The UnSafe Bible: Recent Episodes
Pastor Ken Brown
If you take the Bible seriously, it will alter the way you think and the way you live. The Bible is unsafe to our current way of living and getting more so with each passing day. Join us in being unsafe to our culture and the prevalent current worldview.
We’ve heard that “we’re like sheep” so many times that we’ve lost the meaning behind the analogy. When we picture sheep, images of clean, fluffy, nice animals grazing peacefully in a crisp, green field come to mind. But if you know sheep, you know that’s not reality. Pastor Ken tells you in today’s message that, like everyone else, you’re a sheep prone to wander and follow the wrong people in the wrong direction. You need to spend time in the Word, so you know the Shepherd’s voice and can follow Him.
The world likes to think that if we do more good than bad, then the scales of justice will tilt in our favor, and we’ll go to heaven. “We don’t need religion; just be a good person and you’ll be fine.” This lie isn’t new. It’s been around since Adam and Eve and has only gained momentum over the centuries. But Pastor Ken is direct in letting you know that you are guilty. There’s no way around it. Jesus has taken your sin. He has removed the curse of sin and death and wants to walk with you in life.
When you’re sick, injured, or hurting, where’s the first place you turn? For most of us, the first place we’d go is to a doctor. But is that where we should place all our trust? While going to the doctor is very important, Pastor Ken wants you to realize in today’s message - that God still does miracles and heals today. When Jesus was crucified and resurrected, He took all your sin and all your afflictions. He conquered sin, death, and sickness. But it’s up to you to reach out in faith and to receive His provision.
Sometimes, it’s hard to remember that Jesus fulfilled the law and that we’ve been forgiven. Past, present, and future – it’s all covered. There’s nothing else we need to do outside of receiving Jesus as our Lord and Savior. In today’s message, Pastor Ken gives a gentle reminder that Jesus has already atoned for your sins; that when you accept Jesus, God wipes your slate clean. There’s nothing else that you need to do to earn it. When you put your trust in Jesus, the law is fulfilled, and you’re completely forgiven.
It’s really easy to think we can do this life on our own. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says a lot of people push Jesus aside because they don’t think they need Him. The reality is that Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” When you trust in Jesus, you have access to God. He wanted a relationship with you, so He sent His Son as a sacrifice for your sin. Trust in God today and build your life on the one who’ll never fail or forsake you. He loves you.
Can we all agree that no one’s perfect in the world? Today, Pastor Ken says there’s only one perfect person, His name’s Jesus. He was the sacrifice needed to have your sins forgiven completely. When Jesus rose from the grave, it gave you hope. You can be confident because even if you mess up, God’s Son covered it with His blood. Your sins are washed white as snow. If you believe in Jesus, you will be saved. Trust in Christ’s death and resurrection, it’s the only way to have eternal life with the Father.
Scripture is full of prophecies about Jesus that became fulfilled when He came down as man. Today, Pastor Ken says that Isaiah’s prophecy can only be fulfilled by one man, His name’s Jesus. He came down so you could have a relationship with God. Your sin separated you from God but Jesus’s death and resurrection on the cross allows you to be free from the chains of sin. When you trust God, you’re fully forgiven, God’s grace covers any sin you’ve committed, all because of His love.
With so much going on in and around our lives, it can be difficult to keep God at the center. We want to, it’s in our hearts to fix our eyes on Him, but we get lost in the grind of daily life. The problem is when we shift our focus off God, we focus it onto ourselves and our own strength and ability. This thinking sets us up for failure because, if we’re living in our own strength, then that’s what we’re limited to. Pastor Ken encourages you today to rely on Jesus – both in the bad times and in the good.
Who doesn’t love a good compliment? It’s nice when someone comments on an outfit or haircut or recognizes your contribution at work, home, or church. It’s important to receive and to give encouragement. But what happens when it goes too far? Can you discern when you’re being “buttered up” for something or do you get wrapped up in the good things they’re saying? Today, Pastor Ken tells you that flattery distracts you and lessens your discernment which leaves you vulnerable to the enemy.
We’ve all been in need. Times when we’ve just about given up. Our month lasted longer than our money and now we have to decide between food and electricity or a family member is in the hospital or we’ve made a mistake and the consequences seem more than we can bear. We cry out to God, “Help!” And when He comes through, there’s no better feeling. Today, Pastor Ken encourages you to remember those times and don’t forget that it was God that brought you through, not your own effort and ability.
When do we need God? The answer is obvious – we always need God. But that’s not how we live our lives. From family tragedy to losing our car keys, God is constantly on our minds. But what happens when we’re doing well? When we’re excelling in life, living from our strengths, do we not need Him then? Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that when you’re at your strongest, you’re actually at your most vulnerable. And that, after a big win, you need to seek God rather than coasting on the blessings.
Have you ever gotten thoroughly confused, reading through the Old and New Testaments, with all the words used to describe the places that people go after they leave this life? If so, today’s message from Pastor Ken is tailor-made for you. Using the original Hebrew and Greek words and definitions, he gives us a full overview of what the Bible has to say. And there’s a whole lot of good news in there for you – as a believer in Christ. And some motivation for you to share that news with others.
Do you believe in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit in your life? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches listeners about all that the Spirit of God has accomplished throughout history and all that He can accomplish in your life if you surrender to Him. As a follower of Christ, you are filled with the same power of the Apostles in Acts! Have you tapped into this life-changing resource? Ask the Lord to fill you with His Spirit and watch Him work wonders in and through your life today!
How do the events in Israel, in the past, present, and future, align with what was spoken of to Isaiah? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will compare the events in Jerusalem at that time, to the prophesied end times that are yet to come for this famous city. It is so cool to see how the Lord speaks to all of His people through His Word written so many years ago. As you see the Truths of Scripture come to pass in the lives of the Israelites, how can you grow your Trust in the One who holds everything together?
The lack of zeal and passion for Christianity today saddens the Lord but is not surprising to Him. It was prophesied in Scripture that in the last days, people will pursue their own selfish lusts over the things of God. Today, Pastor Ken takes a look at the current scope of our world, and how it falls in line with what was spoken of in the Bible. The Lord still expects us to make efforts to bring others into the Kingdom. In a world full of selfish people, how can you help sweeten the taste of Jesus to them?
Have you been trying to earn your way to Salvation through your good works? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show listeners that it is a foolish attempt to choose any path other than complete surrender to Jesus. You may feel satisfied to look at completed tasks in your life and feel fulfilled by your ability to accomplish them. Eternal life has a different standard, however. It is ONLY by grace through faith in Jesus that you can be saved. How can you “let go” and rely on the Lord more in your life?
Do you ever get tired of the daily battle with the enemy to follow God’s Word, despite his numerous attempts to get you off track? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will encourage listeners of the wonderful truths that are to come in the Kingdom age. The ability to walk in the Spirit without the constant pull from the enemy to go against God’s will is so freeing! Are you living with a Kingdom mindset today, knowing that this world is only temporary? There is so much more to look forward to than this life on earth!
The entire world, all of humanity, is just waiting for the return of Jesus and His perfect reign on earth. Today, Pastor Ken will teach listeners of Israel’s longing for the Messiah, and how Jesus is the only One who is truly worthy of following. Many still put their hopes in the abilities of worldly leaders and politicians, but the failures of these individuals continue to point to the need for Jesus. Who are you following in your life? Are you preparing your home and community for Christ’s return? Boldly take the hope of Jesus to all whom you interact with today!
How is it going to be possible for the entire world to know about Christ’s return at the same time? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will reveal some key points in Scripture that speak to this topic. We know that the Lord can make absolutely anything work, but the method may be more practical than what you think. The world obviously has instant communication in place right now, and the end times events will be significant enough to notify everyone immediately. Are you in touch with current events today?
Is it any coincidence that Israel has been at the center of so many world events throughout history? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will show listeners how God’s plan for Israel has been orchestrated for years and even includes some more recent happenings. There is not a single moment in the history of our world that is surprising to God. Much of what has happened, and is still to come, has been foretold in the Old Testament. Are you keeping a watchful eye on the news with Israel?
Today, Pastor Ken will be reminding you that all the Old Testament blessings pointed to God’s Son, the Messiah, whom He would send as Israel’s Savior—the ultimate demonstration of God’s goodness and kindness. Even though Israel rejected the Messiah and crucified Him, God continued to give them every opportunity to be saved, pouring out His grace and delaying His judgment. It is not fear of judgment or punishment that leads people to repent of their sins and be saved, but the goodness of God!
For the unbeliever, the fear of God is the fear of the judgment of God and eternal death, which is eternal separation from God. For the believer, the fear of God is something much different. As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series, he’ll be explaining that the believer’s fear is the reverence of God, for He is a consuming fire! This reverence and awe are exactly what the fear of God means for Christians. This is the motivating factor for us to surrender to the Creator of the Universe.
Today, Pastor Ken will be exhorting you to depend on the Lord, rather than running to the world for comfort and advice. Israel continuously turned to Egypt (which represents the world) for help whenever the enemy attacked them, or whenever they experienced hardships. God has repeatedly warned them to stop turning to other nations for help, but they disobeyed and received judgment. You as a Christian, must also heed this warning because to be friends with the world is to be at enmity with God.
There is much turmoil in Israel today. Israel is persecuted, and surrounded by enemies—Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, etc. But this hatred and persecution of Israel is only a hint of what will happen in the end times. The latest round of persecution began when Israel was reconstituted as a nation in 1948. Many Bible prophecy scholars believed the six-day Arab-Israeli war in 1967 was the "beginning of the end." Today, Pastor Ken will be challenging you to live in light of Jesus’ imminent return!
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be reminding you that the Lord's Second Coming could be at any time. All the prophecies concerning His First Coming have been fulfilled, and now there are no more prophecies that must be fulfilled for Him to come for His Church. In His first coming, Jesus fulfilled the role of Israel’s deliverer and King. In His second coming, Israel and the whole world will mourn for not having accepted the Messiah the first time He came.
Conflict in Israel has been a reality whenever Israel has existed as a nation. Whether it was the Egyptians, Amalekites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, or Romans, the nation of Israel has always been persecuted by its neighbors. According to the Bible, it is because God has a special plan for the nation of Israel, and Satan wants to defeat that plan. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining that Satanically influenced hatred of Israel—is the reason Israel’s neighbors have always wanted to see it destroyed.
What did you sacrifice when you decided to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior? In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you that everyone who starts a relationship with Jesus has to sacrifice something. There are many people who must choose between their family and following Christ, for others it’s a very real life and death choice. You may take the ability to be a Christian for granted if you don’t remember that to follow Christ means to sacrifice something.
When you pray do you expect an answer? Too often people pray as an exercise but don’t necessarily expect an answer. Today, Pastor Ken explains that God answers all your prayers. The answer could be yes, no, or not yet, but never maybe. The nos are hard to hear, but the “not yet” may be worse because if not now, when? Even if you don’t like the answer God gives, He promises to answer as long as you are faithful to Him, so from now on when you pray, pray expectantly!
Are you a patient person or do you get irritated when people are moving slowly in front of you? If you’re like most people the times you are most impatient are when you ask God for something. You may have no problem waiting for friends to meet you, or bring back that thing they borrowed, but pray for something and you can’t wait for an answer. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you, that you can’t rush God, He will answer you one way or another, but it will be on His timeline, not yours.
Have you ever wanted to give someone a gift, but you hesitated because you didn’t know if they would receive it well? In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that God wants to give you His grace, but He won’t force it on you, you have to show Him that you want it and are ready to receive it. To let God know you are ready to receive His grace, you must first repent of your sins with no expectation that He will give you grace. That will let Him know you are ready, and that your heart is in the right place to receive grace.
As a Christian, you will be tempted to listen to and follow false teachers. There will be people claiming to be pastors and preachers, who will say things that you want to hear when you face a new struggle or difficulty. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you that no matter how new or different what you’re facing feels, there is nothing new, God has encountered and conquered anything you may face. So avoid listening to the false teachers just trying to soothe your ears for their own gain.
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a problem or an issue that, in the end, has nothing to do with you? You may have the tendency to get sucked into the problems of people around you, or a world issue that you have no control over. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you there is no need to worry because whatever it is God’s got it handled. Because God cares about you, He will take care of the thing you are worried about, or at the very least He will remind you that it’s not about you.
When you meet new people, do you tend to adopt some of their habits, or mannerisms in order to fit in? You may do it without even knowing it. Sometimes you will subconsciously adapt to mimic the people around you so as to not stand out. In today’s message, Pastor Ken warns you to be careful not to spend so much time in the world without God that you start to compromise and become of the world. You must always continue to rely on God and not the world so you don’t stumble.
If you are like most people, you have had someone break a promise, or say they would do something, but never follow through. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that if God says He will do it, you can expect it to happen. As a follower of Christ, your life will be changed if you continue to follow Him and subject yourself to His will. You can expect to be made righteous because God’s Word says that’s what will happen as a result of truly seeking after Christ in your life.
If you are like many people, you often wonder what your purpose in life is. Some people believe their work is their purpose, others may believe having a family is their purpose. A large number of people never discover their true purpose. While work and family may be noble endeavors, as Pastor Ken explains, your true purpose is to make disciples. There is no specific way or process to making disciples so your work or your family may turn out to be the conduit through which you share the gospel with others.
Many people will search their entire lives trying to solve a problem in their lives. It may be a problem that no one else will ever see or know, and despite their best efforts nothing helps find a solution. Well in today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that some problems can only be solved by God. Many times when you know you have a problem but can’t articulate what it is, it’s due to a missing relationship with God. Accepting Christ and acknowledging Him is the first step to solving any problem.
When one leader contradicts another leader it can leave the people they lead wondering who’s in control. In the middle of the moment, it may be hard to tell, but from a distance, it’s usually obvious who is really in control. In today’s message, Pastor Ken poses the question to you, who’s in control? Are you in control or is God in control? Like the opposing leaders, your flesh and the Holy Spirit have desires that oppose each other. You may tell others the Spirit controls your life, but God knows who is really in control.
Many people spend their whole lives trying to find meaning and purpose or trying to fill an emptiness inside. Some try to learn everything they can by reading and studying and some don’t even try. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that you can spend your life searching for truth, but until you start believing in Christ and following Him, your mind will be hardened. You may think you already understand everything, but it’s only through Christ that your mind will be opened and true understanding is possible.
Have you ever just gone through the motions because you had to for a job or something? Maybe you’ve been in a relationship where the other person said their heart was in it, but it wasn’t. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that God doesn’t just want you to follow His commandments because you have to, He wants you to want to out of love for Him. No matter how hard you try, you cannot hide your heart from God. If you are truly a follower of Christ you will keep His commands out of Love not obligation.
Anyone can know a tree by its fruit. Two trees could look great from outward appearances. However, a good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. We should always be asking what kind of fruit we are producing. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will challenge you to look at the fruit in your life. Don’t be someone who just comes to church and looks like they have it all together on the outside, but who puts nothing of what the Bible teaches into practice. Let God transform your whole life.
Parents know that they can’t treat all of their children the same. One child might burst into tears with the slightest tone of disapproval. Another child needs dramatic, clear instruction in how they’re disciplined. In the same way, God doesn’t treat all His children the same. In his message today, Pastor Ken will remind you not to compare how God treats you with how He treats others. God knows you better than you know yourself. He is wiser than we can imagine. He knows how to grow you in your spiritual journey.
“God’s an angry and judgmental God!” That’s what many people think, especially when they look at God in the Old Testament, but in today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach that God doesn’t want to punish anyone. Even in the Old Testament, you can see that God gives Israel chance after chance to repent. It’s only when it’s absolutely necessary that He punishes them for their sin. God doesn’t want to punish you either, and the good news is that if you’ve accepted Jesus Christ, all your sin is forgiven.
Jesus is the cornerstone! What a wonderful truth! When the winds blow, when storms in this life threaten us, we can trust in the sure foundation that Jesus provides. In his message today, Pastor Ken will assure you that Jesus is the Rock. That doesn’t mean He will deliver you out of trials, pain, and troubles, but it means you have a firm foundation to stand on when those hard times come. Don’t build your life on shifting sand, on things of this world that can’t save you. Set your feet upon Jesus, the Rock.
Where do you find your refuge? What do you put your trust in? There are so many things out there. You can trust in money, an earthly relationship, or even your own knowledge and wisdom, but the problem is, that all these things will let you down. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach you that God is the only refuge that is secure, true, and trustworthy. You can put your hope in Jesus alone because He is the only One who will never let you down. Take a look at your life, and make sure you’re not hoping in anything else.
Do we want to be faithful or be scoffers? I’m pretty sure if we’re Christians, we know the answer to that. We want to be known as faithful, but it can be tempting to listen to the scoffers. In his message today, Pastor Ken will challenge you not to be misled by them. They are happily on the road that is counter to following Jesus and actively antagonize anyone who is a follower of Christ. Do you know anyone like that? You can pray for them. You can correct them with truth, but don’t be misled.
If you’re a parent, you know you have to let your kids fail sometimes, right? They’ll never learn from their mistakes if you don’t let them fall and make mistakes. The pain of a fall can be the best motivation to not feel that pain again. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will explain that God treated Israel that way. He let them feel the consequences of their actions, and sometimes He lets you feel the consequences of your actions. He doesn’t do it to punish you; He does it because He loves you.
It’s hard to let someone else be in charge sometimes; especially if they are in charge of us. We don’t like giving up control. In his message today, Pastor Ken will teach about how God will rule over the nation of Israel when the remnant returns, and we know how Israel struggled with obeying God. Are you willing to let God rule over your life? Can you give over control of your finances, your family, and your future? It’s a matter of laying the crown of your life at the feet of Jesus and saying, “I give it all to You.”
Pride isn’t a new problem. We can easily ignore our faults and choose to puff ourselves up. We know the problem with that though. Pride comes before the fall. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach about a people in Israel who were prideful. They didn’t think they needed to turn to God to save them. They thought they had it under control. Don’t let yourself get prideful. Don’t think you can handle the trouble and trials that may come your way on your own. Turn to God and let Him take care of you.
We’ve all heard of Sunday Christians, right? A Christian who comes to church on Sunday, but doesn’t live like a Christian the rest of the week. It sounds like this isn’t a new phenomenon! This was happening in the nation of Israel long before Jesus came. In his message today, Pastor Ken will challenge you to not be a Sunday Christian. Don’t just read the Bible or hear a sermon one day a week, and ignore what it says. Put the teachings of God into practice in your life. God wants you to worship Him all week.
We are all seeking peace. We live in a hectic, busy world where peace is hard to find. Some try to find it in drugs or spiritualism, but those can’t comfort us the way true peace with God can. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will challenge you to make peace with God. Without Jesus, your very nature is at war with God. You are separated from Him and are His enemy, but Jesus made a way for you to reconcile with God and restore peace to your relationship with Him. Let Jesus transform your life and give you peace.
No one likes being out of control. It’s very hard to have something happen in our lives that we can’t control, but having control over anything is really just an illusion. We can’t control the weather. We can’t truly control our finances. In his message today, Pastor Ken will remind you that the only One Who has control is God. Instead of trusting in your own power to control your circumstances, trust in the One who has control over the whole universe. He cares about you, so let go and give Him control.
There are no longer any prophecies that need to be fulfilled, for Jesus to take His Church home to be with Him. His Second Coming should be treated as imminent, and your life should reflect your belief that He’s coming quickly. Today, Pastor Ken will be challenging you to examine your life and see if your actions reveal that you truly believe He’s coming at any moment. The Bible makes it clear that those who actually believe these things will keep themselves pure, just as the Lord is pure.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series, he’ll be explaining that there are more prophecies regarding the Lord's Second Coming, than His First Coming. The Hebrew Scriptures indicate that the Promised One would appear, be cut off, and then reappear in victory. The first advent has occurred; the second is still in the future. Both the New and Old Testaments predict a second advent of the Messiah. If Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies of His First Coming, He’ll fulfill the ones regarding His Second Coming also.
The Bible is clear that resurrection is a reality, and this life is not all that there is. While death is the end of physical life, it’s not the end of human existence. Many have believed in error that there is one general resurrection at the end of the age, but the Bible teaches that there will be not one resurrection, but a series of resurrections, some to eternal life in heaven and some to eternal damnation. Today, Pastor Ken will be encouraging you that if you believe these truths, then be pure, just as Jesus is pure.
Sexual sin is extremely prevalent in our society today, and sadly, even the church is guilty of participating in these ungodly acts. In the New Testament, the original wording for sexual immorality is translated from the word “porneia.” It means “a surrendering of sexual purity,” and it’s primarily used to describe premarital sexual relations. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining that sexual immorality is the “selling off” of sexual purity and involves any type of sexual expression outside the boundaries of a biblical marriage.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be reminding you that the Lord requires repentance and that one day you’ll see Him face to face. The first thing to understand about the final judgment is that it cannot be avoided. Regardless of how you may choose to interpret prophecy on the end times, the Bible says, “It is appointed to men once to die but after this the judgment”. Each person has a divine appointment with the Creator. You should be excited to see the Lord, not ashamed.
