth but also gives you the ability to stand strong when difficulties come, so that you can remain steadfast and secure.

God has given us, as believers, discernment to recognize truth from deception. Every spirit that confesses Jesus has come in the flesh is from God, but any spirit that refuses to acknowledge that Jesus has come reflects the spirit of the Antichrist already at work in the world. But we don't need to live in fear. In today's message, Pastor Ken reminds you that through Christ, you have already overcome the powers that seek to oppose the Lord. Christ has conquered, and He shares that victory with you. 

The Bible warns that spiritual deception will continue to increase as time goes on. While the enemy's schemes are powerful, Scripture reminds us that the greatest danger is a heart that continually rejects God's truth. And that there are serious consequences to persistent unbelief. Pastor Ken teaches you today that every time God speaks to you, it is an opportunity to respond in faith and obedience. Today is the day to listen to His voice and embrace His Word, while His invitation still stands. 

Satan is constantly working to influence our hearts and minds, especially those of young people or children. His goal is to make the world's values appear attractive while portraying God's truth as restrictive or outdated. But this deception is nothing new, echoing the same lie spoken in the Garden of Eden, where God's goodness was called into question. Pastor Ken urges you to remember today that spiritual warfare requires vigilance and a firm commitment to God's Word, so stand confident in God's presence. 

With so many competing voices in the world, it's important to discern who is truly teaching God's Word and who is leading people astray. Scripture warns us that false teachers do more than get theology wrong…they intentionally distort the truth for their own purposes. Rather than point people to Christ, they seek to build a following around themselves. Pastor Ken reminds you today that not everyone who claims to speak for God is actually serving Him. Behind every lie is the influence of the enemy, Satan.

God has already provided all the tools we need to discern truth from error. The more we understand what the Bible teaches, the better prepared we are to recognize falsehood when it appears. Pastor Ken urges you today to examine teachings closely, rather than simply accept them at face value. And sometimes that means digging deeper, carefully studying and researching Scripture, and asking important questions. Discernment grows when you take the time to investigate and verify the truth.

God's Word teaches that every prophetic message must be tested by the standards of Scripture. And God has given His Word as the ultimate standard for evaluating each claim. Even when someone has spoken accurately in the past, that alone is not proof that every future prediction is from God. Pastor Ken reminds you today that your trust belongs to God alone, and not in any individual's track record. As you listen and learn, let Scripture be the final authority that guides your faith. 

Believers can be so quick to accept new claims about signs and prophetic events without examining what Scripture actually says. When someone declares they've unlocked a hidden meaning or decoded the latest sign, it naturally captures our attention. But Pastor Ken urges you in today's message to test every teaching against the truth of God's Word. Discernment grows when you know the Bible for yourself. And that's why studying Scripture is more important than ever.

The early Christians in Thessalonica experienced rejection, ridicule, and persecution because of their faith. But what the world viewed as shame, God transformed into a mark of honor. Pastor Ken teaches you today that persecution and hardship for Christ are never meaningless in God's eyes. While you may not seek persecution, you can take comfort in knowing that God sees every sacrifice you make for Him. And what may appear to be a loss in this life can become eternal gain in the life to come. 

In Christ, we as believers are united as one family, regardless of background, status, or ethnicity. The gospel leaves no room for racism, favoritism, or any attitude that places one person above another. We all stand on equal ground at the foot of the cross as we become transformed by God's grace. In today's message, Pastor Ken reminds you that you ultimately share the same hope, the same Savior, and the same calling as other believers. Rather than compare yourself to them, walk humbly and love one another. 

False teaching isn't just a problem from the past…it's still a danger today! Across the world, there are people who seek to deceive believers and lead them away from God's truth. And they often target those who are going through difficult seasons of life.  In these moments of vulnerability, false teachers may offer promises that sound comforting, but are not found in Scripture. In today's message, Pastor Ken makes it clear to you that God's Word, not human promises, is the foundation of your hope.

In this age of the Internet and instant access to free information, we all hear tons of different voices every day. The apostle Paul, 2000 years ago, warned us to be careful who we listen to. Many eloquent speakers sound like they are speaking truth, but are actually completely opposed to God's Word. Today, Pastor Ken will challenge us to filter what we hear through the lens of Scripture. If it doesn't line up with what the Lord says, it's not worth listening to. Don't let your heart be deceived by worldly wisdom!

