Have you noticed how the world has started to normalize divorce? It's interesting because it seems like the Bible is extremely clear that divorce isn't okay, and yet we seem to be becoming numb to it. Today, Pastor Ken shares that divorce was also normalized in Biblical times. The enemy wants to desensitize you to purity. You must remind yourself of who God calls you to be so you can know what's of God and what isn't. Go to His Word to gain your knowledge of right and wrong!

Have you ever been given something that you didn't deserve? It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it gives us a weird feeling inside, and we start to ask the question: Should I accept this or not? In today's message, Pastor Ken says you can't forget that Jesus died for your sins. It's your reason to respond with faithfulness to Him! He didn't have to die, but He chose to because He loves you! God sent His Son as a way for you to have an opportunity to live with Him for eternity. Trust in Him today!

How many of you have gone over the speed limit this past week? I know I have; it's not an uncommon thing to do! It's so easy to let your foot push the gas pedal just a little bit to go faster than what's acceptable. Today, Pastor Ken says you must submit to authority because it's honoring to the Lord. Now, if the government asks you to do something that's not of Christ, you stand firm on your truth of the Gospel, but if it's something as silly as following the speed limit, consider following it to honor God.

Pastor Ken's Sermon, September 27, 2026

Some things in life are essential to everyday living. For example, you should exercise every day to maintain good health, or you must drink a lot of water so you're hydrated and don't pass out, or finally, you should be getting adequate sleep so that you can function in your workplace. Those are just a few things, but today, Pastor Ken says one of those things must be to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. When you make that choice, you're promised life with Him for eternity! Put your faith in Him today!

In school, it's easy to follow what the teacher says, but isn't it one of the most satisfying feelings when you tell a teacher they have something wrong and you're right? Those times only come when you've done your studying and know the content that they're reviewing! Today, Pastor Ken says you must be knowledgeable in Scripture so that you can know what's of God and what's not. To get to that point, you must read your Bible consistently. This allows you to know what's right from wrong!

Have you ever tried to keep up with someone who's a faster runner than you? You keep up for a couple of minutes, then burn out quickly because it's not the right pace for you. Today, Pastor Ken says you must be careful running with the culture. It may feel good in the moment, but sooner rather than later, you'll find that the culture is pulling you away from God. You must know what's right and wrong by reading God's Word and being well-equipped when you're faced with deciding who to follow.

It seems like the world around us is starting to silence Christians. You see people ostracizing those who follow Jesus because of their beliefs on a certain topic. Today, Pastor Ken says that this is because Christianity isn't providing the consensus for our society. This makes it imperative that you know the Word of God so that you can know what's of God and what's of this world. Trust in Him and allow Him to be your guide through troubled times. He'll help you discern what's acceptable to Him!

Pastor Ken preaches on the importance of missions in our vision.

What if the greatest evidence of your spiritual growth isn't what happens at church—but what happens inside your home? We often talk about love as something we feel. Scripture describes love as something we do. In Week 3 of The Real You Lives at Home, Pastor Ken Senchal asks a challenging question: Do the people who live with me experience the love of Christ based on how I treat them? Using 1 Corinthians 13, Colossians 3, Philippians 2, Romans 12 and Ephesians 4, Pastor Ken explores three practical ways followers of Jesus can demonstrate Christlike love in their closest relationships. Make room for mistakes. Give others the same patience and grace Christ continually gives us. Learn to go second. Being right isn't always the same thing as being loving. Jesus demonstrated His strength by serving rather than demanding His own way. Lose the scorecard. Love doesn't save receipts from every past failure so they can become ammunition in the next argument. Unresolved offenses can slowly become a weight we carry into every interaction. As Pastor Ken explains, forgiveness doesn't mean an offense was acceptable, nor does it mean trust must immediately be restored. Instead, forgiveness means refusing to make another person's offense our permanent possession. Jesus made room for broken people. He took the position of a servant. And through the cross, He wiped away the record of our sin. If Jesus is changing the real you, the people closest to you should eventually be able to see it. Listen now and consider: What would change in your home if love became more than something you said—and became something you consistently did?

Don't reject Jesus' authority rather embrace it as from God and marvelous.

What happens when our ideology begins shaping how we read the Bible instead of allowing the Bible to shape what we believe?In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken Ortize examines the rise of “woke Christianity,” progressive theology, Christian nationalism, and the growing influence of what he calls “micro-tribe Christianity.”Social media has made it easier than ever to surround ourselves with voices that reinforce what we already believe. But when politics, personal experience, cultural movements, or group identity become the lens through which we interpret Scripture, Christianity can quickly become something built in our own image.The question every Christian must ask is simple: Does Scripture judge my ideology, or does my ideology judge Scripture?Pastor Ken explores why biblical discernment matters more than ever and why our ultimate allegiance must remain with Jesus Christ and the truth of His Word.www.wtwcomingto.com 

Loving one another in the Church is not optional. Step through the doors of any church, and you're going to find hypocrisy on this front. We're all still imperfect humans – even when we've been made righteous in God's sight – we still live in a broken world and possess remnants of our sinful nature. But, as Pastor Ken will challenge us in today's message, we shouldn't settle for that brokenness. We're called to love each other with the radical grace that Jesus extended to us on the cross.