The word “paths” refers to one’s course of conduct. The word for “righteousness” in the original language means, “adhering to moral standards like honesty, justice, and uprightness.” When you follow God’s path, it’ll always lead to true satisfaction. Today, Pastor Ken will be reminding you that in the same way a shepherd guides his sheep along the right way, God effectively leads His people on the correct path, by His Word and through the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Purpose to listen and obey the Lord's guiding voice.
How does one experience perfect peace and is it even attainable? Today, Pastor Ken will offer listeners great hope through these Truths found in Scripture. Those who trust in the Lord completely, with all of their being, are not fazed by the ever changing circumstances of life. We can know with certainty that God will take care of us. Do you believe that in your life today? Ask the Lord to fill you with His peace, and surrender your cares and concerns to the One who controls everything!
In the midst of life’s difficulties, have you found it challenging to remain faithful to the Lord and live at peace with your situation? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will acknowledge this reality for many but will offer hope as communicated in Isaiah. If you keep your heart and mind fixed on the Lord, He will strengthen and sustain you. This is a wonderful promise! How can you practice living out this truth in your life? He will never leave or forsake you, and He is just waiting for you to follow Him wholeheartedly!
The principle of God being our ultimate security has existed since the beginning of mankind. He wants to be our source of peace, hope, and life, and there is no better way to live. In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will show how Isaiah’s writings specifically and uniquely communicate this concept. There are many ways to describe peace and security, but nothing outweighs the character and person of Almighty God. Who do you put your hope and trust in? Find perfect peace in the Prince of Peace!
Imagine the most luxurious, glorious feast you could ever think of, including a guest list filled with other believers praising the Lord! Today, Pastor Ken will paint a picture of what the feast following the Tribulation will look like for Christ-followers. Navigating the various challenges of life, it can be hard to not get caught up in “the here and now,” but there is an eternal day coming. Do you live with an eternity in mind? There is nothing you can earn or achieve that will match what is coming in God’s Kingdom!
What were the preparation steps of a Jewish wedding, and how does it relate to end times prophecy? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will bring these two ideas together by highlighting the feast that awaits believers in the last days. What a joyous day it will be when all Christ's followers come together to celebrate the reign of King Jesus on earth! You won’t want to miss it! Have you made the decision to believe, surrender, and entrust Him with your life? Don’t wait another day!
What will that sacred moment feel like when all of humanity exalts the name of Jesus upon His return to earth? In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will unpack the specifics of this prophecy as he continues through Isaiah. Everything that is taking place in our world is just preparing the way for Christ’s second coming. We can have hope in this truth, and look forward to the day when His name will be proclaimed! How can you be living with a heart and mindset that is fixed on the return of Jesus?
Consider the triumph resulting from Jesus’ death and resurrection. Today, Pastor Ken explains how the spiritual corruption of humanity was healed by the atonement on the cross. Members of Christ’s kingdom will never have to share the realm of the dead. He recovered His created world from the evil one. Jesus intentionally engaged the world in spiritual warfare. During His reign on earth, he conquered the spiritual domain. When He returns, He will conquer the physical domain and reign.
Have you ever felt frustrated by the increasing ungodliness in the world? Today, Pastor Ken explains why our culture has become so ungodly. Many people desire to live without any restrictions and do things their way. The unbelieving world wants to live as if God does not exist. Just like the times before the fall of Judah, people are rejecting God's teachings. This lifestyle ultimately leads to destruction in their lives, their nation, and the environment. They even use God's name to justify their sins.
Jesus is our Kinsman Redeemer. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us of Jesus’ purpose when He returns at the end of the tribulation. Jesus comes to redeem people from their sins and to be the avenger of blood. He proclaims release to the captives, sight to the blind, and buys us from the captivity of sin. He also judges sin. Jesus read from the scriptures in the synagogue on the Sabbath. He proclaimed He was the one the Spirit of the Lord had come upon to fulfill these prophesies. He is our Redeemer.
If God is good, then why would He pour out such wrath on the world during the tribulation? In his message today, Pastor Ken explains why sin is judged. Despite generations of God's love being poured out to us, over one-fourth of the Bible demonstrates the love we have received and the consequences of rejecting it. God has always extended His grace and love throughout history, while also warning us of the consequences of our sins. God will remain faithful to His Word always.
What is the cause of all the devastation and tribulation the world will endure after the rapture? Today, Pastor Ken gives us that answer. He says the cause of all our problems is sin. It is always fatal. This curse of sin devours the earth. Sin is the result of a man following his selfish desires. When people live according to their whims and have no divine accountability, they destroy their lives and ultimately the earth. Except for those believers who leave this world during the rapture, all people will face death.
Will there be people here on earth after the rapture and what will happen to them? In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains the events that take place after Jesus comes for His church. The Bible teaches there will be famine, pestilence, and biological warfare. The people who remain will suffer great tribulation. There will be those who are saved after the rapture, such as the 144,000 Jews, and some will be protected from these terrible events. Make preparation now to be raptured with the church.
Do you know someone who puts a lot of weight on position, or role in life? For so many people their goal in life is to “better” their position, or to make more money. So much so that they miss out on important parts of their lives. In some cases, they may even miss what God has for their life because they are too focused on what they want. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that, in the end, none of the position-chasing matters, God will level the field and everyone will be equal again.
Do you know someone who watches everything that is going on in the world, and may even be afraid of what’s to come? Some people get so caught up in what the media is saying, and what the world is doing that they live in constant fear of what’s next. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you, as a follower of Christ, to keep your eyes firmly on God! He knows what’s going on and what is going to happen. So be sure not to get caught up in what the mainstream media says will happen, so you don’t live in fear.
Have you noticed lately that there is this trend towards an, “it’s all about me” attitude? It seems there is an increasing number of self-help leaders and books telling you how to know the real you. They would have you believe the way to discover the truth about yourself is to look within yourself. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that the real way to discover truth is to start with the Word of God. According to the Bible, your heart is wicked so how could you find truth by looking within?
Have you ever had to come up with a strategy for a team you were on? Maybe you were on a team at work and had to come up with a strategy to increase productivity. If more than one of you came up with a strategy, you probably had more faith in your strategy, right? In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you that it doesn’t matter what the situation is, at the end of the day God is in control. Many times when people find a strategy that works they will forget to call on God for guidance which ends up being a terrible idea.
Have you ever tried to sell something you didn’t really like or believe in? If you don’t have a problem lying to people, and maybe yourself, then you could sell anything no matter how you feel. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that to sell something, without lying, you have to really believe in whatever it is and really want others to have what you have. As a Christian, you should have no problem talking to people about God and salvation. After all, you should fully believe and be on board with the Lord.
Everyone has needs to be met on a daily basis, and not everyone trusts the same source for those needs. Too many times people look to other people, or to worldly sources to supply their daily needs. In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains that you shouldn’t look to anything or anyone but the Lord to provide everything you need. Sure other people may provide a temporary solution to a long-term need, making you dependent on other’s that ultimately let you down. That’s why you should trust the Lord!
You may encounter situations in which you doubt God's purpose and prefer to do your own thing. Relying on yourself can often lead to the realization that you were on the wrong track all along. In today's message, Pastor Ken describes how you can start putting your total trust in God. Your creator knows what's best for you. Even if God's path appears difficult at first, you can be confident that He will always show you the right path. Instead of relying on yourself, how can you start relying on God's plan?
There may be instances when we rely on earthly methods, to overcome a challenge in our lives. But do you know how God is pushing you closer to Him? In today's message, Pastor Ken clarifies why God closes certain paths in your life. When you've exhausted all of your choices, you tend to turn to God for help. God desires that you put Him first in all situations, have faith in Him, and trust Him! Today, you can begin to lean on God and trust Him to make a way for you. He’s all you’ll ever need!
Have you ever thought how inventive Satan can be, in preventing believers from growing in their faith in God? In today's message, Pastor Ken explains how the enemy uses various techniques to keep you from God. During COVID, Satan did everything he could to keep believers from attending church. He may have an insight about a weakness that you may have. He can use your vulnerabilities against you and destroy you. But when you put your trust in God, He can help you identify and overcome the enemy's plans!
Much like the Edomites, we occasionally fall short. We are susceptible to the enemy's temptations and addictions, and we may find ourselves trapped in sin. But is it too late for you to return to God? In today's message, Pastor Ken addresses the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness. When you identify your shortcomings, you can repent and seek forgiveness from God through Jesus Christ. God is always willing to forgive and accept you back. Are you willing to identify and work on your flaws?
You might have heard the term "There is a consequence to everything." Even though God has a compassionate heart, when we sin, we must face His judgment. But do you know how to repent for your sins? Pastor Ken explains in today's message, how you can be saved from God's wrath. When you put your faith in Jesus and receive salvation, He gives you the ability to repent and ask the Father for forgiveness for your sins. When you are forgiven for your sins, you are spared from God's anger and punishment!
Have you ever wondered why God has a unique relationship with Israel? You can observe how the Bible talks about God, redeeming the people of Israel from their sins on several occasions. But do you know what other plans He has for Israel? In today's message, Pastor Ken explores the millennial earth. When the judgment period ends, God will build a new earth for you to live on. On the millennial earth, God will make His permanent residence in the temple of Israel, where He will reside forever!
There will be a time when Israel will not be considered the only people of God. In today’s message, Pastor Ken says there will be a complete reversal of the predominance of God’s preferred kingdom. God will enlarge it. He will include all the Middle Eastern nations and prophecy says they will worship God. God will take back all His nations from the unbelievers in the end times. He will unite all of the nations of the Middle East and they will be restored with communication and transportation for all.
Many prophecies of the Old Testament, which seemed unlikely even a hundred years ago, are now coming to fruition due to political forces in the Middle Eastern region. Today, Pastor Ken reminds us these prophecies are coming true today. He says the Pharoah’s wise men had more wisdom than the rulers today. His men acknowledged that the plagues were the hand of God. That was wise council. Today, the leaders have turned Egypt astray, and no wise men are leading the country toward the one true God.
Prior to the Messiah’s second coming, prophecy teaches that Egypt will have many problems. Today, Pastor Ken reminds us of these events to come. The Bible says there will be feuding and insurrection between the Egyptians, which is happening today with the Muslim Brotherhood. There is also a reference to the Egyptians turning to idols, and many have become Muslims, which is idol worship. The Bible speaks of the Nile drying up and crops dying. There is not a good future in store for Egypt.
There will always be those who claim to be sovereign or who pretend to be gods. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds us of the Egyptians, who had many gods, and learned through trials, that Yahweh was the one true God. God was referred to as the “cloud rider.” When confronted by Caiaphas, Jesus said that he was the “cloud rider.” Caiaphas would have known that was a reference to the one true God. Those who worship false gods will be destroyed, but God preserves those who worship Him.
God will eventually destroy His enemies. In today’s message, Pastor Ken shares the battle of Judah against the Syrians. In one night, the Angel of the Lord conquered Syria and preserved His people. In the same way, God will send Christ to end the battle of the Beasts’ armies against Israel in the end times. Overnight, the Angel of the Lord will surround the nation and give a death blow to God’s enemies. Just as Yahweh protected Judah from the Syrians, there will be complete destruction of God’s enemies.
In many of the Old Testament books, the word "rivers" refers to armies. Today, Pastor Ken explains this idiom and how it is used in prophetic history. He cites several references to these armies or rivers to demonstrate how Gentile nations have positioned themselves against the nation of Israel. These armies are powerful, and cruel and seek to conquer and destroy Israel. They were real in Biblical times and are also prophetic of the end times. We are warned to be vigilant of their presence and danger.
Imagine what a day that will be - when Jesus again sets His feet in Jerusalem! Pastor Ken, today, teaches us that when this occurs, all the false ways to God will be washed away. No one will say that Allah and Jehovah are equal. No one will think that all roads lead to heaven. People will recognize it's through Jesus alone that we get right with God. The truth will shine as brightly as the sun. Try to imagine it. Let's rid ourselves of falsely approaching God on our terms. Instead, find Him on His terms.
Is that where you are? Are you worn out trying to fix your problems your way? Today, Pastor Ken tells you that Jesus offers peace when you’re willing to give up and let Him fix your problems. That's what God is after. He brings trouble to drive you closer to Him. Why would anyone turn to Him if they never had any problems? He knows how to get your attention and He's good at it. If you’re tired of running your life your way, why not surrender to Jesus and try His way? It'll be the best decision you've ever made.
We tend to think we’re self-sufficient. However, today, Pastor Ken teaches us that living in faith means that we face the facts and deal with our sin. We live a lie when we reject God's help and attempt to handle our lives without Him. Our pride gets in the way of our salvation. We face real consequences when we reject God's way and try to make our own way. There's no other path to heaven except what God has provided through Jesus Christ. The sooner a person accepts that truth, the better off he or she will be.
There seems to be injustice and corruption pressing from every side these days. Do you long to see God's righteousness and justice come to Earth? What a day that will be! In his message today, Pastor Ken reminds you of God's promise to put Jesus on David's throne to rule justly. God's love demands justice. He wouldn't be loving if He didn't rule rightly. It’s hard to imagine, but one day Jesus will bring justice to His enemies. Never forget that God is still in control, and He will have His way on Earth.
Who can turn God's hand away from His purposes? Certainly, Pastor Ken's reminder today is great news. God has purposed in His heart to destroy Satan on the hills of Israel one day. It's hard to imagine what an Earth reconciled to God will be like. We're so used to living in a world full of corruption. But God promises to bring His Kingdom fully to the Earth. What a day that will be! We can trust God to do these things. Make a note to not forget that God sees the end from the beginning, and knows what He's doing.
Does that blow your mind, too? When you think about it, it’s incredible and amazing. Pastor Ken explains it beautifully today when he says that God, who holds ultimate power, is interested in each one of us personally. God can't wait for us to be with Him in Heaven. How awesome is that? And to think that we can access God anytime, anywhere, by simply reaching out to Him in prayer. When we call out to Him, He runs to be with us. Let's not ignore Him but turn to embrace The One Who created us and loves us.
Wow, can you imagine witnessing Jesus' glory? That would change how you view Jesus. Today, Pastor Ken describes Jesus’ bold attack against Satan during the Transfiguration. Here Jesus showed His disciples that He was God. When we think about Jesus, do we see Him as God? Many times, we see Jesus as our own private good luck charm. We carry Him around and use Him as we wish. Let's instead experience transformation by seeing Him in all His glory.
What about you? Do you reflect God's glory? Or are you impressed by your own beauty? Pastor Ken, today, notes that Satan took pride in what he thought was his own beauty. However, God is The One who is beautiful, and Lucifer simply reflected that. We, too, can easily get caught up in this same thinking. If we aren't careful, we can confuse God's glory with our own glory. When we do this, we're stealing from God. Let's remember that God’s the only One who deserves praise! He’s so beautiful!
Do you think that The Bible is old-fashioned and needs re-thought? Did God change His mind since He wrote The Bible? In his message today, Pastor Ken declares that The Bible is still what God thinks. He didn't change His mind to fit the way we think. Some folks today twist what God's Word says to conform to their thinking. But we really don't have the authority to change what God said and meant. Let's remember, that God is the standard to which we will be compared.
If you look at social media, you’ll notice something very unusual. Let’s first look for “#SelfLove.” This hashtag has over 26 million posts. If you look for “#JesusChrist” you’ll see that Jesus Christ has only around 3 million posts. And THIS is what’s wrong with society… The world values the false teaching of self-love over the name of Jesus. So what can you and I do about this? In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you to guard your hearts because the enemy will do anything to keep you away from God’s glory.
Do you ever take a second to look at people who serve God? Whether it’s at church or in their everyday lives, people who serve God for His glory have the Holy Spirit radiating all around them. But what happens when their goal changes? What if they weren’t serving God but serving themselves? The same thing happened to someone you might know as Lucifer, but his heart changed for the worse. In today’s message, Pastor Ken warns you of what happens when you stop serving God and start serving yourself.
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, and God gave them one rule: eat from any tree in the garden, but NOT from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. One day, a serpent persuades both Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden Tree, breaking God’s one rule. From that day forward, Satan has been in the ear of humanity… deceiving and keeping us from God’s plan for our lives. So, in today’s message, Pastor Ken warns you that the enemy is real; his only goal is to keep you away from God.
What would be the best part about living in the United States? The freedom to choose! In many countries, you don’t have the right or the liberty to pick certain aspects of your life. And that’s the beauty of being human: free will. When God created you, He gave YOU the option to pick, say, and do whatever you want. Why? Because God chose you. Ultimately, God created you for His glory. But because of His love for you, God allows you to come and go. So today, Pastor Ken encourages you to choose Christ.
If someone told you that you were about to miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime, would you keep listening? Today, Pastor Ken wants you to hear something that might change your life. If you do not have Jesus Christ in your heart before you pass away, you will not go to heaven. You will be eternally separated from God. And this is the type of message that people are afraid to tell you, a message of truth. So today, Pastor Ken reminds you to give your life to Jesus Christ because time is short.
Let me ask you a few questions: how many people in your life would do anything for you? How many of those people would drop everything to be at your side? And out of ALL those people, how many would lay down their lives for you? I bet that list you got shorter with every question. But someone is willing to take a beating for you: someone who took all your punishments and even your penalty of death. His name is Jesus Christ, and today, Pastor Ken tells you that He died for your sins, and rose again three days later!
Do you have someone in your life you long to be with? I think it’s safe to say that everyone has significant others in their lives. Whether it’s your spouse or your family, relationships are good. But did you know that there’s someone who wants a relationship with you? The Word of God says that when you come near Jesus, He will come near you. So in today’s message, Pastor Ken continues through Isaiah’s visions. There will soon come a day when Jesus will return for His family on earth.
There are many different prophecies regarding Babylon all throughout the Bible. Most scholars hold the futurist interpretation of Revelation, which sees Babylon the Great as an evil world system, based in Babylon (possibly signifying Rome) and controlled by the Antichrist, during the last days before Jesus’ return. As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series, he’ll be encouraging you to study the Word daily and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus regardless of what's happening in the world.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be explaining how Isaiah's prophecies have come to pass, as well as how future prophecies will imminently be fulfilled. Babylon is mentioned from Genesis to Revelation, as it rises from its rebellious beginnings to become a symbol of the Antichrist’s evil world system. God promised to punish the king of Babylon and his nation for all the wrong they have done in Zion. Ultimately, all evil will be judged!
Jesus has ultimate authority and power over all creation, including being more powerful than Satan and his demons. There's a huge misconception in the world today, many believe Jesus and the devil are co-equals in power, but this can’t be further from the truth! Today, Pastor Ken will be reminding you that Jesus said, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” when the 70 disciples return and give their report. They are joyful and a little surprised that “even the demons submit to us in your name”.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be explaining to you how Jesus has been given the authority to judge by the Father. In John 5:22–23, He says, “Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father”. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus brought judgment to Satan. There will also be a Time when unbelievers will ultimately be judged by the Lord Jesus!
Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how when Jerusalem fell, many of the people were carried away to Babylon, but some of the people fled to Egypt, thinking they would be safe there. In the book of Isaiah, God is promising to call back to the Promised Land the descendants of those who went down to Egypt. The people of Israel are commanded to forsake any idolatrous habits they may have picked up while in Egypt and to return to the Promised Land. You too, as a Christian must forsake the evil deeds of this world!
The millennial kingdom is the future reign of Jesus Christ on earth as He sits on David’s throne in Jerusalem. As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be explaining how everyone who enters that kingdom will be redeemed by God and therefore righteous. Among those redeemed will be two distinct groups of people: those with glorified physical bodies and those with natural, earthly bodies. If you have this expectation and hope, keep yourself pure as He is pure!
When we’re hurt, abused, humiliated, or treated unjustly, we naturally want the offender to experience what we felt. We demand our “pound of flesh” and may not rest till we get it. This is the crux of many movies and seems like the right thing to do. If someone shows us kindness, we’re often eager to repay him or her. Why shouldn’t we repay the wrong that is done to us, too? Today, Pastor Ken will be reminding you that scripture has a different view, and God says, “Vengeance is mine.”
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Isaiah, he’ll be challenging you to keep your focus on eternity and seek Jesus first and foremost. Of course, you need to focus on the temporal because you live on Earth, but where are your priorities? Too often Christians get entangled with the affairs of this world, including politics, at the expense of obeying the Great Commission and keeping the same priorities as the Lord. King Jesus is the only leader who is worthy of all our attention.