Many Christians struggle with the bad habit of saying they'll pray for someone, but ultimately forgetting to do so. It's almost a reflex to promise to keep a person in our prayers when we hear about a challenging situation. But God takes those promises seriously, and we should too! Today, Pastor Ken will recommend praying right then and there to avoid forgetting later in the week. We're called to be men and women of our word, and that applies to prayer as much as anything else! Don't be accidentally dishonest!

The Lord really doesn't ask that much of us. We're called to abandon our sin, share the gospel continuously, and walk faithfully with Him. When we're in step with Jesus, prayer is a natural response. Today, Pastor Ken will remind us to pray for everyone – even those who hurt us and hate us. It's easy to pray for God to bless a friend or family member, but it's much more difficult to ask for an enemy to be blessed! And yet, that's exactly what Jesus modeled and asks us to do out of love for Him!

Tragically, many people are speeding toward an eternity apart from God because they are putting off placing their faith in Jesus. They think they have time because they're healthy or young, or that they'll finally repent after the rapture. The problem is that nobody is guaranteed another minute on this planet. Our lives are fragile, and Jesus could return at any moment! If you've been waiting to turn to Christ, Pastor Ken will encourage you to settle the matter today! Run to God's wide open arms!

Don't be deceived! We live in a country (and, really, a world) that believes there is no universal truth. We're constantly told to leave people alone and to let them pursue “their truth.” The Bible adamantly disagrees with this! There is a source of unshakable truth, and that is the Word of God! Today, Pastor Ken will challenge us to spread and stand up for the life-changing gospel. Billions are headed for destruction because of the lies that they believe! Time is running out, and we need to be bold witnesses of the truth!

One thing that sets Christianity apart from other religions is that God uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary plans! The Lord isn't looking for superheroes who have everything together in their lives. He wants to use those who seek Him in humility and self-surrender! Today, Pastor Ken will remind you that Jesus can use absolutely anyone! So don't let the world convince you that you can't be used to advance the Kingdom! God wants to work in your life to lead others to His grace!

Jesus is coming back soon! God's Word is filled with promises that the King of Kings is returning to make all things perfect! Pain, death, and sin will be permanently eradicated, and we will be with our Lord forever. As you listen to Pastor Ken today, you'll get even closer to the moment when the sky is rolled back, and Jesus returns! It's incredibly exciting, but it's also a call to action! There are many people whom God has placed in your life who desperately need to hear the gospel! Stand firm and share boldly!

At the beginning of human history, Adam and Eve made a terrible decision that would impact every person who has lived on this planet. But God in His grace chose to send His Son to defeat the curse and pay the ultimate price. He created a way for us to be free from the penalty that Adam shackled humanity with. Today, Pastor Ken will remind us that we no longer belong to the original, fallen human race. We are born again in Jesus and will never taste death and hell, because of what He has done for us!

If you ask people walking down the street if they think they will go to heaven when they die, most people would say, “I hope so! I'm a pretty good person!” One of the glorious things about Christianity is that you don't have to wonder! When you turn to Jesus for the first time, you are purchased by His sinless blood, and you instantly become His son or daughter! Today, Pastor Ken will tell you that the Holy Spirit lives inside you if you belong to the Lord! The Spirit is God's guarantee that you are His!

Throughout history, many people have tried to predict the exact timing of Christ's return, often leading others into fear, confusion, and harmful decisions. But Scripture never calls believers to set dates or make reckless decisions based on human predictions. Today, Pastor Ken goes over with you how God intentionally did not reveal the exact moment Jesus will return because He wants you to live faithfully and ready at all times. Don't worry, because His coming is imminent. He will come!

We've been given everything we need to know about the times and seasons surrounding the return of Christ. Jesus made it clear that our focus should not be on fear or speculation, but faithfulness. And just like the disciples, we're to stay ready. Pastor Ken reminds you today that your responsibility is not to predict every detail, but to remain faithful in the work Jesus has placed before you. The mission has never changed…continue serving, continue believing, and continue sharing the Gospel until Jesus returns. 