Today's sermon is When Relationships Get Messy by Ken Adams Find more teaching from Pastor Ken at www.crossroadsonline.org

Who else thought we would just stop sinning after we became believers? But the Christian life quickly reminds us that we still live in a fallen world and carry the burdens of a fallen nature. Even after salvation, we continue to face temptation, frustration, and daily battles with sin. Pastor Ken encourages you in today's message that growth in holiness is a lifelong process. Your ultimate hope in this life shouldn't be in achieving perfection, but in the glorious future Christ has prepared for you. 

God's Word tells us to prepare our minds for any spiritual challenge, and to approach each day with purpose, focus, and faith. The Christian life isn't passive… It requires commitment, discipline, and a willingness to obey the Lord. Pastor Ken shares with you today that obedience is more than just a feeling or intention. It's a deliberate decision you make again and again to respond to the Lord in faithful action. So be committed, as each day brings new opportunities to choose faithfulness. 

As believers, we're called to live out God's truth every single day. A biblical worldview isn't just something we hold in our minds. It's something that shapes our actions, our attitudes, and our choices. In today's message, Pastor Ken teaches you that God has placed you in your community for a reason… to be a positive influence for His kingdom. Because real cultural change doesn't happen in government buildings or ballot boxes. It begins in the hearts and lives of the people who follow Jesus Christ.

I don't think I'm alone in saying I wish I knew exactly what God has planned for the future. Even throughout Scripture, God's prophets longed to understand the details of His unfolding plan. But time and time again, God reminded them that some things would remain in His hands until the proper time. Pastor Ken teaches you today that faith is not built on knowing every detail of the future, but on trusting the Lord and resting in the confidence that all things are working towards His perfect plan.

As believers, our identity is found in one place and one place alone - in Christ. Having faith in Jesus is greater than any cultural, ethnic, or personal distinction. And through the gospel, old divisions fade while a new unity emerges. Pastor Ken reminds you today that when you place your faith in God, your primary identity is no longer rooted in the labels of this world, but in Him. It doesn't matter where you come from or what your background is. What matters is your relationship with Jesus.

It's such a blessing to know that God has already secured our future through Jesus Christ. For every believer, the Holy Spirit is God's promise living within them - a down payment guaranteeing that His work in their lives will be completed. In today's message, Pastor Ken goes over how the Holy Spirit is God's assurance that what He has started in you, He will faithfully follow through and bring it to completion. The presence of the Holy Spirit reminds you that you are loved, chosen, and never alone. 

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. 

The Chosen has become one of the most popular Christian television series in the world, praised by many for making Jesus and the Gospel feel more relatable. But does making the Bible more relatable come at the cost of biblical accuracy?In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken Ortize takes a critical look at The Chosen and raises concerns about its extensive use of invented dialogue, fictional backstories, altered timelines, and extra-biblical material.When Scripture is silent, how much creative license should we take? Can a dramatized version of Jesus begin to shape our understanding of Him more than the biblical text itself?Pastor Ken explains why he believes Christians should approach biblical entertainment carefully and why, when it comes to knowing Jesus, the book is still better than the movie.www.wtwcomingto.com 

“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. 

When church becomes a spectacle, it can be easy to confuse excitement with spiritual maturity.This week, Pastor Ken Ortize examines what he calls “Carnival Christianity” — the pressure to make church bigger, louder, more entertaining, and more sensational in order to attract and keep a crowd.But when personalities, productions, emotional experiences, and audience numbers become the measure of success, what happens to biblical teaching, genuine worship, discipleship, and spiritual depth?In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken challenges us to reconsider what the church is actually called to produce: not an audience waiting for the next show, but faithful followers of Jesus Christ.www.wtwcomingto.com 

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.

Five years ago, OneChurch was mostly a vision. Today, that vision has faces, names and stories. In this special Five-Year Anniversary message, Pastor Ken Senchal looks back at what God has done through OneChurch—and challenges us to look forward to the people God still wants to reach. Over the past five years, we've seen more than 100 people give their lives to Christ, around 170 baptisms and nearly 100 Life Groups. But the mission was never about numbers. Every number has a name. Every name has a story. And every story matters to God. Drawing from Habakkuk 2:2 and Luke 19:10, Pastor Ken returns to the vision God gave OneChurch: Change the world one person at a time. How do we do it? Know God. Find Freedom. Discover Purpose. Make A Difference. Jesus always saw the ONE—and as OneChurch begins its next five years, we're asking God to help us do the same. There are people whose stories we don't know yet. They may live down the street, work beside us, sit in our classrooms or even be members of our own families. Maybe God intends to reach them through us. Thank you, God, for the last five years. Now we're ready for the next five. Father, show me my One.

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. 

In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken continues the What's the Church Coming To? series with a look at “TV Christianity” and how television, media, and entertainment have reshaped the modern church.When worship becomes a spectacle, pastors become personalities, and the congregation becomes an audience, does the message itself begin to change? Pastor Ken examines how the demand to capture attention can compress doctrine, elevate celebrity, and turn disciples into consumers.How can the Church use modern media without allowing the medium to redefine the message?www.wtwcomingto.com

What does it really mean to have faith?As Pastor Ken continues the “What's the Church Coming To?” series, he examines the rise and influence of Word-Faith theology, positive confession, the prosperity gospel, and the belief that enough faith — or the right words — can change our circumstances.From the historical roots of these ideas to their influence on modern Christianity, Pastor Ken asks an important question: Have we turned faith from trust in God into a spiritual force we believe we can control?Biblical faith isn't about getting God to accomplish our will. It's about trusting Him enough to surrender to His.Faith in God… or faith in faith?www.wtwcomingto.com