The Bible describes humility as meekness, lowliness, and absence of self. Humility is a heart attitude, not merely an outward demeanor. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how you may put on an outward show of humility but still have a heart full of pride and arrogance. Jesus said that those who are “poor in spirit” would have the kingdom of heaven. Being poor in spirit means that only those who admit to an absolute bankruptcy of spiritual worth will inherit eternal life.
Today, Pastor Ken teaches us that God has not abandoned the nation of Israel. Just as He protected Israel in the Old Testament and fulfilled His promise to make Israel a nation again after 2,000 years, He will also protect and redeem His people in the end times. At the end of the Great Tribulation, Israel will be surrounded by the armies of the Antichrist, but God will fight for Israel and destroy their enemies. This should give you hope in God. Just as God is faithful to Israel, He will be faithful to you also.
It’s so hard to fully place our trust in God instead of the things of this world, isn’t it? With our jobs, finances, and relationships, we can at least see them, feel them, and to some extent, control them. But God is invisible, intangible, and cannot be controlled. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that God is the only one you should place your trust in. Everything and everyone else in this world will fail you at some point. God is always faithful and all-powerful. He will never fail you, forget about you, or disappoint you.
Have you ever found yourself in a situation with a group of non-Christians that made you compromise on your values? You knew doing something went against God’s commands, but you felt peer pressured to give in. That’s why the Bible tells us not to be unequally yoked with non-believers. Pastor Ken teaches that this applies not only to marriage but to any area in your life that requires strong commitments to other people. God doesn’t want you to be in situations that will lead you to compromise your integrity.
That definitely stings for me. If I’m honest, I’m much more knowledgeable about my spouse and my friends than I am about Jesus. What about you? Are you spending quality time with Jesus by reading His word and praying to Him? Today, Pastor Ken teaches that in a world that has so many wrong opinions about God, we as Christians need to have a correct understanding of who He is. The only way we can do that is by knowing Him through the Bible and prayer. Take time today to know God more.
When you see the world today, you often wonder what’s going on. Nations war against each other, poverty and injustice are widespread, and the rich and powerful seem to get away with anything. While it might seem like utter chaos, Pastor Ken teaches that God is still very much in control and actively working. He doesn’t ignore what’s happening, but He is working to redeem the broken people and situations of this world for His glory. He is also working actively and intimately in your life for your good!
Our kingdom and God’s kingdom are always in conflict. Just like the builders of the Tower of Babel, we too want to make a name for ourselves. We strive for control and security. Throughout history, we’ve seen this on a larger scale, with the rise of kingdoms, nations, and empires fighting for wealth and power. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that ultimately, God is the one who is in control, and His kingdom will be victorious. Today, choose to lay down your crown and submit to His authority.
Can you see the fire of wickedness burning all around you? The Bible says wickedness burns like an out-of-control fire. Is anyone trying to put it out? Today, Pastor Ken explains that this fire is so bad, and so obvious, that it compels God to do something about it. The smoke from the burning wickedness of our day rises to His nostrils. God must and will combat this fire to preserve His Creation. He’s faithful. Let's pray that God will drop His plumb line upon our nation to set things right again.
Are you like the Israelites back then? Do you recognize God's judgment when it comes, or are you unaware? Pastor Ken teaches us today that the folks back then didn't recognize God's judgment when it was right in front of them. Do we recognize God’s judgment? Those who see an event today as God's judgment are ridiculed. But it takes a wise believer to understand what God is up to. God uses disease, famine, economic downturns, and natural disasters as judgment. Let's discern wisely.
Does this sound familiar? How much different is our culture today from that of Israel back then? Today, Pastor Ken compares us to the immoral times of Isaiah 9. There are stunning similarities. The evil was so prevalent that God had to do something. What He did was to provoke Israel's enemies to conquer Israel. This was God's judgment then, what will be God's judgment now? The evil in our culture is so rampant that it calls for God to do something. Let’s pray for God’s righteousness to prevail.
Did you hear that? The long-awaited coming of God's Kingdom on Earth doesn't depend on you. In his message today, Pastor Ken teaches us that God's zeal will bring His Kingdom to Earth. He will do it, we won't. What freedom that realization brings. We can't mess up or harm God's plan to reign on Earth. So, don't despair when all seems lost. God has a plan, and He will fulfill His promises. Let's continue to do what God told us to do, that is go forth and make disciples until we no longer can.
Are you walking in darkness? Have you seen the light? In his message today, Pastor Ken reminds us that those walking in darkness are the ones who are leading the nations away from Jesus. Before we found Jesus, we were just like those walking in darkness. It's our commission, as ones now walking in the light, to take The Light to those still in darkness. Let's ask God to bring us opportunities to shed light into a darkened heart today.
How are you doing? How are you dealing with all the turmoil in the world these days? Pastor Ken explains today that it’s our choice either to trust God's promises or to live in despair. Of course, the best plan is to rely on God's promises. God has a plan that He is working out right before our eyes. Behind all the turmoil of these days a spiritual battle rages. We must decide if we'll trust God, even when we don't understand what God’s doing. Let's remember God said that He is in control.
God promises to protect you, but what are you doing to protect your heart? The Bible isn’t just a book, it’s a place for you to run to when your soul is in trouble. It’s where you can find refuge and strength in your times of need. It’s not a dead old book. It’s alive and you are called to be meditating on it. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to encourage you to listen and read God’s word. The more you read, the stronger your faith becomes, and the more you have to lean on in your times of need.
Have you ever heard the term spiritual warfare? It’s not some mythological term, it’s actually a very real and scary war that is being fought that we can’t even see! God and Satan are constantly at battle behind the scenes. They are playing tug of war with our hearts. When God is pulling hard at your heart, Satan is pulling in the opposite direction. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that spiritual warfare is real and it’s happening right now. Don’t let your guard down, but put on the armor of God.
Are you listening to the voice of God or the voice of man? It’s hard to believe in God when you are surrounded by unbelievers. It’s not impossible, but it takes a tremendous amount of faith to believe in something when the people around you all think that it's a bunch of nonsense. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that it’s important to surround yourselves with people of faith. If you are constantly around people who don’t believe in God, they are going to feed you ungodly truths.
What does God have to do to get your attention? It can be easy to miss the signs that God puts in front of us if we aren’t carefully looking and watching for them. In the case of King Ahaz, God had a monument built so big that there is no way he could have missed it. What has God put in front of you that you’re missing? In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to remind you to be on the lookout for the signs that God places in your life. If you seek God, you won’t be able to miss His guidance.
God gives each of us an opportunity to receive the gift of grace. We can’t earn it, we don’t deserve it, but we are freely given the opportunity to receive it. King Ahaz rejected God’s grace and that led to the destruction of a nation. He worshiped other gods built temples against Him, and defied His instructions. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to encourage you to live with God and not against Him. God wants to give you the gift of grace, all you have to do is be willing to accept Jesus as the Lord of your life.
Does the Christian lifestyle seem pretty boring to you? You can’t get drunk, party, and have sex with whoever you’d like. You feel like you are missing out on a whole side of “fun” that life has to offer. This is the mentality that Satan wants you to believe. All of the things that culture sees as exciting and fun are actually paths that lead to death and destruction. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that sin makes you a slave, but Jesus came so that you can be set free from the bondage of sin forever.
Do you think that you are able to succeed in life by your own will? Being prideful and self-centered is one of the most dangerous sins because you are directly defying God. You are telling God that He isn’t good enough and that your ways are better than His. Seems silly when you say it out loud doesn’t it? In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to encourage you to lean into God. Don’t get prideful and think you can do everything on your own. God is there and ready to help you in your times of need.
Do you ever make a decision based on fear or urgency without seeking God’s will? Today, Pastor Ken warns of decisions made in terror or fear. When you are not trusting in God, your human reasoning can paralyze you, or result in poor decisions. In the Old Testament, when the Canaanites heard of God’s power, they became fearful and lost their courage. When believers are not looking to God for wisdom, they lose their courage and their effectiveness for Him. “Do not fear,” is a timeless message.
When you see God’s judgment towards our nation, do you ever want to give up? When people mock the word of God and those who follow God, do you get discouraged? In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds believers that God does disperse judgment to those who reject him, and he reminds all of us that those who reject God’s word will grow harder and harder in the heart. However, God instructed Isaiah to continue sharing His message regardless of the destruction and desolation that he witnessed.
Do you desire to attend a church that makes you feel good or one that teaches the pure truth of God’s word, even if it is not what you want to hear? In today’s message, Pastor Ken warns us of the Laodicean church as described in the book of Revelation. That church was more concerned with wealth and culture than it was with following God. It was the church of the “end of the age.” Those churches do not teach the Bible today. They teach what is popular. Be careful what church you follow.
Is the message of Isaiah relevant today? In today’s message, Pastor Ken compares our culture of people who are not following God, to what he calls a digital Babylon. Our nation is as unfaithful as the people to whom Isaiah was delivering God’s message. No longer does our culture view the Bible as the central authority over society. People today view the Bible as only one authority to interpret human experience, at best. Most ignore it. We must return to the authority of God’s word.
When God forgave Isaiah of his iniquities it was comprehensive. In today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds us that God’s forgiveness is complete. When God forgives us, it covers our past, present, and future sins. He says our past has been dealt with and our future will be different. This story of Isaiah is a beautiful picture of grace given by God’s son. God takes care of the sin problem and forgives all our iniquities, just as He made Isaiah “clean.” Don’t live underneath the guilt of sin. Be forgiven.
Have you ever wondered why the cherubim said, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” and repeated the word three times? Wasn’t one time enough? In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains the importance of the repetition of this word. In the Hebrew culture, three witnesses were needed for confirmation. Thus, the three “Holy’s” were the ultimate proof of God’s holiness. It could also refer to the Godhead; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that each is holy. Regardless, there was nothing more holy than God.
Can you imagine what it would be like to be in the presence of God and to actually see Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Ken says that throughout the Old Testament, God reveals himself through His Son. Sometimes He is called the angel of the Lord or appears in the cloud by day and pillar of fire at night to the Israelites. As Isaiah is worshiping in the temple, His eyes are opened. He sees the unseen realm and receives a revelation from God. The pre-incarnate Jesus Christ appears to Isaiah.
Have you ever started out on one mission for God, and then found God leading you to change or enhance that calling? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches about God’s call on Isaiah’s life and the expansion of his ministry. Isaiah had already been warning and preaching to a largely unresponsive audience. God amends or maybe even reaffirms His call on Isaiah’s life to share a very distinct message. Like the prophet, we are commissioned to be a witness for our Lord and we should obey.
God doesn’t need any man specifically to carry out His will and do great things for Him. He doesn’t need anything. He’s God. But, He’s not just going to make mountains move through you if you don’t first come to Him in surrender. Pastor Ken’s going to show you the glimpse of God we get from Isaiah today, and that He has good plans for you thought out in Heaven by Him and His council. Nothing else can compare to the joy of knowing Him and knowing your future is secure for eternity because you have faith in Him.
Isaiah had a powerful and detailed message for God’s people. Through his song and his prophecies, he made God’s message clear that they needed to work on their hearts. They once followed God but turned their backs on Him, and now they had to suffer the consequences unless they turned back to Him in repentance. It’s the same thing we must do today. Sin always ends in eventual destruction, but a life surrendered to Christ is one that’s free of the fear of death and with an eternal peace and joy.
There’s nothing brutal about following God’s Word and staying faithful to Him. Although it’s definitely not easy to always choose Him over sin, it is rewarding. Do you want God to use you to the fullest extent possible? Do you want to see God provide your needs in ways that only He can, and to guide your steps when you don’t know what to do? Today, Pastor Ken’s going to show you how simple it is! It’s surrender: surrendering your life to Jesus to let Him work in and through you and doing what He says.
Isaiah had a message that was simple, but important. God sent the message to His children that they turned their backs on Him again. They followed false teachings that were contrary to the laws God had laid out for them. Today, Pastor Ken is going to show you how important that message still is for us today, in an age where there are constant distractions and temptations hurled at you by the enemy to trip you up in your walk with God. It’s important like never before to stay rooted firmly in God’s Word.
God can and will move in amazing ways in you if you let Him, but it takes action on our part, too. It takes surrender to Him and a willingness to give up your own temporary pleasures to follow wherever He leads you. Today, Pastor Ken is going to show you the song that Isaiah wrote to God’s people when they started leaving God to serve idols, and the betrayal they put God through. Where once blessings were poured out and promised, now is the looming punishment that will come unless they turn back to Him.
Isaiah was a prophet and a man of God bringing a message to repent from their sin, and God’s children didn’t listen to Him. He brought to them a song, as Pastor Ken’s going to show you today, and sang it for them. What the people liked at first, however, turned out to be telling the story of their rejection of God’s love and their pursuit of sin instead. They rejected God once again after He so graciously had blessed them and supplied all their needs out of His great love for them.
Do you struggle with pride? Being prideful is a dangerous sin, yet it’s one of the hardest to come to terms with. We all sin and we all fall short of the glory of God. So if you think that you have it all figured out, the truth is that you don’t. Nobody is sinless and nobody can say that they are a better Christian than another person. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to encourage you to do some self-examination. Are you constantly seeking God and denying yourself? If not, it’s time to surrender to God.
Is it a sin to wear makeup and fancy clothing? Well, it depends. It depends on your heart's intention while doing it. Are you trying to attract other men and women for lustful reasons? Are you trying to attract attention to yourself? Or do you simply appreciate fashion and beauty? In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to challenge you to think about how you present yourself to God. Dressing up and looking nice isn’t a sin, as long as you are doing it in a way that is honoring and pleasing to God.
Does God look at you differently depending on what you wear or look like? Of course not. God doesn’t judge a person based on their appearance. He knows your heart. He knows your thoughts. He doesn’t care that you wear expensive jewelry or clothing. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that God doesn’t worry about your physical appearance, but He does care about your spiritual posture towards Him. If you are dressing to impress others, don’t let it get in the way of your relationship with God.
Pastor Ken illustrates in his message today what happens when followers of Jesus do just that. Follow Him in words, thoughts, and actions. In the book of Isaiah, Israel needed to trust and accept what God was telling them, making changes where necessary. because if not the nations of Judah and Israel were headed for hard, hard times. For a complete undoing of their way of life. With repentant hearts, they needed to turn back to God. What do we need to change today? In our personal lives and in our nation.
A leader leads. A good leader listens and inspires, and is competent with how things work. Today Pastor Ken’s message talks about the different leaders of Judah who were young and immature. They weren’t quite ready for all that responsibility. This caused the nation some undue struggles. I mean, really, it’d be like putting a baby in charge of watching an older sibling. It just doesn’t work that way. Do we see this today in our world? Let’s be the mature voice in the dark that stands for truth before it’s too late.
Judah’s behavior didn’t go unnoticed by God. They were so distracted and preoccupied with different influences they couldn’t even hear Isaiah’s message from God. Have you been there before? Do you have to keep telling yourself to focus so you won’t be distracted? I know I do. Unlike Judah, let’s pay attention to what Jesus is telling us and not be distracted by the things of this world. Be mentally and spiritually in the moment. Listen for God’s voice. This is Pastor Ken’s message today.
Judah did a lot of things that weren’t good. Their hearts weren’t in the right place. Their sacrifices to God were fake. Yet God, like a father with his child, commissioned Isaiah to deliver a word in hopes that they would return to Him. I wonder how long it took them to realize you can’t put man…human flesh… above God, and that there are consequences for a rebellious attitude. In his message today, Pastor Ken talks about how different events in Israel and Judah brought about judgment and changed the nation as a whole.
The book of Isaiah is full of prophecy. It concentrated on informing a rebellious nation what would be coming down the pike. Now, sometimes as a parent, I do the same thing. If they’re pushing boundaries and making poor decisions it’s only natural for me to communicate what will happen in the future. And it’s usually because I want them to change their behavior. Pastor Ken explains today that Judah was being like that child. They turned away from God. And everything was about to change.
Imagine a crystal clear, cloudless, blue sky. Life is good. And then it happens…a prediction of an incoming storm with the potential to turn really nasty. I would think ‘Yeah, right. That’s nuts. No way. I wonder if the people of Judah and Israel thought the same thing when they heard Isaiah’s prophecy concerning this new global change that would occur with the coming of Jesus. Today Pastor Ken explains that in more detail. Just as God spoke through Isaiah, so He’s still speaking today. Are you listening?
Do you ever walk around in nature and just wonder how God created some of the places on the earth? The huge mountains, vast oceans, and covered forests are all glimpses into the creativity of the God we serve. We aren’t meant to live in giant skyscraper buildings. We are meant to live among God’s creation, just like Adam and Eve did in the garden. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that one day we will all return to the garden. Keep that in mind as you walk in this corrupt and evil world.
We are all under the curse of sin. You were born and hard-wired to sin. In order to get rid of that curse, you have to be willing to lay down your own sinful life, just like Jesus did. Jesus died a brutal death on the cross for all mankind's sin. He laid down His own life so that you can have the chance to receive eternal life. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that Jesus didn’t just die for the human race, He died for you personally. He longs for a relationship with you, all you have to do is be willing to receive.
Have you ever drunk a soda that’s been left out for a few days? It’s gross, right? It’s lost all its flavoring, and its bubbles, and it just doesn’t taste right. There are many churches that can be compared to the flat soda. They teach watered down, and unbiblical messages of the bible that don’t give honor to God. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you to keep your eyes peeled for ministries that are skewing what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Stand up for what the bible says, not what culture says.
Traditions do not necessarily guarantee us certain “results”. Just because we pray a certain prayer, eat certain foods, or go to church on a specific day, does not mean we are guaranteed a relationship with Jesus. Yes, those things are important IF the Lord uses and guides you in that direction, but ONLY if HE, the Lord, Directs it! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to simply be a Christian…no fancy rules or regulations, simply, faithfully, and unceasingly follow Jesus with all that you are!
There are few things that we truly know as a fact. Two of those things are that God does not change and the Bible doesn’t change. What God said and meant, all those years ago, He still means today, tomorrow, and forever. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will remind you that just because the times and society change does not mean God changes with it. The Lord does not adapt or give in to social pressures! The root of what was a sin then is still the same now, the only thing that has changed is us.
The Lord wants to speak to you and He desperately wants you to hear and accept Him as Lord and Savior! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will challenge you to stop in the middle of your busy schedule, to really slow down and hear what God has to say. Because as we see here in Isaiah, the matter isn’t if God speaks or not. He does. Plain and simple. The deciding factor is if YOU are willing to listen, hear Him out, and take what He has to say to heart. Let it truly change, challenge, and shape you to be a better Christian!
As it is with almost every book we see in the Bible, the main concept is Jesus. That is fairly obvious and evident! The book of Isaiah is a little extra special in its theme and details on Jesus! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to look through Isaiah and other books of the Bible and see the perfect theme of the love and life of Jesus Christ! Is there anything else we could possibly want to read on? Jesus is the ultimate goal, so why wouldn’t we want to read and know everything we can?!
Sometimes when we Christians start in church ministry or start serving in areas of the church, we often do so at a time when our life is good. We think maybe we can keep up this good streak of nothing crazy happening, but the truth is, life has ups AND downs. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to look at the life of Isaiah, he had plenty of struggles in life and yet he continued to faithfully obey God’s calling on his life to be a prophet, to influence people back then, and even influence us today!
When we read about prophecies and people of God warning us about what is to come in the future, it can be hard to comprehend how they ALL can be true. But, when we read the context around those sections, we can clearly see in the rest of the entire Bible that everything else has come true then we can probably play it safe and believe in what we’re being told. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will lay out the book of Isaiah and explain who he is and how we can practically learn from his life as a prophet!
We live in a world full of sin. Even though we may try our best, we often tend to fall into temptation or addiction and end up in the grip of sin. The sinful nature continues to be within us, even after we receive salvation. But have you ever wondered what will become of your sinful nature, once life as we know it is over? Today, Pastor Ken tells you about the millennial earth. When the millennial kingdom comes about, all of us who gained salvation will be sin-free, because we’re a new creation, set apart from sin!
When we're given the opportunity to lead, we often have a tendency to start thinking highly of ourselves. We can have an inclination to grow arrogant, begin micromanaging others, and occasionally even abuse our power. However, does God find this behavior acceptable? Today, Pastor Ken reminds you how leadership is a gift that God gives to you. It is He who bestows leadership in your life. God expects you to be accountable for the people under you, as well as for yourself, when you have that gift.
We can have a tendency to complete everything so that we don't miss church on Sunday. However, even when we put in a lot of work, there are moments when we miss church or find reasons not to go. However, have you ever wondered what will happen after the tribulation period is over? In today's message, Pastor Ken will give you some insights about the millennial temple. The temple gates will remain closed for the remainder of the week and will only be opened on Saturdays and new moon days.