As believers, we're reminded that this is not our home. Our identities are not found in earthly systems, but in Jesus Christ and the kingdom of Heaven. While we pray for the well-being of our nation, our mission was never about taking over governments or gaining worldly power. Instead, we are called to make disciples and share the hope of the Gospel. Today, Pastor Ken urges you to remember that your citizenship is ultimately in Heaven, and every part of your life should reflect Christ. 

From the earliest days of the church, believers lived with the expectation that Jesus could return at any moment. Even the apostle Paul believed he might personally witness the Lord coming for His people. In today's message, Pastor Ken reminds you that the return of Christ is not symbolic or uncertain, but a real event promised in the Word of God. If you belong to Jesus, it will be a moment of victory, hope, and everlasting joy, so live every day faithfully, watching with the expectation of His return. 

Many people are drawn to simple phrases that sound comforting and easy to remember. Statements like “God is love” are true, but they are often separated from the full truth of God's Word. Others can begin to believe that God approves of anything and everything! But while He is loving and merciful, He is also Holy and just. In today's message, Pastor Ken teaches you that God's grace was never meant to excuse sin, but to rescue you from it. If you're a believer, you're called to share the complete message of God. 

When Paul and his team carried the gospel into Greece, they stepped into places deeply influenced by darkness and unbelief. But wherever they went, people began hearing about Jesus Christ, and their lives were transformed. However, Satan fought back, stirring opposition and forcing Paul and his companions out of town after town to try to stop the spread of the gospel. But Pastor Ken tells you today that once the Holy Spirit changes a life, that transformation becomes a testimony that others can't ignore. 

God the Father set into motion a beautiful plan of redemption, just like the old Jewish wedding customs of a bride being prepared for her wedding day. And while Heaven is being prepared for us, God is also preparing us for Heaven. Pastor Ken teaches you today that sanctification is the ongoing work of God, making you holy, purified, and ready for His return. Every trial, every prayer, and every step of faith is shaping believers to become more like Jesus in this season of transformation. 

Right now, all over the world, people are driving their cars, sitting at the dinner table, folding laundry, having an ordinary day, not realizing that everything could change at any moment. In just the blink of an eye, believers could be called home. Pastor Ken reminds you today that no one knows the exact day or hour of the Rapture, but you are called to live ready. There will be no time for goodbyes… One moment you're here, and the next you're gone. Today is the day to stay faithful and keep your eyes on Jesus.

Scripture teaches us that when God's church is removed, the world will enter a time of judgment unlike anything seen before. But God, in His mercy, continues to hold the door of salvation open. Every person who has trusted in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross has the assurance of belonging to Him. Pastor Ken tells you today that there is still time to respond to God's invitation of grace and become part of His family. But the opportunity won't remain forever; now is the time to place your trust in Him!

We might not feel it most days, but there is a sense of urgency surrounding the coming of the Rapture. Imagine Noah, as he builds his ark, inviting anyone who would listen to come aboard to safety before judgment arrives. In today's message, Pastor Ken urges you to carry on with that same mission. The approaching Rapture is not meant to create fear for believers, but to encourage you to reach the lost, because there's still time for others to respond to God's invitation and receive His grace.

God has always been faithful to protect His people, even in the midst of judgment and chaos. Scripture shows us again and again that the Lord never abandons His children or treats them as forgotten collateral damage. Pastor Ken reminds you today that God still watches over His followers and will continue to do so in the days ahead. Just like others in the past, you can be pointed towards the hope that believers have in the coming Rapture. Rest in the assurance that God remains in control.

Have you ever been rescued from an awkward situation? You might have had an accident, and someone comes and gives you a pair of pants.  Or perhaps you forgot someone's name, but your friend was there to remind you in the middle of the conversation. Being saved from these situations is small; it isn't life-altering.  But there is something bigger at stake that we need saving from. Today, Pastor Ken encourages you that when you place your faith in Jesus, you'll be rescued from the wrath of God. 

Has anyone ever told you something you just aren't getting? It could be instructions for building an IKEA table, or a story about something that happened years ago. You are listening, but the pieces just aren't connecting. This is probably how the disciples felt when they heard Jesus talk about how He would bring about His kingdom. They were listening to Jesus, but they didn't fully get the full picture. Today, Pastor Ken shares how all Scripture gives you the full picture of how Jesus will usher in His kingdom on earth. 