When we are in church, we praise and worship God. When we glorify God in spirit, we may sense His presence, even though we can’t see Him. However, have you ever wondered what would happen when the tribulation period is over? In today's message, Pastor Ken discusses the many sections of the millennial temple. God will create a new Earth, once the tribulation period is over, on which He will establish His own Kingdom and a temple where He will dwell. We finally will be able to see God on His throne!
The Israelites were required to offer a certain animal as a sacrifice in the Old Testament, in order to cover a particular type of sin. However, have you ever questioned why animal sacrifice is no longer necessary? Pastor Ken explains today how Jesus delivered you from the grip of sin. Jesus gave Himself as the perfect sacrifice on the cross, taking upon Himself all of our sins. All you have to do is place your faith in Jesus and seek forgiveness from the Father, in order to break free from your sins.
When we hear of God's kingdom, our minds usually bring up images of God and Jesus in heaven, surrounded by angels. But did you know that God will set up His kingdom on the new Earth? In today's message, Pastor Ken shares about the Millennial temple. On the new earth, God will establish His Kingdom, after the time of tribulation. He'll even construct the Millennial temple, to house His glory and presence. How thrilled are you as a believer, knowing you will one day see God sitting on His throne?
The book of Ezekiel tells us about the events that are to occur in the second coming of Jesus. But have you ever wondered where you as a believer will be at that time? In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you about the events that are to occur in the second coming of Jesus. All believers of Christ will be raptured away long before the second coming. But all believers will return with Him, and be a witness, as the world trembles in the presence of our Lord Jesus! Have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior?
Jesus came to this world, He took our sins, died on the cross, and rose again. Because of Jesus, we can now accept His grace and be freed from sin. But does it all happen on its own? In today's message, Pastor Ken talks about the importance of owning up to your shortcomings. Through salvation, God has allowed you to seek and receive forgiveness. What you can do is acknowledge your sins, accept God’s forgiveness, and ask for His help and guidance. This allows for the space in your life to let God in.
In the world in which we live, Satan is our powerful foe. We can't see the fight that is always raging in the spiritual world. However, how can you be certain that you are protected from the enemy's attacks? Pastor Ken explains today why it is important to keep your body free from addiction and sin. For you, the Holy Spirit is always engaged in war with the enemy. When you overcome your addictions, you make room for the Holy Spirit to work, and defeat all plans through which the enemy intends to bring you down!
The Israelites used to offer animal sacrifices to God in the Old Testament as a means of atoning for their transgressions. But Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice and bore the weight of all our sins by dying on the cross. We partake in communion as a reminder of what Jesus did for us. But what happens when Jesus returns a second time? Today, Pastor Ken explains the events on the millennial Earth. We'll offer animal sacrifices, but this time, they'll be in remembrance of what Jesus accomplished for you!
We might think we are perfect, but the reality is that we are born with flaws. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered the world. Because of our shortcomings, we are unable to connect in a deeper relationship with God. But do you know how Jesus saved you? Today, Pastor Ken tells you how salvation helped you regain your relationship with the Father. When Jesus died on the cross, He defeated sin and took the punishment for that sin, in your place. Through Jesus, you can now have eternal life with God!
Have you ever wondered what would happen when Jesus returns a second time? Today, Pastor Ken discusses the things that will happen when Jesus returns. According to the book of Ezekiel, there will be powerful earthquakes that will shake every country. Along with Himself, Jesus will come with all the holy ones, who were taken up in the rapture with Him. There is not much time left. Jesus will return soon! Many people in this world are still unaware of Jesus. How can you begin to share the Gospel with others?
Like the Israelites, we occasionally have a tendency to reject God and act on our own free will, rather than depending on Him. However, does God simply abandon us? Pastor Ken explains in today's message how God consistently redirects His people back to the right path. God will always have mercy on the people of Israel because He loves them, even if they turn their backs on Him. Though you may frequently stray from God, He will always love you, and will give you opportunities to return to the path He has for you!
The book of Ezekiel describes how God will perfectly judge Gog for their deeds. We often make decisions in our daily lives, and most of the time, those decisions end up taking us down the wrong path. Pastor Ken explains in today's message how God can guide you in making the correct choices. God will judge you according to the choices you make in life. Because of this truth, you should rely on God, seeking His wisdom and guidance for your life. By doing this, you can be confident of what God thinks of you.
The Bible describes how Lucifer's arrogance caused him to be exiled from heaven. His goal has been to overthrow God and replace Him ever since. The enemy even attempts to hurt us in life by causing us to go through difficulties. Will he ever succeed, though? In today's message, Pastor Ken tells you about the schemes of Satan. Because of his omnipotence, our God can and will vanquish Satan. In your time of need, God is looking out for you, and will not allow Satan to win the war.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series, he’ll be explaining the sovereignty of God and how we can’t completely comprehend all aspects of the Lord because we are finite and He is infinite. Scripture is clear that God knows the future and has total sovereign control. The Bible also says that we must choose God or be eternally separated from Him. We are held responsible for our actions. It is impossible for you to fully understand the dynamics of a holy God molding and shaping the will of man.
Are you living as though Jesus can come back at any time? One of the tell-tale signs of a Christian who actually believes in the imminent return of Jesus is that they are living a pure and holy lifestyle. Today, Pastor Ken will be encouraging you to study prophecy and its fulfillment and be excited for the Second Coming of the Lord, not ashamed and scared. If you're frightened at the thought of His return, then you're living in sin and need to repent, it’s as simple as that. He wants to heal your backslidings.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Ezekiel, he’ll be explaining one of the End Times battles of Gog and Magog trying to plunder and take over Israel. If you watch the news or listen to current events, Israel always seems to be the focal point of world events. Israel is constantly under attack and there’s always an extra emphasis on what's going on in that special land. The Bible makes it clear that Jerusalem will be a stumbling block for the nations, especially during the End Times.
As Christians, we’re all called and sent out by God for a special mission just as Ezekiel was. The biggest difference between you and Ezekiel is that you have the Holy Spirit living within you, and he didn’t! Today, Pastor Ken will be challenging you to obey the Great Commission Jesus gave to all His followers, and to no longer be entangled with the affairs of this world. One of the biggest reasons Christians don’t preach the Gospel and make disciples is that they are too focused on their temporal lives on Earth.
If you are a believer in Jesus, you know that God is almighty and all-powerful. But what about the rest of the world? Most people look at the Bible as a fairy tale story that could be used to explain life and human existence. They see the Gospel as nothing more than just a book. But we know that there is more to the story and that Jesus is going to return to finish it once and for all. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to remind you to be ready for Jesus’ return so that you aren’t surprised like the rest of the world.
Nothing can separate you from the love of God if you are a believer in Jesus. That’s right… nothing! The devil can’t touch you, unseen spirits can’t touch you, and no evil thing will come into your house if you have God protecting you. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to encourage you to remain in God’s steadfast love. Remembering that He is always present and is always there to protect you from evil and darkness. He promises to keep you safe from any evil that tries to rob your joy.
Have you ever read a chapter of the bible and are left utterly confused about what you just read? Don’t fear! The Old Testament can be very complex and confusing at times, especially if you aren’t a bible scholar. How do you know what is imagery and what is real? Who is Gog and why is God bringing destruction upon him? In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to help you get a better understanding behind the meaning of Gog. Listen carefully as you will begin to really understand why God is against Gog.
Have you ever read a story in the Bible and questioned how it could even be true? Most stories we read out of the Bible sound like they could be a make-believe tale. That’s because God is a supernatural being. He doesn’t conform to what science tells us is true. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that the stories from the Old Testament really happened! God really showed up in supernatural ways in order to protect His people, and keep His promises. He will do the same for you.
All throughout scripture, God uses imagery, places, and people to describe the evil and satanic forces. It can be hard to decipher if God is talking about a literal person, or if He is referring to Satan or another demonic presence. There are many opinions about these biblical prophecies, but it’s important to remember that God will win in the end. Today, Pastor Ken is going to help you look at the prophecies talked about in Ezekiel in order to get a better understanding of what is going to take place.
There are so many questions that God has left us. When will He return? When will all the biblical prophecies take place? These are questions that have puzzled even the most proficient bible scholars since the beginning of the Bible. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to encourage you that God left out some of the details intentionally. He doesn’t want Satan to know the time and place He is going to return. The truth is, it doesn’t matter to the believer. All you need to do is trust that He will return and anticipate it.
The study of the end times is a polarizing topic that commands the minds of many. We must be careful not to let it consume us, as Scripture only provides so much truth on the matter. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will highlight end times references in Ezekiel 37, and encourage listeners to rely on Scripture for interpretation. The study of this should push us towards Christ, and should never be used for personal gain. Be sure to always cross-check theories with the Word of God to ensure accuracy!
Every part of Scripture points to Jesus and the Gospel message of who He is and how He came to save. Today, Pastor Ken will look at the references to Jesus in Ezekiel 37. There is much Jesus did during His time on earth to prove He is the Son of God, but even still, many Jews did not believe. The only way to spend eternity with Him is to confess your sins and declare Jesus as Lord of your life. Have you acknowledged Jesus in your life, and committed to follow after Him for the rest of your days?
The story of Israel has been tumultuous at times, and it is still being written. God is not surprised by any of it, as He is at work orchestrating every detail. In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will show listeners where the disbanding of Israel began, and how God used Ezekiel to speak more prophecy. The Lord is in the business of restoration and reunification, and Israel may be the greatest example of that! How can you grow your understanding of history so you can better understand the happenings of our day?
Do you ever wonder what God has planned for His people? The Bible tells us through the works of God’s divinely inspired people. The teachers, the prophets, and even Jesus, who died for our sins, play a part in God’s plan. So the question that people want to know is, what now? In today’s message, Pastor Ken deep dives into the prophesies Ezekiel made and how they’re coming to life in these times. Today, you’ll learn How God uses His people to serve purposes greater than ever imagined.
As Christians, we realize a harsh reality. Not everyone who’s heard of Jesus will accept Him in their lives and will have to experience eternal separation from God. In today’s message, Pastor Ken continues through the Book of Ezekiel and arrives at one of the hardest truths a Christian can hear: without Jesus Christ, we are as good as dead. In the Bible, Jesus says no one can come through the Father except through Him. There is no other way. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light.
One must follow many steps to have a good relationship with someone. For instance, when you spend time together, you create a bond between the two of you. To make a connection with someone, you have to be devoted. God asks the same of you. Our relationship with God is that of a Father and child. When we seek God, we should desire Him with the same traits we have in any friendship, except He comes first. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you God wants that relationship with you.
There’s something special about the Word of God. When you read the Bible, you are communicating with God. God speaks to us through His Word, and we can talk to Him through our ability to pray. What happens when you remove the Word of God from your life? God stops speaking to you. In other ways, God can talk to us, such as revealed thoughts in prayer and through other believers, but God mainly talks to us through His Word. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you the importance of communicating with God.
Do you feel called to ministry? God gave us these spiritual gifts to use for a reason. Whether it’s the ability to teach or to sing, God calls every single one of His people to serve. The Bible tells us that every believer in Christ has at least one spiritual gift. With these gifts, there come expectations of us as followers of Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you that if you feel called to ministry, you MUST leave your sinful lifestyle behind; this is imperative to all who want to serve the Lord correctly.
We live in a world that encourages you to be the best version of yourself. It’s easy to ignore what you don’t see when it's all about self-help and self-love. The problem with society is that you aren’t wrong for living a lifestyle that contradicts what the Bible teaches. You’re more likely to be treated like there’s something wrong with you if you were to be open about your Christian lifestyle. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you the ugly truth: your sinful ways have got to stop. It’s time to get right with God.
It’s no secret that there is a lot of tension in the Middle East today. Israel is surrounded by its enemies, just like the Bible said it would be in the final days. In the last few days, the Bible mentions these birth pains that will show us the signs of when Jesus will return for His people. Over the last few weeks, rumors of wars have been rampant on social media. Pastor Ken warns us not about the nations but about who is controlling these nations. Who has more to gain from the destruction of God’s people?
Have you ever doubted God? While you don’t have to answer out loud, many Christians go through seasons in their life where they can’t help but wonder what God has in plan for their lives. God’s first step in His plan for us is simple: He will return for His family. If you’re new to Christianity, our God is a covenant God, meaning He upholds His end of the bargain. In today’s message, you’ll learn that God plans to restore the land. If you haven’t already, Pastor Ken tells you that it’s not too late to give your life to Jesus Christ.
Have you ever made a deal with a friend you shouldn’t have? You may love the people in your life, but we all know that one person always seems to drop the ball, and that's okay! Humans are not perfect, and even though we may mess up from time to time, we have a tendency to fix our mistakes. Unlike humans, God does not drop the ball. God never makes errors, so we can trust Him to keep His word. Today, from Pastor Ken, we learn that God will always come through for us in our time of need because He is never failing.
In the Bible, Ezekiel was a prophet chosen by God to witness and speak under God’s divine inspiration. According to Bible scholars, Ezekiel prophesied 593 years before Christ, yet his prophecies have come true in the last 100 years. The real question is, how long will the people of this world keep denying the name of Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells those listening to get right with God. As world tensions rise around Israel today, the day will soon come when no one can deny the name of Jesus Christ.
We live in a world with societal standards that seem to change every day, but the one thing that will never change is the Bible. The Bible is God’s Word to us, and His Word is final. The Bible talks about the signs and what the world would be like right before the second coming of Jesus. Like clockwork, the world is riddled with wars, rumors of wars, starvation, and earthquakes - just like the Bible said. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you that Jesus could return anytime. Are you ready to meet Jesus?
Do you remember when you were a kid, and you spent every holiday with your family? Whether it was Thanksgiving or Christmas, you celebrated with family. Nowadays, the importance of family is dwindling, but to God, it’s everything. The Bible tells us that we are God’s children and that He is our Father. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you that through the grace of Jesus, you enter God’s family. The only way to the Father is by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Do you ever think about what God has planned for His people? The Bible tells us everything God wants us to know, and God wanted the people of Israel to see that He chose them to be His people. Deuteronomy says that God chose Israel to be His treasured possessions. God also tells us that Israel means “one who prevails with God.” In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you that the next part of God’s plan is to reunite with His family. God came to us through His Son, Jesus, who is returning.
The conflicts between Israel and the Arab nations seem merely like religious wars. It seems especially silly because, don’t they believe in the same God? The God of Abraham? While some people might confuse Allah and Yahweh to be the same God, Pastor Ken teaches you that they are opposites. In fact, Allah is a false god and is actually Satan. The wars in the Middle East are actually spiritual wars between God and Satan. Instead of being alarmed by all the conflicts, take heart in knowing that God will ultimately win.
Israel is one of the most contested and fought-over pieces of territory in the world. It’s amazing that such a small piece of land is the source of several wars and controversies. But as Pastor Ken teaches you in today’s message, for almost 2,000 years, NOBODY wanted to live there. Once the Jews left the land, God’s blessings over the land also left, and it became a dry, barren desert. It was only when Jews started moving back that it started raining and producing crops again. You and I are witnessing Bible prophecies fulfilled!
If you look at a map of Israel, it’s surprising to see that such a small country that’s surrounded by enemies has survived since 1948. Multiple times, various neighboring countries have attacked Israel, but Israel has won and is a thriving country. As Pastor Ken teaches you today, it’s ALL because of God’s sovereign protection over His people. Throughout history, tyrants and nations have tried to destroy Israel and the Jewish people, but they’re still here. God is faithful and sovereign over your life too.
Isn’t it mind-boggling to think that there are some people who can afford to fly around in private jets, while at the same time, there are many others who don’t even have enough food? This isn’t just the case in faraway countries; it happens even in America. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that God cares about oppressed and marginalized people in society. As Christians, we also should have the same heart towards the poor and neglected. Ask God to reveal how you can show compassion to those in need.
King Solomon said that there is nothing new under the sun. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that bad leaders were a problem in the Old Testament, and they are still a problem today. From kings and priests to presidents and pastors, I’m sure you have read and heard countless examples of corrupt leaders who filled their own pockets at the expense of the people they were supposed to take care of. But one day, King Jesus Himself will set up His kingdom on earth. He will rule perfectly and make all things right.
If you’re going through a difficult situation right now, you might be tempted to think that God has forgotten you or no longer cares for you. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches that the Israelites also thought that God had abandoned them because they were sent into exile in Babylon. But God still cared about them and promised them hope for a good future. Whatever you are going through today, find hope in knowing that the same God of the Bible cares deeply for you and has the best plans for you.
Have you ever been so bold, as to question the intention and motives of the Lord of the universe? He’s the One who spoke light into existence. In today’s message, Pastor Ken points out how God never changes. He has made up His mind about the matters that be, and He’s right. He knows more than you could ever hope to fathom. If He said it’s good to have Adam and Eve, that means it’s not right for us to assume it’s right to have Adam and Steve. He set everything in motion from the beginning, to produce good.
Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “Higher levels come with bigger devils.” Today, Pastor Ken talks about how his perspective has changed; he’s been formed into the image of the King. The battle is real! There are powers at work that want to take your calling, your purpose, and your very life. That’s why God has appointed shepherds and watchmen over the church, to ensure that wolves don’t get in, and have their way with the sheep. Remember, sheep aren’t smart; you need a shepherd in every aspect of life!
Have you ever felt like something was actively fighting against you? Something that you can’t see? In today’s message Pastor Ken, points out the purpose of watchmen in the church. They are commissioned to guard the flock against the evil that is looking to harm the sheep. There really are powers of darkness set to be destructive! These forces are at work, to undo the progress the Lord has made in your life, and these wicked creatures are bent on your destruction. Now, learn about the ministry of the Watchmen.
All the religions of the world are the same. There’s a “holy” figure of some kind that is revered and honored. Generally, there’s a “holy” book of some kind. One of the MANY significant differences between Christianity and all other world religions is the status of the “holy” figure. As we just heard from Pastor Ken, all the other “little g gods” ARE DEAD in their graves. Jesus was resurrected. Today you’ll learn more about the spiritual realm and how Jesus had complete victory over it.
As Pastor Ken continues sharing with us the VERY REAL reality of the spiritual realm, it’s hard to not turn your mind off and disregard this as nothing more than fantasy. But, we simply can’t do that. In fact, you’ll learn today that there’s actually a spiritual battle over each person who doesn’t know Jesus as Savior yet. In your own life as a follower of Jesus…you started as one who was OPPOSED to God. Then when you received Jesus as your LORD and Saviour, you were “translated” from the spiritual realm of darkness to the spiritual realm of light.
Have you ever stopped to think about the spiritual realm? Hollywood has sensationalized the spiritual realm with their depiction of angels and devils. You’ve seen them…personified as a little angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other? Today Pastor Ken helps us TRULY see what the spiritual world is like. The one thing you will learn is that the spiritual realm is VERY REAL and directly affects your daily life. And as we just heard from Pastor Ken a moment ago, God uses YOU in the physical world daily!
Have you ever thought spiritual warfare was something that only happens in the movies or something that only happens at “weird” churches? As Pastor Ken finishes his message today on Ezekiel’s condemnation of Pharoah, you will see how the conflict going on in the world right now is an extension of battles going on in the spiritual realm. It’s obvious that the world is in the end times, and the picture is becoming clear on what those final battles will entail, and how God will gain the final victory over darkness.
Scripture tells us that Satan isn’t just a red devil with horns and a pitchfork, but he was originally a high-ranking angel of God. In Ezekiel 32, the prophet compares Pharoah to that same fallen angel, and Pastor Ken shows you today how many of the words used to describe Satan are also used to describe Egyptian mythology in the Old Testament. By understanding these similarities, we can see how spiritual forces are manifested in the physical world, and how we can be prepared to fight them.
Today on The UnSafe Bible, Pastor Ken will teach you about the significance of the city of Jerusalem, about the attacks that have taken place against it, as well as the ones that are to come in the end times. Throughout the Bible and all of human history, the Lord has placed supernatural protection over Jerusalem, warding off attacks from various invaders. Even though there are times to mourn the loss in the aftermath of an attack, we can rest assured that God will restore many times over what man has destroyed.
In today’s connected world, we witness governments rise and fall on a regular basis. Today, Pastor Ken completes his message on the Great Tree in Ezekiel 31, where Pharoah receives his final warning that his nation is about to be destroyed by an outside invader. While Ezekiel describes Pharoah as a mighty cedar tree, he also reveals that Pharoah’s power is granted by God’s grace alone, and just like the forces of evil that exist today, God’s patience will run out, and He will allow them to be destroyed.
When was the last time you faced an enemy that you felt couldn’t be beaten? God offers you a way to endure attacks from your enemies, but only if you repent and follow His ways. Pastor Ken teaches you today about how the Assyrian nation conquered the Northern kingdom of Israel, but when they tried to attack the Southern Kingdom, the Lord intervened and protected them. As a Christian, you can pray for the Lord’s protection from the spiritual forces that oppose Him; you don’t need to have fear!
Does it feel like you’re always surrounded by conflict? Whether it’s conflict within your community or a geopolitical conflict thousands of miles away, there always seems to be news of a new battle breaking out over land, power, and resources. Today, Pastor Ken will teach you about the millennia-long conflict in the spiritual realm, and how the people of Israel understood it as a current event. Understanding spiritual warfare in the past will help you prepare to wage the spiritual war that is yet to come.
Are you tired of hearing about pride? I mean, it pops up again and again in the Bible. Hmmm. Does it make you pause like me? We should take notice of it like in today’s message with Pastor Ken. You see, it’s proof. Proof of sin unchecked and in today’s message, we hear how it literally brought a nation to its knees. Ezekiel had to tell Egypt that their poor treatment of Israel would be their downfall and that downfall would be brought about by another ruler. Don’t ignore the warnings that Jesus gives us. They matter!
The false safety that sin offers suddenly turns into a dark, foreboding storm when God is thrown into the mix. We’ve all done the wrong thing at one time or another, right? God’s gracious to warn us. To give us a chance to turn away. But woe to us if we ignore our opportunity to set things right. The people of Egypt didn’t seize their time, and they reaped the consequence of utter destruction as Pastor Ken talks about today in his message. Let’s learn from them. Take a road of repentance, friends!
I don’t put much stock in someone predicting my future…especially if it’s unpleasant. What about you? We can hear how our actions have a negative impact on those around us, but until we actually experience that consequence it’s hard to believe. This idea isn’t much unlike how I imagine the people of Egypt felt when they heard Ezekiel’s prophetic announcement of God’s judgment that was in store for them. Friends, don’t be like them. Heed the warnings. Be a part of the cloud that Pastor Ken speaks about today.
Have you ever found yourself confused when reading directions or driving somewhere? It’s easy to get turned around and even harder to admit when we’re puzzled. I wonder if this is how Pharoah felt about the predictions Ezekiel made against him. In his message today, Pastor Ken brings understanding and clarity to these prophetic judgments. The misuse and mistreatment of Israel didn’t escape God’s notice. Just as our sin doesn’t. Which side of the fence are you sitting on today? Don’t let unbelief rob you of Heaven!
The people of Israel definitely went through their share of hills and valleys. And yet, God saved and forgave them time and time again. He even used the destruction of Egypt to remind them to trust in no one, but Him. The same can be said about mankind today. Jesus uses our struggles and our joys as a means to remember what He has done for us and is doing! Let’s not forget this in a world that tries to take that truth away. This is Pastor Ken’s message today.
How do you feel about words of encouragement? How about constructive criticism or reprimand? Both can be a healthy thing for all of us to experience. Especially in regard to sin and our relationship with Jesus. Pastor Ken tells us in his message today, as it says in Ezekiel, it’s like the thorn in our side that will be pulled out by none other than God Himself. Just like He did for Israel. The thorn in this case are seven different nations that have really put Israel through the ringer. Friends, don’t be the thorn!
We’ve learned what essentially turned Satan into Satan. He no longer worshiped and recognized the glory of God. He wanted that for himself. He deceived many with his flashy lies. Do you find yourself falling victim to his ways? I don’t blame you, he’s a pro at distorting and destroying. In his message today, Pastor Ken explains the consequences of Satan’s decisions and actions. Believer, you have a bullseye on your back. Will you persist in your quest to live like Jesus or will you give Satan a clear shot?
Have you ever thought of the Devil as being irresistibly shiny and beautiful, like something out of a fairy tale? Me either. And yet, we hear from Pastor Ken’s message today about Satan looking like that. That’s a far cry from the commonly known image of a pitchfork. Friends, Satan had it made in Heaven with God, but something happened…obviously. And he was thrown out. Did you know that Satan convinced some of the other angels God was wrong and he was right? Wow. That’s bold. And not in a good way.
Jealousy can eat away at us like ants in a bowl of sugar. Before we know it, our choices are influenced, and maybe even what we do changes because of it. I wonder how much of this played a part in Satan’s dismissal. You see, he didn’t like seeing his position given to mankind. It made him start to think he was better. Better than God. That’s where we have to be careful as well because it’s too easy to put ourselves on a pedestal. Pastor Ken’s message today continues to describe Satan’s appearance and actions.
Would you say that everything has a starting point? Through Pastor Ken’s message today we learn the surprising start of Satan’s downfall. Yes, that’s what I said. He wasn’t always ‘bad’. He started out in God’s throne room in heaven. Praising, worshiping, and leading other angels to do the same. This account of the Devil’s descent didn’t end well but caused grief…to God. So much so that the writer of Ezekiel records it. Our choices do that sometimes. If we let pride take over and take away.
Have you ever caught yourself being prideful? Today, Pastor Ken talks about how God hates pride. It's an attitude that places ourselves above others and even above God. It can blind you to your own flaws and keep you from recognizing your need for Him. God loves you deeply, but pride can create a barrier between you and Him. To walk in His light, you must set aside your pride, acknowledge your weaknesses, and humbly seek His guidance. When you embrace humility, you will grow closer to God.
Have you ever wondered why we, as imperfect beings, cannot be in the same place as the divine Creator? In today’s message, Pastor Ken explains it’s because of sin we cannot be in the same place as God. Sin, the choices that separate us from God, has been a part of human nature since the beginning. But, God's love for you is so immense that He couldn't bear to be apart from you. So, He made the ultimate sacrifice – He sent His Son, Jesus, to take on the price of your sins so that you could spend eternity with Him.
In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's crucial to find our source of Jesus in the right place. In today's message, Pastor Ken challenges us to get our source of Jesus from the Bible alone. The Bible, the timeless word of God, is your spiritual anchor. It contains the teachings and wisdom of Jesus that can illuminate our path and lead us toward a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Him. Today, as you navigate your faith journey, remember the importance of seeking Jesus in the Bible.
Life is a journey of choices. We're blessed with a gift that sets us apart from all creation – free will. In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how it's our decision whether to follow the path of righteousness or to disobey the Lord. In this world, we face countless temptations and distractions, each tugging at the strings of our hearts. But let's not forget that it's our own choices that lead us down a particular path, whether toward obedience or disobedience. Choose to obey the Lord!
Life can be a complex journey, full of choices, challenges, and moments of triumph and trial. Today, Pastor Ken reminds us through today’s message that you mess up and fall into sin. We're all human, prone to make mistakes, and occasionally, we may lose our way. At times, we might find ourselves entangled in the consequences of our choices. Sometimes, God will allow this to show you why you need Him. He allows us to experience the pain of our own actions, not to condemn us, but to lead us back to Him.
Have you ever thought about the battle that has been going on since the beginning of time? In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how the Devil is trying to keep Jesus from taking back Earth. But, as you may know, Jesus will prevail. You must hold onto the unshakable belief that Jesus will win. His power, His love, and His message of hope will prevail, no matter how fierce the opposition. No matter what trial you are going through, Jesus has already defeated the enemy, so lean into Him!
In today’s message, Pastor Ken visits the Book of Revelation and makes comparisons to the city of Babylon that has yet to come and the nation of Tyre. In the Book of Ezekiel, the nation of Tyre was one of a few nations who plotted against God and suffered their inevitable defeat. But Pastor Ken dissects the comparisons the two cities will have. And just like the destruction of Tyre, the city of Babylon will suffer the same defeat at the hands of our mighty God. God will judge the city of Babylon and all of its inhabitants.
In the Book of Ezekiel, many events and prophecies that occurred are seen at various other points in the Bible. One correlation was the destruction of Tyre. Tyre was a nation that conspired against God’s plans and ultimately saw their demise. The correlation was to the nation of Babylon in the Book of Revelation and its inevitable destruction. In today’s message, Pastor Ken informs us that we are to take caution. These are not just warnings but signs that we’re coming closer to the return of Jesus Christ.
Isn’t it unbelievable that we’re still discovering things from the Bible in our times? The Bible is not only the Word of God but a history of what the world was like. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells us that our discoveries of ancient lost cities and relics of the past line up with what the Bible teaches. The Bible is the oldest written peace of documented History humanity has ever had. And while we are still finding things from the Bible, the world around us confirms the things in the Bible that were yet to happen.
Do you have doubts about God? We see time and time again that there were many tribes and cities in the Bible that doubted and tested the God of Abraham. But our God isn’t a God of empty promises when He says something. When God speaks to us, great things happen. God spoke judgment into the city of Tyre, and their enemies destroyed them. And in today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you that God isn’t a God of empty promises and words, but our God fulfills His words.
We live in a world with many parallels to what the Book of Revelation says would happen. But what’s crazy is how much the Old Testament would prophesize what would occur in the Book of Revelation and our times NOW. In today’s message, Pastor Ken takes us through the Book of Ezekiel and reminds us that the things they went through in the Old Testament are relative to what’s happening in our times. Today, you’ll learn that a city like Tyre that was destroyed in an instant is what is going to happen to Babylon.
The Book of Luke talks about one verse regarded as the golden rule in the Bible. Luke 6:31 says to treat others the way you want to be treated. As Christians, we should treat others with the same aforethought we desire in all areas of our lives. Including those we do business with. But as we know, only some have the same motives and morals we do. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Ken warns us of the dangers of who we surround ourselves with. Today, you’ll discover that some people are only around for their gain.
Satan is the prince of lies. As much as we like to think we’re above his deception, we often underestimate just how pervasive it is. It’s not just the large-scale falsehoods that are peddled to the public by branches of the media. These lies can sneak their way into our lives in much more subtle ways. As Pastor Ken continues our study of the book of Ezekiel in today’s message, he’ll remind us that we need to be equipped with the truth of God’s Word in order to recognize these lies and resist them.
The fight between Palestine and Israel is rooted much deeper than the land. Every war or dispute in history in fact has deeper roots than the surface-level disagreements that led to fighting. As Pastor Ken continues our study of the book of Ezekiel in today’s message, he’ll remind us that there’s an ongoing war that began long ago, even before man fell into sin. Satan hates God and is jealous of His power and position. He’s been fighting in the spiritual realm, doing everything he can to hurt God and those He loves.
If you ever find yourself frustrated as you watch injustice play out in this world, you can find hope as we study the book of Ezekiel. Our God is just - He invented the entire concept of justice and placed a desire in our hearts for it. As Pastor Ken examines the lands surrounding Israel and the prophecies concerning them, we’ll be reminded that ultimately justice is going to be served to those who oppress Israel as well as the Church. When Jesus returns, His coming will not be humble and lowly - but triumphant.
It requires faith to read Scripture and find hope in the promises and concepts it presents. But, as we continue our study of the book of Ezekiel with Pastor Ken, we find evidence of the truth this book contains. The prophets of Scripture weren’t just making educated guesses. As we read the pages of this book, we find that its descriptions of future events are extremely accurate. Some we can look back and see in historical accounts while others we can actively see taking shape today.
In today’s message, as Pastor Ken continues our study of the fascinating book of Ezekiel, we’ll examine the prophecy and events concerning the nations surrounding Israel in his time. Throughout Scripture we find God revealing glimpses of future events to humans and sure enough, we can examine the history of Israel and the world as a whole, and find that His revelations come true. We can see our God’s sovereignty and eternal nature as we study these historic accounts.
In today’s message, Pastor Ken will provide listeners with valuable context, as it relates to Israel’s birth as a nation, the countries surrounding Israel, and how it all connects - according to God’s will. The Old Testament is loaded with lessons that can be applied to our lives today. Most involve Israel, but like its neighbors, the Lord had very clear messages that we can learn from. Would those leaders have acted differently if they had the same recount we do? May we not ignore this important example.
Much of the Middle East as we know it, the existing nations, the land, and even the relations, can all be traced back to Old Testament Scripture. In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken highlights the origin of Israel’s surrounding neighbors, and provides valuable notes for us to consider, as we witness the future unfold. We trust that God is in control of every detail in that region of the world, and His working has only been confirmed by truths that have come to pass, as prophesied in the Bible.
Why did God pick Israel as His chosen people, and why didn’t He choose any of the surrounding nations? Today, Pastor Ken will explore the history that led to the rise of Israel, and teach listeners about some of its neighboring countries. It is fascinating to witness God’s hand at work in that region of the world - from before Christ, and even now. May we never be too blinded by the distractions in our own life to notice the great value in being educated about such history, and its relevance today.
We have seen throughout history that God judged sin, even when Israel was at fault. God communicated such in the book of Ezekiel and has kept His promise. In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will look at the foretold judgment, specifically how God warns against hurting His chosen people - the nation of Israel. Whether in the Old Testament or as recently as World War II, no matter the size or might of some of the greatest armies the world has seen, these nations have not been blessed if they stand against Israel.
How would you respond if the Lord gave you advanced knowledge of something that was deeply personal and hard to receive? Ezekiel was chosen by God to deliver a message, and he was committed to it, no matter what. Today, Pastor Ken will guide listeners through Ezekiel’s calling, the message he would deliver, and ultimately what we might glean from it for our own lives. Despite what life may bring, there is no better place than to be walking completely in line with God’s desires for you!
Even in the Old Testament, the Lord would communicate through parables, to get His message across to the Israelites, and ultimately to us today. In today’s teaching, Pastor Ken will examine how the Lord spoke through Ezekiel, of Jerusalem’s sin and the suffering to come. We know that the consequences of sin are real, and often painful. Throughout the Old Testament, the Israelites would frequent this unpleasing pattern of walking away from the Lord, and it never turned out well for them!
When someone is before a judge in court, they are at the hand of the judge, as to if they will go to jail or not. Today, Pastor Ken talks about the eternal judge, Who is God. When we sin, we’re in trouble of being judged for eternity. But there is hope. His name is Jesus. If you believe in God, He will give you eternal life through Him. You must say no to your sin and yes to God. Trusting God allows Him to bring you a life that’s free in His Son. He sent Jesus to die a death that you deserved so that you can be free.
When we sin, our lives are on a constant path to death. Today, Pastor Ken talks about the comparison in Scripture between the people of Israel and us today. We hear of a story of the death of a woman who was enslaved to sin. You have hope, His name is Jesus. When you trust in Him and allow Him to change you, the trajectory of your life changes. He promises to give you eternal life through Him. All you have to do is believe in Him, and He will redeem you from your path to death, and bring you to life eternal.
When someone is a slave, there is nothing they can do to be free from their situation. In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how we should not be slaves to our sins. When you are a slave to sin, there is seemingly no way out. God gave you a way out! He sent His son down to die so that you can have freedom in Him. When you trust God, you are able to have freedom from the law, and freedom from sin that enslaves the whole world. Trust in God today, and you will no longer be a slave to sin, but a child of God.
With everything going on around us, it can be easy to feel alone in this world. Today, Pastor Ken says that God promises He will be with us no matter what we go through. When we depend on God fully, He’s able to shape us through our trials in life. God wants you to live a life that is free through Him. To do that, sometimes it means you might be in a trial so it strengthens you. When you depend on God through your trials, it allows you to be shaped and guided into who He wants you to be, which is a child of God.
The world around us is crazy. Everywhere we look there is some sort of chaos going on. In today’s message, Pastor Ken shares from Habakkuk, a prophet from the Old Testament. Habakkuk was asking God how long all the chaos would last and his situation was similar to our world today. When you are in a tough situation, what do you run to? Habakkuk challenges you to trust God to be your guide. When you trust God in times of trial, God will give you a way out. He wants to bring you peace in a chaotic world.
Have you ever been under leadership that was corrupt? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the government of Israel, and how corrupt it was. In reality, the only person that can get us out of corruption is God. When you trust Him and allow Him to guide your life, He’ll give you the discernment of what’s right and wrong. God wants you to respect authority but also wants you to love and trust Him. Trusting God is the best decision you’ll ever make. He’ll guide you through how to follow leadership, even if it’s poor.
For those who are in Christ Jesus, you have been saved from the wrath of God! Pastor Ken assures you in today’s message that if you’ve received Jesus as Lord, you will be saved from His coming judgment. You will not experience the wrath from God, but you will have to give an account of how you spent your time here on earth. Pastor Ken encourages you to spend the time that God has graciously given by serving His Kingdom. Let the life you lead and the work you do while you’re here be a reflection of His goodness.
Those who are not in Christ will receive His judgment. Today, Pastor Ken extends the invitation to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Tomorrow might be too late. The Bible constantly proclaims “Repent, for the kingdom is coming!” Choose this day to turn from your sins and acknowledge your need for Jesus as your Savior. He will extend His judgment upon the earth one day soon and to all who have not put their trust in Him. Pastor Ken urges you, to answer the invitation to Jesus today!
Are you focused on keeping rules and regulations? Or are you focused on keeping your relationship with the Lord? Pastor Ken encourages you today, to surrender your life to Jesus. He says to come to Him all who are weary and heavy-laden with religion, and that He would provide the rest for your soul. So, if you’re burnt out on striving, rule-keeping, and religion, come to Jesus. Pastor Ken assures you that in Christ’s embrace, you will find peace, salvation, joy, and true rest. Receive Jesus as your Savior today!
Keep moving forward in the grace and freedom that the Lord has extended to you! In Pastor Ken’s message, he encourages you to lift up your head and to keep walking in faith. When you receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, He clothes you in His righteousness. Pastor Ken reveals, that Satan desires to keep you stuck in the past and focused on your failures. But Christ desires for you to keep your eyes fixed on Him and what He’s accomplished for you! There is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus!
Be grateful that the Lord is as long-suffering and as patient as He is! Today, you learn through Pastor Ken’s message that it’s the loving kindness of God that leads one to repentance. God desires for no one to perish, but for all to receive the saving knowledge of Him. He loves the world so much that He gave His only Son, Jesus. Pastor Ken explains, that even though God is immensely long-suffering there comes a point where He will acknowledge the hard-heartedness. He will not force His way into one’s heart.
God is the God of the past, present, and future! As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Ken, he shares with you the undeniable truth that God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. He knows the end from the beginning. He is the Author and Finisher of faith for all who follow Him. Pastor Ken encourages you, to keep faithfully walking with the Lord. Know that He will equip you with all that you need if you daily surrender to Him and His will. He will make your paths straight.
In the Bible, the Book of John says God loved the world so much that He gave His only son to die on the cross for our sins. That whoever believed in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. This gift isn’t for Christians only but for EVERYONE. The beauty of God’s gift is that His gift of Grace is a gift, and we need only to accept Him as our Lord and Savior. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you God’s gift of grace is for everyone. All you need to do is give your life to Jesus. Give Jesus control over your life.
In the Bible, the Israelites struggled with many false idols. Today, idolatry looks different but is still rooted in the same evil. Whether it's money or fame, false idols have a grip on the world, and like many people, they also control Christians. So in today’s message, Pastor Ken calls out the Christians who still indulge in a life full of sin. Pastor Ken reminds them to repent of their sinful ways. Approach God with a clean heart and live with a heavenly mindset. And if you don’t repent, you will experience eternal separation from God.
Sometimes when we approach God with a problem, we’ll come to Him with a heart full of sin. This is the wrong way to communicate with God. When we pray to Him, we should always draw near to God with a clean heart. In today’s message, Pastor Ken tells you that when you need something from God, you MUST repent first. Ask God to forgive you of your sins and turn away from them. God wants a relationship with you, He wants you to want Him in your life. So will you ask God to make you clean?
We live in a time where certain cultural practices are normal because society deems it that way. But God’s way of thinking is counterintuitive to how most people approach life. When we have and believe in God, we must accept EVERYTHING God’s word says, contrary to how the public views it. And in today’s message, Pastor Ken reminds you that just because sins are socially accepted, does not mean they are ok in the eyes of God. We must repent to God and turn away from our sins.
Did you hear that? God laid the groundwork for Jesus’s arrival HUNDREDS of years before He was born. How? In today’s message, Pastor Ken goes over the genealogy of Jesus. By tracing certain events that led back to the time of Moses in the book of Numbers and Jesus’s stepfather Joseph, we find out that Joseph is related to King David from the Book of 1 & 2 Samuel. Pastor Ken reminds you that God promised David the messiah would come from his family line. And because of Moses, the prophecy is complete.
Today Pastor Ken challenges you with a single question; what does it all mean? The ultimate goal is Jesus, but how do we get there? We know that a king was promised through the line of David, but because of his descendants' mistakes, God deals with them accordingly. Even before David, there were prophecies of a Lion of Judah and a great high priest. But today, we find out together that the prophecies all point to the one God had promised through David’s line. His name? Jesus Christ.
We can never be good enough on our own. Today, Pastor Ken emphasizes the importance of living godly. As Christians, God has taken care of our sins and given us the Holy Spirit to help us choose goodness and run from evil. He has given us abundant grace. It is a gift! Christ has paid the penalty for us. How then should we live? Live rightly! Live to please God and not men. A life that follows God’s Word is simple and full of peace. It is a victorious life, rooted in faith and surrendered to God.