Have you felt the difficulty of life lately? It feels as though you are making changes and striving in a positive direction, but something brings you down. It could be an old habit, a friend, or something you see online. These things could be tempting you off the path you've worked so hard to stay on, but what if I told you that you don't have to face these alone? In today's message, Pastor Ken shares how placing your faith in God changes your attitude and your ability to walk away from temptation and sin. 

Have you been in a place where you are just going through the motions? Day by day, it's the same thing over and over again. Your days are starting to blend, and you feel a little checked out. That doesn't have to be the case. Even in the mundane day-to-day grind, when you place your faith in Christ, He calls you to live a life dedicated to Him. This life looks different than the world.  In today's message, Pastor Ken challenges you to shift your thinking of what holy is and live it out in your everyday life.

When you beat a video game, there's usually a reward at the end that shows other players you've completed the whole game. But sometimes the grind to get to that point doesn't feel worth it. You feel frustrated and tired because you must constantly play the same levels just to win. Today, Pastor Ken says Christ will make living on this Earth hard, but He's also your reward. There's hope in His name! You must trust in Him and watch as He makes the burdens of this world lighter and shows you how to be bold.

When we mix water and oil, they never mix. In fact, they always split where the oil rises, and the water settles. This is because of the density of both liquids and how they interact! We would call oil hydrophobic because it can't mix with water, but how does this relate to the message? Today, Pastor Ken shares that if you're a believer, you're going to live a lifestyle counter to the world. Just like water and oil, it's hard for a believer to mix with the world because God calls you to live as light in the darkness!

I come from an Asian background, so I'm sure you can imagine when Americans walk into my home how interested they are in the culture that I was raised in. The things my parents did were very different than my American friends' parents. But there wasn't a way that was better or worse; it was just different. Today, Pastor Ken says that in Paul's day, they tried to understand the culture they were in before teaching the Gospel. You must know your context to share the Gospel with others effectively!

Have you ever driven down a road and hit a closed road, even though that's the road your GPS said to go down? What do you do in that moment? Well, I would guess that you would find a new way to get to your destination! In today's message, Pastor Ken says when the enemy tries to stop you from sharing the Gospel, you must find another way. I mean, look at Paul, he was imprisoned, but that didn't deter him from sharing the good news of Jesus. He chose to write letters! What an example to follow!

When I go to the doctor's office, I can feel skeptical about what they're sharing with me. Even if I know it's good for me, I get scared that they're just trying to sell me something I don't need! It's funny because my father's a doctor, so you would think that I would trust them more, but I don't. Today, Pastor Ken says non-believers rarely want to hear what you have to say about the Gospel. They would rather live their life than hear you out, but don't lose hope. Keep running after them because Christ runs after you.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and realized halfway through that they didn't care about what you said because they had their own agenda? Those conversations frustrate me because it seems like I can't share my side without being interrupted! Today, Pastor Ken says, sometimes people will start a Gospel conversation with you to share their doctrines and not care what you say. You must remind yourself that it's not you, but the Holy Spirit in you that God uses to share His truths.

It would be strange if a basketball coach didn't just coach the team but also played during a game with his players. You would question what was happening and if the coach was guiding his team! In today's message, Pastor Ken says you are both a shepherd and a sheep in the kingdom of God. You shepherd those around you to be more like Jesus, but you also live under God's authority and need guidance from Him every day. It's a strange dichotomy, but it makes sense in the kingdom of God.

It's said that you're the sum of your three closest friends. But what's interesting about that is that you can have friends who push you away from God or ones who bring you near. You can't be afraid to stand up for the gospel, even if your friends aren't. In today's message, Pastor Ken says you must be vulnerable and transparent when it comes to sharing the Gospel with others. God's Word is offensive, but in a good way. It pushes people to be more like Jesus and to live a way that's honoring to Him!

The sports teams that win championships usually have an identity and use it to unify their players to achieve their goal. It's their unity that allows them to do things that other teams can't. Today, Pastor Ken says you can't get distracted by the things around you! The Gospel must be the driving force for your ministry! If you keep that at the forefront of your mind when making decisions, you'll find that the ways the enemy tries to tear you down will seem small compared to the goal of sharing Jesus with everyone.