God is for us! How comforting to have our great creator in our corner, rooting for us! He wants us to live abundantly. The dreams we have for ourselves diminish in light of His plans for us. What does God’s best look like? Pastor Ken challenges us in today’s message to consider God’s definition of success. Our view of success is often worldly, having nothing to do with spiritual things. God wants us more concerned about building His kingdom than building our bank accounts. God’s best is our treasure in heaven.
We have a responsibility to study and obey God’s Word. No one can do it for us. Today, Pastor Ken warns us that we can’t pass the buck when it comes to our salvation. We’ll all stand alone at the judgment and give an account of our deeds. Let’s make the decision to work out our salvation with reverence to our heavenly Father. By His mercy, we’re rescued from the punishment of sin. Following the Word of God is not just our duty, but a joyful journey of obedience to the One who has our eternity in His hands.
We get excited about it when we read in books, or watch a movie, where the underdog comes out on top. All the odds are stacked against them, but in the end, they find a way to save the day. No matter how desperate the situation, they always rise to the occasion. Pastor Ken reminds you in today’s message, that no matter how bleak the world seems, Jesus is our hope and He’s going to come again. The way things are going can be pretty sad to watch, but what it really means, is that we’re that much closer to His return.
Imagine if you had a financial advisor that had recommended to you, multiple bad investments. Would you continue to trust their advice? Would you believe anything they had to say about how to handle your money? Most of us would be looking for a new advisor. In today’s Message, Pastor Ken reminds you that God validated His Word that He spoke through His prophets by bringing it to pass so that you know you can always trust it. His Word was proven true then and it continues to be true to this day.
How well do you accept criticism? It’s definitely easier to dish it out than it is to receive it. One way people are more likely to receive criticism is when at first, you bring up the issue, without pointing the finger. This often allows them to think clearly, before becoming defensive. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how God had Ezekiel deliver a special message, to His people Israel, in the form of a riddle. He wanted them to hear His Word but knew that they would have a hard time receiving it.
Have you ever blown it? Like, big time? So bad, that you were losing sleep over what you were afraid was going to happen because of what you did - But then, somehow, it all worked out. Everything you expected to happen, didn’t, and you were able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how God’s goodness far surpasses the worst mistakes you’ve ever made. Even when you find yourself failing, time and time again, His grace is able to help you back up.
We’ve all had low moments in our lives; times when we did, or said things, that we’re ashamed of. It’s different for everyone, but unfortunately, there are various regrets that we all have to live with for the rest of our lives. Things that we hope to never repeat again. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about a time, when Israel had stooped so low, that God compared them to a prostitute, that was paying her customers to visit her. That’s really how bad things were, but despite that, God still had grace for His people.
When you die, what would you want to be written in your eulogy? Hopefully, it would be all good things, right? Nobody wants to be remembered for all their shortcomings. We all hope that our good character will be what our loved ones remember us by. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us about how low of a reputation the nation of Israel had, even among the surrounding pagan nations, in the days of Ezekiel. God said of them, that even Assyria and Sodom, would be ashamed of their behavior.
We’re such forgetful people sometimes. If you’re old enough, maybe you’re more forgetful than others. Maybe you forget why it was you even went into the other room. In seriousness though, we oftentimes forget about the past difficulties that we’ve overcome in life, and how we overcame them. In today’s message, Pastor Ken points out that sometimes, you just need to remember what God’s done in your life. Remember His faithfulness and remember the challenges He’s brought you through.
Everyone’s story is different, but many people find themselves in situations where they have no idea how they got there. Good or bad, if you had asked them years before, they never would have seen themselves where they are today. How about you? What’s your story? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how good the grace of God is; so good that when you were dead in sin, God loved you and sent His son to die in your place. Before you ever realized your need to be saved, He already had a plan.
When you have a tool, you want it to do a certain job. You wouldn’t use a hammer as a wrench and you wouldn’t use a wrench as a screwdriver. You need to have the correct tool for the job at hand, or else you’ll never get anything done. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how Jesus compares us to branches on the grapevine, and our job, is to bear fruit. He’s the vine and we’re the branches and if you bear fruit - then good! If you’re not bearing any fruit, well - then what are you good for?
Have you ever fallen for a scam before? Maybe it was a phone call about your car warranty. Maybe it was an online deal that you knew had to be too good to be true. Maybe it was something as simple as buying the knock-off brand instead of the real deal. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how much God despises false teaching. False teaching leads people to believe promises that God never made, and He doesn’t take well to being misrepresented. In fact, He holds false teachers to a much stricter judgment.
So many people today are walking around pretending to be someone that they’re not. They’ve lied to themselves, thinking that if they act the part they want to be, then eventually it will come true. Or at least they’ll convince other people that it’s true. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you, that when your identity’s found in Christ, then there’s no reason for pretense. You don’t have to try and convince anyone that you’re perfect because you know that Christ is perfect, and He’s forgiven you.
Today when we think of idols, we get this picture of carved figurines from past civilizations. The truth is, that idolatry was so much more than that. Idol worship in those days consisted of many practices that today we think of as being detestable. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you that even though things may be packaged differently today - our society still worships the same false gods, and our practices are just as evil. As you heard Pastor Ken say, “Anything you put before God - is idolatry.”
Sure, we all like to feel good about ourselves. Nobody really likes that feeling of seeing flashing lights in their review mirror, so to speak. We all much prefer to be affirmed and encouraged by those around us, but what if we’re doing something wrong? Pastor Ken teaches you in today’s message, that what you need to hear, is the truth of God’s Word. If you only listen to what you want to hear, rather than what you need to hear, you’re headed for trouble. God’s truth isn’t always easy to hear, but it’s always good.
Isn’t that how we are? On social media, what do we put up there? We put our best face forward, don’t we? We post all the highlights of our lives to showcase how good everything’s going. When we do something good, like vote or give blood, we post about it so everyone can see. In today’s message, Pastor Ken warns you about playing the hypocrite. We all have the tendency to want others to see us in a certain light, but if you have to fake it, then something’s wrong. Why not just be honest about your need for improvement?
Generally, people have different degrees of truthfulness that they consider acceptable. We’re ‘OK’, with a little white lie or with some embellishment, or maybe just leaving out that one little detail. How far is too far; Where exactly should you draw the line? In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about how God has some pretty harsh words to say about those who tell lies. In fact, Jesus said that Satan is the father of lies and that those who lie, are his children. On the other hand, God Himself, cannot lie.
As a kid, when you were told to do something, or else there would be consequences, did you always do what you were supposed to? There were probably times you thought you were getting away with not doing your job, but there was always a reckoning in the end. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you, that just as many didn’t take Ezekiel seriously in his day, concerning God’s Word, they still don’t believe God’s Word today. They mock the thought that Jesus is actually going to return to the earth one day.
If you hire an appraiser to come out to your home and estimate its value, they will have a calculated method for doing it. They won’t just casually walk through and then start throwing out figures. First, they must carefully evaluate the many factors that add value to your home. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you that you should carefully approach prophecy when you come across it in Scripture. The Bible warns against the twisting of God’s Word; so it’s very important, that you learn to handle it accurately.
It’s not hard to look around and see that there’s been a major shift in our society. For a nation that’s known for being founded on the principles of scripture, we certainly have drifted away from where we began. The further we drift, the more obscure the truth seems to us. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches you about the nation Israel in a time of moral depravity, and how we aren’t all that different today. God’s Word today, is still the standard that you must cling to, unless you too - find yourself drifting away.
Do you sometimes doubt the words of others especially when they make promises? Maybe their track record doesn’t support what they say they’ll do. Rest assured that God doesn’t struggle with this. From Pastor Ken’s messages, we see through the prophet Ezekiel that God is faithful to His people and promises to restore them in due time. This isn’t an easy pill to swallow for the prideful people living in Jerusalem. Nevertheless, it’s the truth that Ezekiel delivers after reminding himself that Jesus has it under control.
Pastor Ken shares with us today an amazing, wonderful truth about us when we accept Jesus into our hearts. We’re His now, just as Israel was. No longer bound by sin, but free because of the power of Jesus. Just like the Israelites would later experience after being brought back together. After that bumpy road of being exiled, God promised to help them get to the place they were headed in the first place. This is the message that Ezekiel had to bring to the people, regardless of what people thought in Jerusalem.
In Ezekiel’s day, he wasn’t the only prophet. There were others such as Daniel and Jeremiah. They carried the words of God to the people, but they weren’t in competition. Pastor Ken’s message today brings clarity to what people in Jerusalem thought as the Israelites were coming out of exile. God promised to restore them. This nation’s sinful actions separated them from the blessings of God. So it can be with us as well. What we do matters in the eyes of God. But take heart! He is faithful to help us change!
I don’t want to. If I do that, do you know what will happen? I don’t think it’s the right thing to do. Despite what we think, the fact still remains. Every day we’re bombarded with choices. Decisions that require our attention and action. For Ezekiel, no matter how hard it was, he knew he had to deliver the message God told him to. The Israelite people would no longer be in the company of the Glory of the Lord. Their sin and unfaithfulness were the cause of that. This is what Pastor Ken speaks about in his message today.
Are you a believer in Jesus? Did you know that you’ve got something that Israelite people from the Bible used to have, but lost? It’s true. We’ve got the Holy Spirit, the Glory of the Lord living in us! If you’re not a believer, this can still be yours if you ask Jesus into your heart. In his message, Pastor Ken said that the nation of Israel lost this Glory due to their sin. And, frankly, I don’t want that for you or me. Learn from the words of Ezekiel and the actions of the Israelites. Sin and the presence of Jesus don’t coincide. Ever.
Back in the days of old, there were a few men who foretold the future. They also gave warnings and encouragement to believers and nonbelievers alike. Ezekiel was such a man. God gave him a vision concerning Israel and the status of their relationship with God. Unfortunately, it wasn’t great. Pastor Ken reminds us today of the distinctions that made Jerusalem and the Israelites separate from other nations. And how sad it was for the Glory of the Lord to depart from them.
There’s this country that’s living by their own standards and doing what they want. Maybe they think they’re invisible. Who knows. Regardless, through a vision God tells the prophet Ezekiel what’s going to go down. How He’s going to deal with the sin. Ezekiel knows God to be many things as Pastor Ken shares with us today, but still finds it hard to believe the judgment that’s coming. Friends, God will judge our every thought and action. The clock’s ticking. Don’t waste this gift of time. Turn to Jesus!
How would you like to be a prophet in the days of old? Having visions of what was to come would be both terrifying and exciting, wouldn’t it? But, for Ezekiel, it was a little bewildering. Maybe even discouraging. He saw the cost of sin in God’s temple and in Israel. It wasn’t pretty. Thankfully, it doesn’t end here for those who were branded by God’s seal. These were the ones who saw the sin for what it was and were extremely sad about it. And they had protection from God’s judgment. This is Pastor Ken’s message.
We’re not so unlike the nation Israel. Their sin ate them up and it cost them dearly just like it does with us if we let it. You see, God’s good, BUT He doesn’t let bad behavior slide. He takes care of it, much to His dismay. I say that because Jesus WANTED a complete turnaround from the Israelites. A return to Him. But they didn’t. So, as told to the prophet Ezekiel, they’d be slain in payment for all their sin. I’m so grateful that there’s something besides sin and judgment for us as Pastor Ken talks about in his message. Aren’t you?
As the world gets more ungodly by the day, it’s especially more important now more than ever, for you to be dependent daily on the power of the Holy Spirit. As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through Ezekiel, he’ll be challenging you to meditate on God’s Word day and night. The enemy is consistently every day to try and indoctrinate you and draw you into all sorts of demonic doctrines and behaviors. When you spend time in prayer and study the Word regularly, you’ll have the discernment you need.
We live in a physical world with its four known space/time dimensions of length, width, height, and time. However, God dwells in the spirit realm, beyond the perception of our physical senses. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how since God is outside of time, He knows the beginning to the end and knows your past, present, and future. God is not shocked when you sin, He already knows. He saved you knowing your failings, He just wants you to confess, repent, and get back up.
Today, Pastor Ken will be exhorting you not to fall into the same cycle as the nation of Israel. They were in sin, got judged, and then they repented, God poured out His blessing on them, they grew comfortable, and then they sinned again. Each time the nation of Israel was judged due to worshiping idols and living in deliberate sin, the judgment got more severe. The Lord gave Israel numerous times to repent. Even though Israel had experienced amazing miracles and deliverance by God, they still fell away.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Ezekiel, he’ll be reminding you that as a Christian, all your past, present, and even future sins have been forgiven. Don’t allow the enemy to cause you to isolate and grow bitter simply because you’ve fallen. For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one righteous, no not one, the Bible says. When you sin, confess your sin to the Lord and He’ll be faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you.
Whenever the nation of Israel would start to walk in sin, God would send a prophet to bring correction and rebuke. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how it’s possible to almost sear your conscience like an iron when you keep ignoring the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The nation of Israel didn’t heed Ezekiel’s warnings and they were so steeped in sin, that instead of being troubled by the warning, they were calloused and didn’t care. Purpose to confess and repent of your sin daily, don’t wait.
Sin had separated us from God. There was nothing that we could have done to reconcile that relationship. Because of Jesus, when God looks at us He doesn’t see our sin but the righteousness of Jesus. Because God is Holy, we are held to a standard. We cannot continue to live a sinful life just because His grace covers it. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about the standard to which we are being held. God has given each one of us the command to be Holy because He is Holy.
Jesus led a very bold ministry. No other teacher had the understanding He did, and no one else saw the miracles that He performed. He made many lofty claims, but He always backed them up. There are many times when Jesus is straight-up calling out darkness and demonic spirits out of Land and people. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about the boldness that Jesus had when He preached His message. This kind of boldness is something that we should strive to have in our witness!
Ezekiel was a prophet who was only allowed to speak when the Lord told him to. Many of the Old Testament Prophets were sent to warn people of their sins and encourage them to repent and turn back to God! If these prophets ever misspoke or misrepresented God they would be killed. Ezekiel came with a message pushing Israel to repent otherwise there would be consequences. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about how we must take our sins seriously before a Holy God.
Have you ever met someone who would shift the blame off of themselves? Maybe they hold a victim mentality and believe that bad things happen to them, not because of their actions. The Israelites made conscious decisions to disobey God. God warned them what would happen, but they disregarded His warning. Many people are quick to blame God, and they disregard how their actions led them to where they are at. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing about personal responsibility for sin.
We have God's Word, which contains all the promises that He’s made to us. We can read about all of them, but then we may actually live like those promises aren’t really active. The Christian’s life comes down to belief. Not only do we believe in God, but do we trust in His promises, and are we confident that He keeps His promises? In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing the importance of trusting the Word of God. This requires faith, but He promised to give us that as well!
The Lord has only asked for one thing from the Israelites and it was to love and keep His commandments. However, through idolatry, poor leadership of Kings, and sin, they wandered far from God. They even went as far as setting up idols in the temple. God warned them what would happen if they disobeyed, and it all came to pass. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be sharing the importance of being obedient to the Lord. We can learn from people in the past because we have that same commandment today!
Do you ever wonder sometimes why bad consequences happen? Though God is not the illustrator of bad things happening to people, He does tell us that there are consequences of our actions; whether it be good or bad. In today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to be talking about how the people broke the covenant of God and how their actions are going to have a consequence. In our walks, we must remember that God loves us and therefore He will allow us to stumble if that means growing in Him.
Have you ever had your doubts about something? It could be a story you heard from a friend or even a used car you got that just seemed a little too cheap. What about doubting God? Though it’s hard to admit, we will see in our message today by Pastor Ken that doubting God isn’t an uncommon thing! In fact, Ezekiel doubted God. As we go through this story, we learn that God never fails, never unequips, and will never let us down. We can rest in the fact that we serve a God that is always faithful!
Have you ever felt like God was asking you to do something in particular? Maybe it was going on a mission trip, giving money to a charity, or simply forgiving a friend. This is a calling from God. Today, Pastor Ken is going to be talking about how Ezekiel had a calling from God. When we are called it is not by our plans or anyone else, it is simply by the Holy Spirit that speaks to us, and when that happens we can know that God will fully equip us with everything we could ever need to pursue that calling.
Have you ever been asked to do something by God and thought that you just weren’t fit for the job? Or have you ever been asked to do something that didn’t fit your schedule? I know I have! However, in today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to be sharing a story about a man named Ezekiel that was asked to do a task by God that wasn’t very convenient for Him. As you listen, you’ll learn that convenience is irrelevant to the calling of God.
When you think of eating something, you automatically think of food right? (haha) Well in today’s message, Pastor Ken is going to be talking about “eating” God’s word. Sounds crazy, I know, but what he is talking about here is truly diving in and studying the word of God! God tells us that the Bible is alive and breathing. It is true yesterday, today, and forever. If we put us all into “eating” it, we will find ourselves full of His wisdom, grace, and understanding!
Have you ever heard of a situation where one small thing started something big? In 2020, at a Dairy Queen in Minnesota, 900 consecutive strangers opted to pay it forward for the car behind them! That all started with one act! Well today, Pastor Ken is going to be sharing a similar story about how a group of people found a Bible inside the temple which in turn caused thousands to be saved! As we go throughout our Christian walk, we must remember that the smallest choices have the biggest impacts!
What an amazing statement from Pastor Ken! God has called us as Christians to a specific purpose in our lives. Each of us has a unique role that God has assigned to us. However, we believers frequently attempt to flee God's calling, much like Jonas did when he tried to run away. And we all know how it turned out for him. Pastor Ken explains in today's message how you can stop resisting God's plan and allow Him to work miracles in your life. God only wants the best for you. All you have to do is obey!
In sports, players form a team and compete. It is not the performance of an individual player that is important, but the performance of the team, as they rely on one another to score and win. Even in our Christian lives, we believe we are self-sufficient and try to do things on our own, which frequently leads to disaster. Pastor Ken explains today how you can put your trust in Jesus and rely on Him. You are insufficient on your own, but when you join forces with Jesus, you become unstoppable!
Have you ever fantasized about having a conversation with your creator? We've all imagined who God is and what He's like at some point in our lives. However, because we are born sinners, we are ineligible to be in sight of God. But did you know there is a way to have fellowship with your creator? Today, Pastor Ken explains how you can have a relationship with Father through Jesus, His son. When Jesus died on the cross for you, He took all of your sins and made you worthy to be with your heavenly Father.
We, humans, have a difficult time following instructions. Be it at work, where we are frequently distracted, or in a relationship, where we frequently ignore what our partner desires. In today's message, Pastor Ken explains how to humble your heart in order to hear what God has to say to you. When you make humility a part of your life, God lifts you up in everything you do and say. Being humble also protects you from the plans of the enemy, who always wants you to make a mistake so that he can harm you.
Many things in life are beyond our ability to accomplish on our own. Because we are flawed, we frequently seek assistance from others, whether at work or in relationships. The most serious flaw in us is that we are born sinners. But do you know who came to our rescue? Pastor Ken tells you today how Jesus came to this world to save you from your sins by dying on the cross and taking all of your sins on Himself. Because of Jesus, you are now worthy and faultless in the eyes of your heavenly Father!
What a statement from Pastor Ken! We as humans frequently try to avoid our responsibilities, whether at work or in relationships. Even as Christians, we frequently ignore what God wants us to do in favor of doing what we want. Today, Pastor Ken explains how to be obedient to God's calling. God lifted Moses up and used him to save the Israelites when he finally obeyed God's call. God also has a plan for your life and desires to use you for His purposes. All you have to do is make room in your life for obedience.
Just as silver and gold are put into the fire to refine them, so shall we be put into a fire of earthly suffering, to form us and shape us into what the Lord has planned for us to become. As Christians, we will be tested, BUT we’re promised that in the midst of our trials and tribulations, we can call out to God, and He’ll answer us! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to stay attentive to the Messiah, in the middle of your grief and difficulty, having the strength and grace to get through it.

In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to stay attentive to the Messiah, in the middle of your grief and difficulty, having the strength and grace to get through it.
Being followers of Christ, we are told many things in the Bible about the second coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. One of those events that we are warned about here in Daniel is the tribulation and the great tribulation. It’s going to be a time period of… great tribulation, that many people will endure before Jesus returns. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will share some signs you can look out for - to prepare yourself for His arrival and various ways you can strengthen yourself and those around you!
The Lord uses unique ways to instruct and develop us as favorable Christians. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will remind you to be observant of ways He communicates, that you might not expect. Just as God spoke to His people in the Bible, He also speaks to us now in that same way, or He uses those stories and prophecies to help our faith increase. Everything God said would happen WILL! And when we see those prophecies coming true, it will help us grow deeper and stronger in our relationship with Him!

Even as Christians, we frequently ignore what God wants us to do in favor of doing what we want. Today, Pastor Ken explains how to be obedient to God's calling. God lifted Moses up and used him to save the Israelites when he finally obeyed God's call. God also has a plan for your life and desires to use you for His purposes. All you have to do is make room in your life for obedience.
Sometimes as Christians, the Lord will speak to us in unique ways; Sometimes ways that other people don’t understand or ways they might not believe. But our God is a powerful God Who can perform wonders, just like Saul experienced with the great light. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will share with you some great examples in the Bible about how the wonders of Jesus are proved through history. All the impossible miracles Jesus Christ performed throughout His lifetime here on earth are ALL true!
Jesus Christ died as a replacement for YOU! He went up on that cross willingly to clean the life of your sinful decisions and ways. Everything the Lord sent Jesus to do was accomplished… everything He came to do was done just as it should be done. The Lord knew we couldn't continue in our ways and He loves and cares for us so much that He sacrificed His only Son for us! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to live into the freedom and strength that He paid the heavy price for.
We have a clear and clean image because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice He made for us. We get to live free and righteous lives in the name of Jesus for the Lord’s kingdom because we are made in His likeness! In today’s message, Pastor Ken will share with you the importance of truly living into the plan God has set out for YOU! We can truly live into the grace and mercy of the Lord daily, and not let one day go by without being thankful. Because of this, we can worship the Lord with overwhelming joy!
There will come a time when the Lord will send His son Jesus again to restore all the sins of the world and take us to our eternal home. While waiting for Jesus Christ to return, we must speak the truth about the Lord to everyone and anyone we can. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will encourage you to share the good news of the Messiah with His people! To share the hope and the promise of Jesus daily. We must acknowledge the Lord God as the Savior of our lives and share His saving grace!
Guess what - we already know who wins in the end! It also doesn’t make it any less boring to know the ending to our story has already been written. Yet the adventure is still ahead! Pastor Ken reiterates that Daniel knew God’s plan for the children of Israel, but that didn’t stop him from maintaining this relationship with his creator! Today, we may be secure in knowing that there’s a heavenly home waiting for us, but don’t let that assurance stop you from having one of the best relationships on Earth with Jesus by your side!
I don’t think the world will ever be empty of haters. No matter if it’s the pursuit of your own happiness or more importantly your faith, there will always be opposition. Much like in our time now, Daniel faced the same hypocrites and naysayers - from his own people! Pastor Ken gives a brief example of the ridicule that Christians face today for the sake of His name. The book of Daniel gives us a huge advantage in how to deal with the negative and stay focused on our God who is fighting on our behalf!
Got a moment for a brief assessment? How are your prayer reflexes? When troubles seem to be raining like a torrential downpour all too often we may be quick to action instead of slow to listen (to God). Pastor Ken emphasizes the fact that in the midst of trouble and despair, Daniel’s first act was the pray to God on behalf of his people. Today, in the midst of the chaos, take time to seek God for wisdom before acting, or even deciding not to act. Allow your nearness to the heavenly Father to spur your faith!
Don’t throw away your instruction manuals! Having a guidebook for anything makes the task much easier, instead of scrambling to make piece A fit into joint F. It’s the same with our Bible. Pastor Ken continues to caution our listening of Daniel in remembering that the book not only discusses events in the time of Daniel but also events that will transpire leading up to the tribulation. It’s a book with dual purposes! Today’s wisdom is not only learning from the past but looking forward to the glorious return of Jesus in our future.
How well is your life planned out? Now imagine knowing future events of the world beyond your time on Earth. That’s exactly what God did when He gave Daniel visions of the future - 300 years before it took place. Things that would happen way past Daniel’s lifetime, but God had a fantastic plan for it all! Today, Pastor Ken helps connect world history and biblical timelines to ultimately show how God was paving the way for the arrival of Jesus, his death and resurrection, and the beginnings of Christianity.
It might be outlandish to say, but have you ever experienced the world in the third person? The feeling is known as having an out-of-body experience. It’s not clearly defined in the book of Daniel, but the prophet did encounter visions and dreams God gave him. Pastor Ken even helps us consider that God physically transported Daniel into the heavenly realm to record all that he would tell the people of Israel. However, you don’t need a grand gesture of mental or physical transportation for God to speak to you today!
At a football game, there are 22 active players on the field. Yet there are thousands in the stands, and millions perhaps watching from home. Pastor Ken illustrates that Daniel was the same type of bystander to a lot of spiritual information he received in his prophecy from God - almost like a heavenly overload. For Daniel, it was a somber realization of the things to come for his people, but also what will take place in the many years to come. Today, unlike Daniel’s vision, God calls us to be more than a bystander in our faith!
No one on Earth can truly know what Heaven will be like. Well except if you were a prophet in the Bible that was gifted the ability to see the things of Heaven. How great it is that those prophecies were recorded for us to get a small glimpse into what eternity will be like. Pastor Ken again discusses the importance of the council in heaven and how God establishes order and governance even in the spiritual realm. The situation might look bleak here on earth today, but rest assured that Jesus will come again and set everything in order.
Promises are like unbreakable bonds. Pastor Ken points out that there are specific promises, given from God to New Testament Christians (people who have accepted Christ after his ascension to heaven). One of the blessed gifts is the Holy Spirit that has been left with us on this earth. He is a helper and liaison between us and God! Even better is the fact that the Holy Spirit will never leave us. That unlocked power is forever available to us today in order to fulfill the will of God in our lives wherever we go and whoever we interact with!
Compared to eternity, life is just a hiccup in the expanse of time. And while we are here, God is still planning and preparing for the things to come. Today, we see that not only will God be on His throne but there will also be a divine council - as it is called. Pastor Ken continues to detail and dissect the words of Daniel in a comprehensive study that brings a fresh perspective on the things of God. We may get busy with our daily lives, but take a moment today and thank God for a safe and secure eternity waiting for you.
Here’s your daily reminder - nothing surprises God! Did you know God knows exactly what is going to happen in this world and for the end of time? After all, He is the Alpha and the Omega (the beginning and the end as it says in the Bible). Pastor Ken affirms this truth with Daniel the prophet’s words that God ALLOWS things to happen. God cares about this world, and the people that inhabit it, so much that He continues to orchestrate everything. That ‘everything’ includes YOU. Today, why not trust the author of your life story?
Have you ever seen a wild animal show remorse for its actions? Think about the last time you saw that nature documentary. Those jackals in the wild did not have a moral dilemma in hunting that helpless, and most likely outnumbered. antelope. In the same way, today Pastor Ken emphasizes God’s intention in describing the evil in the world, and the evil that is yet to come, as beings without any moral compass. People with negative intentions will always be selfish, but it is our job to be above greed and focus on God.
In today’s message, Pastor Ken shows us that our trials can be a platform for God to show his power to those who may not know Him. Daniel went through a pretty significant trial. He was thrown into a den of lions to be eaten alive. God showed His power by miraculously protecting Daniel from the lions which caused King Darrius to repent and believe in Yahweh. Do you have any trials in YOUR life that God might be wanting to use as a platform to show himself to those who are around you today?
If you were put on trial, would there be enough evidence in your life to convict you of being a follower of Jesus? Many people claim to be Christians, but their lives are no different than those of people of the world. The Bible speaks about this reality and is clear that those who don’t truly know and follow Jesus won’t inherit the kingdom of God. In today’s message, Pastor Ken teaches us that real believers live lives that are different from the world and have clear fruits of the spirit displayed as a result.
We’ve all had bosses that we didn’t like working for. Maybe they were micromanagers, prideful, or just plain mean. Odds are, you didn’t feel like going above and beyond. God’s word gives us a new perspective though when it comes to everything that we do. We are told to do everything as unto the Lord. Whether it’s managing a business or taking out the trash, it means that we do our best, trusting that it’s what God is calling us to do. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will inspire you to do your absolute best.
There’s a lot that we can learn from King Belshazzar’s mistakes. For one, he let arrogance blind him from wisdom. His grandfather, Nebuchadnezzar, learned the hard way that Yahweh was the one true God and passed it down. King Belshazzar rejected the truth though and chose to directly defile Yahweh, which as you’ll hear, ends badly for him. In the midst of God’s judgment of Babylon, God uses Daniel in a powerful, prophetic way. In today’s message, Pastor Ken shows us the power of God’s sovereignty.
Are you striving to live a life that is holy? Holy means to be set apart. Our culture has fully embraced most sins and calls it okay. Whether it’s drunkenness, sexual immorality, or lying, most people in the world will say that it’s no big deal. God is clear in the Bible though that God hates sin and it’s the very reason that Jesus had to die in our place. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach you that God is calling you to live a life that is holy. Is there a sin in your life that you need to repent of today?
Are you willing to share the truth of God’s word if it means offending someone? God led Daniel to do just that. Only the person he was offending could have easily executed him. King Belshazzar offended God by intentionally defaming Yahweh during a crazy party. God responds by literally reaching into the room and writing a message on the wall, which Daniel is asked to interpret. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show you that even the most powerful people are under God’s authority.
I’m sure you can tell that this story isn’t going to end well for King Belshazzar and the Babylonian Empire. To begin with, being drunk and throwing a party while the city is under siege wasn’t a great idea. Arrogance and pride made King Belshazzar do the worst possible thing he could’ve done. He directly challenged God. The best part of this story is that God responds in a way that leaves the King so scared that he turns pale. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show you why you don’t mess with Yahweh.
The Bible is full of true stories from thousands of years ago that are movie worthy. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will bring to life in amazing detail the account of the fall of Babylon. Babylon was a great pagan city that had conquered many nations, but it made the mistake of challenging the God of the universe, Yahweh. It’s a story that includes amazing feat of military strategy and not to mention supernatural manifestations that will leave you wowed. You don’t want to miss this powerful account.
Are you ever amazed by the amount of division and evil in the world? Have you ever wondered how people like Adolf Hitler could commit such atrocities? Scripture tells us that it’s not just the mind of man that is at work, but there are real divine spiritual beings that are influencing the world today. It’s the same fallen beings that were influencing the world during the time of Daniel and the fall of Babylon. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show you that the power of Yahweh far outweighs the power of evil.
Are you submitting to God’s rule and purpose for your life? When God rules your life, you surrender your will and desires to Him and allow Him to guide you. His rule is characterized by love, grace, and wisdom that surpasses human understanding.
When God is in control, you can trust that He will work all things together for your good. By allowing God to rule your life, you invite Him to transform you from the inside out. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show you the power of surrendering your life to Jesus.
Have you ever had a leader that wasn’t very humble about their position? That was one of King Nebuchadnezzar's problems, but it wasn’t enough to keep the grace of God from him. As you’ll see, the process sure wasn’t pretty, but God called Nebuchadnezzar to repent and submit to Him. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach you that by embracing humility, you can draw closer to God and experience His blessings and peace while trusting his sovereignty over your life.
King Nebuchadnezzar was a powerful and feared ruler who ruled over the Babylonian Empire. Despite his pride and arrogance, God saw the potential for redemption in him. God humbled Nebuchadnezzar and showed him the error of his ways. Despite his initial resistance, Nebuchadnezzar eventually turned to God and acknowledged His sovereignty. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show you that God's grace and mercy are so vast that even the most unlikely candidates can be transformed.
In our current culture, it’s safe to say that we all at least know what the Bible is, but as Christians, do we take it more seriously than the world? It’s easy to know what’s inside it, but do we take it to heart on a daily basis? Today, Pastor Ken explains that you need to be serious about hiding the Word of God in your heart. It’s easy to know stories from the Bible or have a sense of where everything is, but it’s much different when you’re serious about it. Transform your faith by staying steadfast in God’s Word.
As Christians, when we’re in moments that test our faith, it’s easy to chicken out and forget about God. We get so caught up in our own problems that we forget about the strength we have through His power. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that no matter how horrendous or difficult a situation may seem, God will never leave your side. Even if it seems like the impossible has to happen to deliver you from a situation—God can do that. Never lose your faith in and always turn to God first.
Often times in our walk with Jesus, it’s easy to forget the importance of our relationship with Him. We know that we’re in a relationship, but do we live it out every day as a sacrifice for what he’s done for us? Today, Pastor Ken explains that you need to be simply in or out with your faith. The more you coast, the further you’ll get from being in God’s presence. Choose to be close to Him every day and experience the massive changes in your life. Live your life like how He’s transformed you from the inside out.
In your walk with Christ, what do you do when the going gets tough? When you’re not coasting and you’re facing a difficult moment to be a follower of Jesus, what do you do? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that in the moments of your greatest vulnerability, turn to Jesus first. It’ll always be tempting to take the easy way out and forsake God, but the plans for your life will never play out how you intended. Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for your sake, live every day as a sacrifice to Him.
More and more, in our culture today, we are constantly pressured into giving up on our morals. The pressure of society to do what it says has never been so strong but this begs the question, what do you do when you know what’s right, but bend your morals anyways? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the more you bend your morals, the further you are from who you want to be. Give your life to God and stand strong against the pressures of this world. Follow Him into eternity.
In your walk with Jesus, have you ever found yourself backsliding? Have you ever found yourself slipping away from who you know you are in Christ? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that we all go through times of spiritual drought and you should never give up. No matter how solid your faith is, there will always be times when it’s a struggle to maintain your closeness with God, but He has never left your side. Never cease to be in communion with Him and keep your faith strong.
In our world today, there are so many gods that we can turn to. Whether it’s philosophy, fitness, or religion, we’re all seeking to fill a hole in our lives. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you will never be satisfied by following the wisdom of the world. If you want to truly be changed and become the person you are striving to be, you need to accept God’s free gift of grace. He has always been by your side and will never leave you. Don’t listen to the fleeting wisdom of this world and stake your claim in eternity.
As Christians, when we think about the end times, do we truly fathom what it will look like? Oftentimes, media, pastors, and even our own imagination make it out to be some extremely fantastical experience, but is it really going to look that way? Today, Pastor Ken explains that you need to always be ready for Christ’s return. You will never know when the end times of the earth are coming and all you can do is continue serving God. Don’t worry about what is to come, worry about turning hearts to the Lord.
As Christians, do we truly consider the spiritual world? We know that demons and angels exist, but do we realize how this spiritual world impacts our own life? Today, Pastor Ken explains that the spiritual realm is very real and can’t be ignored. When you’re going through a time of great difficulty and can’t understand what is stopping you from moving on, it’s a very real possibility that the spiritual realm is interacting with you. Don’t be afraid because nothing can happen to you when the Lord is by your side.
In our walk with Christ, we know that it’s impossible for anyone to know when He is truly coming back, but do we live our lives in this way? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that even though no one can ever know the time of Christ’s return, our world is getting worse and worse every day. The more you keep faking it and ignoring God’s calling on your life, the less prepared you’ll be for His glorious return. Stake your claim in eternity and be ready to join Him in His kingdom.
Has it ever felt like your life is going perfectly and yet, there’s still something missing? Have you ever been chasing after things on this earth, only to want them even more? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the things that this earth has to offer will never satisfy you, only God can. If you want to move on to doing meaningful things that make an impact, seek after God and be forever changed. He has always had you in His heart and wants nothing more than to usher you into His kingdom.
When you have dreams, what do they mean to you? Do they seem meaningless? Or do you ever try to interpret some greater meaning from them? Today, Pastor Ken explains that just like Nebuchadnezzar from the Bible, sometimes you need to take a closer look at your dreams through God’s lens. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and it was only after the Lord interpreted it, that he was able to understand the massive meaning it had for his life. Give your life to the Lord and let Him take away your burdens.
In your faith, have you ever looked down on outsiders? Maybe it’s someone who’s a brand new believer or maybe it’s someone who mocks Jesus, but have you ever treated them with less love than they deserve? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that it doesn’t matter who the person is or what they’ve done, you need to show everyone with same love and respect that God shows you. Everyone is deserving of God’s grace and you never know who He might put in your path to incite powerful change.
In your walk with Christ, when you experience difficult times, do you always turn to God? Do you always seek after Him even when you’re at your worst? Or do you try to fix everything on your own? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to always go to the Lord first in your times of need. Even when it seems like He isn’t hearing your prayers or has abandoned you, He never has and will always be right by your side. Give your burdens to Him and be set free.
Have you ever experienced a revelation in your life? Have you ever tried to discern something that happened to you, but with no success? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the only way to fully grasp the things that are happening in your life is to seek God first. If you want to experience discernment in your life and move on from the mistakes that are holding you back, give your life to God and experience His free gift of grace. He wants nothing more than to transform you from the inside out.
In your faith, have you ever felt pushback from the world? Have you ever tried everything you can to share God’s good news, only to feel like it’s going nowhere? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the world’s resistance to God will only get worse and you need to continue to be a beacon of love to those around you. The Bible doesn’t say to shove God’s gospel down people’s throats or scare them into seeking after Him. Be persistent in sharing God’s love and eventually, hearts will be softened.
In your walk with Christ, have you ever been so concerned with following all of the rules that any small amount of change is frustrating? Has someone else ever received love or recognition for their faith and you feel forgotten for everything that you’ve done? Today, Pastor Ken explains that you need to always keep your worldview as open as possible. No matter how rigid you may want your faith and rituals to be, God is always on the move and will always shake things up in your life. Keep your heart open to change.
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.
All of Scripture is a blessing to read. It’s God’s expression of love and grace in written form. As we examine today’s passage, Pastor Ken will point out that the book of Revelation brings an extra blessing for those who read it and heed what it says. So much of Scripture deals with the past or the moment we’re in, but Revelation gives us a promise of what’s to come. Not all of it is pleasant, but it reassures us that Christ will have the victory and we’ll live with Him forever in a glorious new Jerusalem.
As fascinating as it is to examine the book of Revelation with its vivid imagery and descriptions of events that are yet to happen, we can’t really begin to understand the scale and scope of what it reveals. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will wrap up his study of the first five verses of chapter 22, offering us a glimpse of what the new Heaven and new Earth will be like. It will be wonderful, with unfathomable beauty, cloaked in peace and not a hint of sin or death anywhere.
God blessed mankind with the privilege and responsibility to “rule over the earth and subdue it.” That goes all the way back to the beginning. Many have twisted this calling to an extreme, either recklessly abusing the earth or on the other end of the spectrum, worshipping it as a god itself. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will draw our attention to a beautiful restoration of our role as healthy keepers of the new earth. This new earth will also be restored as the dwelling place of our Heavenly Father.
We need relationships. There is a benefit to spending time in solitude and isolation from others, but it’s destructive when it becomes a way of life. Even Adam, the first human created by God – without sin or imperfection – still needed a companion. There are those who avoid Church and relationships with other believers, claiming they have a relationship with Jesus, but as Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, that relationship with God can’t be healthy without relationships with others.
That sounds awfully exclusive, doesn’t it? In our world that pushes for the inclusion of all people, it goes against the grain to say that only people that have been redeemed will be allowed into Heaven. But, according to God’s Word, that’s the case. There’s good news though… everyone can be redeemed. As Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, Jesus desires for all mankind to come to Himself and receive salvation. He won’t force it, but if you accept that invitation, you’re granted access to Heaven.
Our limited minds have a hard time grasping God’s ability to be everywhere at once. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, at one point, the Holy Spirit was found only in the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle and then the temple. Apart from offering atoning sacrifices and living righteously, men couldn’t approach Him and experience His presence. The good news for us is that Jesus offered an atoning sacrifice once and for all, and because of that, the Holy Spirit can dwell in each of our hearts.
Heaven is a fascinating and inspiring subject to explore. In today’s message, as Pastor Ken continues our study of the book of Revelation, we’ll examine the glimpse of offers of that glorious city. Through the centuries, many have tried to recreate these descriptions through art, but nothing can capture what it will be like to stand in that place. The most overwhelming and beautiful element of it will be the presence of our Creator. That experience alone will be worth the worst suffering this world can bring.
If you’re in Christ, you have no reason to fear the forces of evil in this world. They can harm your body and they can bring trials and hardship to your life, but they can’t touch your soul. As Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, while we don’t need to fear these things, that doesn’t mean we should ignore their existence. We need to be aware and on guard against their attacks on ourselves as well as others. These attacks are usually subtle and disguised very well, so we must be vigilant.
We tend to be very literal, and it’s hard to imagine Heaven as it’s described in Scripture. For the Heaven of Revelation to become reality it will require a complete reworking of the laws of physics and an overhaul of Earth as we know it. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, that’s exactly what God will do. He’s going to make all of this new. That includes you and me – if you’ve accepted His gift of salvation, you’re promised a new body in that glorious new existence that He’s planned.
The concept of “heaven on earth” popularized in love songs is much different than the real Heaven that will be brought to earth by our God. The pop culture idea of heaven is often centered around romantic love or our own comfort and glorification, but as Pastor Ken will clarify today, God’s heaven will be centered around Him and our intimacy with Him. The things we value and idolize in this life will be common – replacing asphalt with gold for example – and the focus of all our worship will be on God.
Sin will have an effect on us in this world. You’re no longer subject to it and you can resist it, but there’ll be times when you find yourself in a sin that you may not have even realized was a sin. That’s part of the process of following Jesus. He brings light into the dark places, and our hearts are full of dark places. As Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, as you follow Jesus, you need to remain humble and vulnerable, allowing Him to reveal your weaknesses and supply His strength.
It can be perplexing and awe-inspiring to contemplate Heaven. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, despite some voices that tell you otherwise, we know very little about what Heaven will be like. From what Scripture tells us, we mostly just know that it will be different and wonderful. God created all the systems we know as Earth and the universe, from a microscopic level all the way to the universal scale, and He’s all-powerful and can form new worlds in ways we simply can’t imagine.
Living in this world without the hope of Heaven makes this existence dark and hopeless. You may find distractions in the temporary pleasures of this world, but they’ll all fade away when you enter eternity; there will only be one thing that matters – your relationship with God. As Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, what God is preparing for us is beyond the scope of our imaginations or understanding, and it can bring you peace and joy during the suffering of this life.
That’s a beautiful event to imagine – the moment that Jesus speaks your name to the Father, acknowledging that He knows you and has redeemed you from wickedness. Think of how many people have accepted Jesus as Savior through the millennia – He values each one of us so much that He’ll take the time to introduce each one of us to the Father as brothers and sisters. As Pastor Ken will warn in today’s message, for those who reject Christ, that moment will have a much different outcome.
Are you tired of witnessing friends and family being torn down and broken apart by sin and its ravages? Satan is a very real enemy and he’s actively and aggressively waging war on mankind because he’s fully aware of how much God loves us. He’s out to cause as much grief for God as he can and he uses us as pawns in his wicked scheme. But, as Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, Satan’s days are numbered. He won’t be allowed to continue like this forever.
Satan is the father of lies. He lived in perfect communion with God before our world began but despite being able to witness the greatness of God firsthand, he let his desire for power lead to his downfall. There’s no coming back from the rebellion he chose. As Pastor Ken examines the book of Revelation in today’s message, we’ll be reminded of the fate that awaits Satan – from his imprisonment during the perfect, millennial reign of Christ to his final abolishment to the lake of fire.
Have you ever stopped and marveled at how powerful God truly is? He literally created everything! When Christ returns someday, we'll be able to observe that power. Isn't that exciting? In today's message, as Pastor Ken continues his teaching on the Kingdom of God, remember this: Even in all God's magnificent splendor and glory, He still cares about you deeply! Someone with His power could easily not care about a single soul, but God does, and that's what sets His kingdom apart from all others.
Have you ever felt like you're overlooked—unseen? Well, I've got fantastic news for you! Our God is a God of unequivocal and unbiased justice. That means that whoever you are, and no matter what walk of life you're coming from, God will have justice in the end. He sees you, and He'll never forsake you. In today's message, Pastor Ken will teach you about the Kingdom of God; you'll learn about its principles and how Christians play a part in it. God loves us deeply and wants us to be involved with Him.
As modern-day Christians, we have much more insight into the scriptures than people in Biblical times. Because we can step back and look at the complete Biblical narrative, we should have stronger faith... right? Unfortunately, this isn't the case with many Christians today, and as Pastor Ken will show us in today's message, we still have a lot to learn about the Kingdom of God. We have been gifted the book of Revelation, so why not press in and grow? Are you ready to learn today?
God has promised us paradise in Heaven. There, we will be free from violence, devastation, and all the chains of this world. Today, Pastor Ken continues his study in the book of Revelation. As he teaches, he also refers back to prophecies in the book of Isaiah. The most vital theme of today's message is that because of Christ, we have already won! When you keep the end reward of Heaven in mind, you'll realize that you have nothing to fear. And when you tackle life with this mindset, you'll flourish!
Every Christ follower on earth is made family in Christ. This is a point the Bible brings up across numerous accounts. When the Bible repeats itself, you'd better believe that we Christians should be at attention and ready to reflect on what God is trying to say. In today's message, as Pastor Ken continues his study through the book of Revelation, you'll learn that connection with your brothers and sisters in Christ is paramount. The people in your life have been put there for a reason; get to know them!
Christ will have victory over Satan in the end. The book of Revelation tells us this! So really, what do we have to be afraid of? Nothing! Today, as Pastor Ken continues his study through Revelation, we'll learn more and more about what will happen during the era of the rapture. Hopefully, you'll become all the more eager for Christ's return. Are you confident in the victory Christ has secured you today? Are there any steps you could take today to create confidence in your relationship with God forever?
You may be familiar with the ascension of Jesus to heaven. In the final days of His time on earth, the disciples witnessed Jesus going up to Heaven. But did you know days before his ascension, Jesus descends into hell to finally end the power of death over us? It was His victory march for a battle on sin and death! Pastor Ken goes further in mentioning that Jesus has not only overcome the world but the things of hell that try to ensnare the world. Today might feel like hell for you but be encouraged that Jesus has already overcome it – lean on Him!
After accepting Jesus as your Savior, the next step is being baptized. Pastor Ken emphasizes that the act of being baptized is more about dedication to the calling of God than just a profession of faith. It's telling the devil that he no longer has a foothold in your life and you are sealed as a child of God. It's reminding Satan and his minions that the sacrifice of Jesus was exactly what the world needed! Do you need to make that decision today? Reach out to your church or pastor to take that next step.
Is there a personality type that gets under your skin? Does anyone really like dealing with a habitual liar? Just so you have the reminder – Satan doesn't do anything else but lie! Pastor Ken jokingly equates it to someone that continually spews lies from their lips as soon as they open their mouth. It's unending! Today, don't get tripped up by the lies of the devil. Instead, stay planted and steadfast on the word and voice of God leading you through your day!
Revelation is a book full of wrath and judgment on the world. There's going to be a lot of destruction at the end times, but God first gives us a chance to meet with Jesus. For God so loved the world that He gave His only son for the people of this world! Pastor Ken reinforces the statement that ultimately God loves you so much that he doesn't wish for you to perish in an eternity without Him. However, what are we doing with the choice of eternity set before us? Today, choose God and His abundant life!
As a follower of Christ, the possibility of heaven should overtake our fear of hell. We don't forget that hell is real, but did you know that hell was never designed for mankind to inhabit? Pastor Ken encourages us that the lake of fire was created as an ultimate punishment for Satan and his demons. God created that desolate landscape for those that are against Him. Today, we should be spending our days saving everyone from that path of destruction and encouraging all to take heart that Jesus our Savior is preparing a place for us!
We may never know the hour of God's return but when the end times occur the whole world will be participating and spectating the sight of God's power during the years of His end times judgment. Many beasts will be on display during that time. Pastor Ken details the fact that even the birds will take part in God's plan. He paints a vivid illustration of another segment of the end times of the world. Today's message will bring fascination to the book of Revelations and what God will fulfill on Earth.
If you're like me, you've likely wished Satan would just be gone forever – abolished and destroyed! As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn that isn't just wishful thinking, but true reality that is one day coming! Can you even imagine the whole world without the Evil Influence ever touching it again? Pastor Ken reminds us that Satan’s last days are covered in detail in the last book of the Bible. Discover and be reminded again and again that Satan will come to his final judgment once and for all.
Sooner than we think, a day will arrive when every person on Earth will worship Jesus. I can hardly wait! As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn how the whole world will be powerless before Him. Some, like you and me, will have great joy at the sound of this, while others may be furious hearing the talk of such. Pastor Ken reminds us that those who are angry have refused to surrender. We who have already claimed Christ are eager for His reign to be on display!
A bride is to be cherished and beloved. And that's exactly how the Bible describes you and me. Even if you don't feel very “bride-like.” :) As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn
how those who profess Jesus as Lord and Savior before the
tribulation will become His bride. But even more, will come to Him during the end times and be present at the marriage supper. Pastor Ken reminds us the Lord's kingdom will come once again to earth in a grand celebration!
Do you know someone who overcomplicates things? Perhaps you and I have been known to do that on occasion ourselves ;) As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn how simple the call of Christ is for us: Live in His goodness and grace and follow Him in all things. Don't complicate it! Pastor Ken reminds us that the big picture is staying focused on His Word and following His will for you. He will never abandon you, even when the last days may seem overwhelming and challenging to comprehend.
I don't know about you, but I do not like losing. Not even simple board games or basic trivia! As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn just how good “perpetual winning” will be, on The Lord's Side! Imagine having a perfect score, a perfect record, and never losing again. Pastor Ken reminds us that's precisely what Jesus does for you – a perfect record now and forever! Sure, at times it may look like you are losing, but in the big picture, we win! Remember, the Lord is with you and He never loses!
Have you ever thought about how to study or what even to do with the book of Revelation? It looks at the future, so why does it matter right now? As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn about
the importance of this book. Indeed, our study here covers the
end-times and the future of the world. God is giving us a sense of urgency, showing us why telling others about Him is so vital. Pastor Ken reminds us that the enemy is real, the last days may not be pleasant, but God will take care of His own! Don't fear!
God so loved the world He made a way that we could have a relationship with the Father by sending His son to us for the first time. That's what we celebrate at Christmas. As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn there will be a second time when Jesus returns to earth to call us home. Pastor Ken reminds us that we can be assured of our protection, even as judgment and wrath are exercised. Ultimately, victory is on our side: His kingdom will reign for a thousand years!
Here Comes The Bride! If you've ever been seated early at a wedding, you know the anticipation is all about two big moments: when the bride comes down the aisle – and the moment towards the end when there is a pronouncement of “Husband and Wife!” As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn those who profess Jesus as Lord and Savior before the
tribulation will become His bride. Pastor Ken reminds us to live with the assurance of His commitment to us.
If you've followed Christ for very long, you've probably heard the church – you and me – described as the Bride of Christ. While it can help us as a practical example, this marriage will be unlike any on Earth. As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn Jesus has gone before us to prepare a home. He's returning soon to take us there. He is full of love and protection for us. Don't let yourself become afraid when studying Revelation. Pastor Ken reminds us that our groom will provide for us always!
Many believers are confused about the last book of the Bible. May I encourage you to not be hesitant in studying this great book? As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn how Revelation promises a special blessing to those who read it! Things like the antiChrist and the bowls of judgment are all things that come UNDER Jesus. Pastor Ken reminds us to keep our focus on who Jesus is, and what He's done in the past and present. Never forget: Christ wins and we are rescued!
It's exciting to see that our Lord and Savior will win the final battle as we read through the book of Revelation... But we aren't exactly there yet. As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn how we should live our lives knowing that in the end, bad will be abolished. We are called to be good stewards of what we've been given. Pastor Ken reminds us to put away the worry and fear over the end times. Revelation is a peek into the future and gives us appropriate urgency to share the hope we found with others!
This world is temporary. When everything is gone, like the book of Revelation foretells, anyone who rejects Christ will be filled with sorrow and regret. A life of hard work, the career you've worked to build, the bank account – it will all be gone. As Pastor Ken teaches today, you'll learn that it's okay to care about those things but don't live for earthly treasures. When you and I devote our lives to the Lord, we will win in the end. Pastor Ken reminds us that there is still time to set our priorities straight.
Our God is exceedingly patient with us. On your best day, you cannot match the patience of God! But what are you going to do with the patience God gives you? You could go on sinning, reasoning that God will go on being patient with you. Or you could recognize that God's patience and loving-kindness are there to bring you to repentance and back into the right relationship with him! In today's message, Pastor Ken is going to show you the ultimate end of those who abuse the patience of God.
If you're listening to today's message and you are living a life that looks more like the world around you than it does like Jesus, then Jesus is speaking to you today and saying “come out.” Come out of the world and renew your mind in my presence. You've got a choice. You can live in God's kingdom or you can live in the world. And there is no in-between! In today's message, Pastor Ken will lay out the choices and follow them all the way to their conclusion in the book of Revelation.
When it comes to books like Revelation, it can be difficult to understand what's happening and what we are supposed to learn from it. But in today's message, Pastor Ken is going to break down the basic story for us. As you heard, Satan is looking to take over everything that belongs to God. He wants to deny God his rightful place and throne. But the great news here is that God is the one with all the power and he's denying Satan. As long as you have lined yourself up with God, you're on the winning side!
Isn't God amazing? I love how he gave us our senses and uses them to draw people to himself. In today's message, Pastor Ken is going to continue through the book of Revelation to the vision of an angel who came straight from the presence of God. Because he had been with God, his countenance was shining--a bright light in the darkness! You and I are meant to be that way as well. Have you spent time in the presence of the Lord lately? If you have, be certain that the world can tell through the light you shine!
Anything that people try to do outside of the will and power of God is doomed to fail. There is no government strong enough to hold a country together politically, economically, or religiously. And yet, as Pastor Ken will show us in today's message, that's what people keep trying to do! As we continue through Revelation we will see the end of all the goals and institutions of man. We will see the end of everything he tried to accomplish outside of God. And then we get to see what God builds in its place!
What does hope look like in your life? Is it a wishful dream that will probably never come true, like “I hope I win the lottery today?” The Bible talks about an entirely different kind of hope. As a follower of Jesus, you have a hope that is secure. The hope you've been given is sure to happen because your hope is based on the promises of God! In today's message, Pastor Ken is bringing us to the end of the story, and that is a place of solid hope and overwhelming joy for the follower of Christ!
What will happen when Satan tries to wage war against the Lord? Satan thinks that he can defeat the Lord, so, can he? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about how Satan has already been defeated, and he will not stand against the Lord. When Jesus died on the cross, He took on all sin and defeated death and Satan. The war has already been won, and the Devil is severally deceived. Satan will try to fight against the Lord, but He’s already won. God is victorious overall!
What does God give us to help push the Gospel? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about how important it is that we have the wisdom of the Lord. It is through the Lord’s wisdom and the Holy Spirit that we can discern His voice from Satan. This wisdom is what we gain when we put all our trust in Him. The wisdom of the Lord allows us to hear Him better, and to be able to share the Gospel because, without the wisdom of the Lord, we don’t understand the Gospel.
Does God use different ways of communicating in the Bible? I mean, He is very clear and detailed in the writing of the Bible, so He must be communicating His point in many different ways, right? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about how the Lord will use non-verbal communication in the Bible to support His point. There’s a reason why the Bible is extremely detailed, and it is so we can see the entire picture. The tiny details of the Bible support what He is saying.
Why do we spend so much time studying Revelation? It’s the only book in the Bible that talks about things that are to come, so why is it so important if it hasn’t even happened yet? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the importance of Revelation. Revelation covers the future of the world, and God covers this to give us a sense of urgency in sharing the Gospel. It’s not meant to scare us. God also talks about Revelation to warn us about the lies that Satan will attempt.
What happens to all the people who think they are believers during the rapture? The devil is great deceiving, and unfortunately, there will be people who claim they are Christian but will be not taken up to Heaven during the rapture. In today’s message, Pastor Ken continues to dig into the book of Revelation. Revelation talks about how the unbelievers will be left behind during the rapture, including those who think they are Christian. How do we make sure we are Christian? We follow God with all our lives.
Have you ever thought that the book of Revelation is a bit confusing? I mean, the end times themselves are overwhelming, but reading Revelation can seem like a beast on its own. But did you know that Revelation was written in a way to make us understand it more? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about how Revelation wasn’t written literally. Revelation was written with many callbacks to different areas in the Bible. This is so that we can have a better understanding of Revelation.
Did you know that the Bible is FILLED with allusions toward the end times? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about how the book of Joshua points towards Revelation in many ways. Just like how Joshua describes the invasion of Canaan, Revelation talks about the invasion of the World. Instead of just one city, Christ is coming to place judgment across the World. But there is a way for us to escape this judgment. When we place trust in Christ, we avoid the deadly judgment of the world.
Revelation talks about suffering in great, gruesome, detail. Honestly, it can be scary to read at some points. Why would we read about the suffering of the World? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about how while Revelation is a warning, it is also a proclamation of God’s grace. Revelation is not an easy read, and the suffering described in it is difficult to understand. But God is so graceful and merciful that we don’t have to experience these things. The perfect sacrifice of His son gave us an out.
Revelation talks a lot about how the World will suffer. Christ allows Satan to run rampant across the world during this time. Will Christians face the same thing that unbelievers will during this time? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the never-ending grace of God. While the non-believers suffer during the end times, Christ shows grace to His believers. Christ has already taken His believers up to Heaven. Christ has given us an escape from this suffering.
Will Christians suffer during the times of Revelation? Revelation talks a lot about how the world will suffer in detail, but will the followers of Christ suffer like the unbelievers? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about Christ will always take care of His followers. When the world is suffering during the times of Revelation, Christians will not endure the same suffering that unbelievers will. God will always provide for us, and He will keep us safe through the rapture and the second coming.
What does it mean to truly love God? Going to Church doesn’t mean that we love God. We can say we love Christ, but do our actions reflect our life for Him? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about what it means for us to truly love God. When we love God, we place all our trust in Him. We let Him take control of our lives, and we chase after His heart. If we really, truly love God, we will follow His commandments. Our lives will reflect Jesus, and people around us should see that.
What is the desire of God? Revelation talks a lot about how the world will suffer at the hands of God, so did He create us just to have us suffer? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the desire of Christ for us. The world is not an easy place to live in, and sometimes it can seem insufferable. But Christ does not want us to suffer, so He sent His perfect son to take the consequence for our Sins. Sin is the reason we suffer, so Christ gave us an out. His perfect sacrifice gives us a way out of suffering.
Do we have to worry about plagues, wrath, and the judgment that is talked about in Revelation? The answer is no. There is no need to worry about suffering here on earth because as a believer you will already be in heaven. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that we don’t need to worry about the end times because we are saved no matter what happens on earth. If you believe Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead, then you are already saved. It not, it is not too late to say yes to Jesus.
You are safe in the presence of God. He promises to keep you safe from anything that this world can throw at you. No matter the circumstance, the situation, or the trials that you are going to face, God is going to protect you. He reminds us that neither life nor death can separate us from his love. Just think about that for a minute… You have nothing to fear knowing that even if you die, you won’t be separated from God’s love. Today, Pastor Ken will remind you that God’s love is unlike any other.
The book of Revelation can be confusing for many people to understand. It really doesn’t make any sense without taking into context the entire bible. There are references to Israel, the Old Testament, even going as far back as Genesis. So how do we understand what Revelation is talking about? You must have a good understanding of how God uses Old Testament scripture to explain what is going to happen in the end times. Today, Pastor Ken is going to help you by breaking down chapter 15 verse by verse.
Through this study on Revelation, we’ve learned that God doesn’t pick and choose who gets judged. Just because you go to church, go to bible studies, or preach the gospel doesn’t excuse you from God’s judgment. He sees everyone’s sin. Today, Pastor Ken will remind you that although God will judge your sin, you have an escape route. By confessing with your mouth that Jesus is lord you can be saved from your sin. When you stand face to face with God how do you want to be seen?
Do you ever feel like people get away with evil things and never face judgment? Well, the book of Revelation reminds us that God will judge every person for their sins during the end times. It may feel like you can get away with sinning on earth, in fact, a lot of evil people have gotten away with horrible acts of sin. But this doesn’t excuse the fact that God is a just God and will bring judgment to those people. Today, Pastor Ken will remind you that it isn’t your job to judge other people but to repent of your own sin.
Jeremiah 29:11 says” For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that Jesus laid down his life for you and wants to do anything he can to keep you safe and protect you. All that Jesus wants in return is for you to keep his commandments, but we aren’t asked to do it alone, God gives us the holy spirit to help guide, lead and protect our hearts from the things of this world.
The choice to follow Jesus is an eternal decision. Think about that word for a second… eternal. It means to last or exist forever. You have the choice to either last forever in heaven or in hell, but luckily there is nothing you have to do to earn your way into heaven. The only thing you must do is to believe in Jesus, and he can save you by his grace through your faith. Following Jesus doesn’t make your life easy, but it is worth it. Today, Pastor Ken will remind you that you have an eternity in heaven to look forward to.
God relies on normal, everyday people to spread His message around the world. It’s pretty incredible to think about how the Gospel started in a very centralized part of the world and is now being spread across the entire globe. We are lucky enough to have the internet, TV, and social media to be able to spread the gospel quickly to people who may have never gotten the chance to hear it. Today, Pastor Ken is going to teach you about how God will continue to use his people to spread the Gospel even during the end times.
Why do we even need the Old Testament? Some people believe that the Old Testament is useless because we don’t follow Old Testament law any more. Jesus came to earth and died for your sins so that you wouldn’t have to do animal sacrifices or special rituals. So why even bother reading the Old Testament? Well, Today Pastor, Ken is going to remind you of the incredible prophecies that are written in the Old Testament and how they are fulfilled in the New Testament scripture.
Revelation can be one of the most challenging books of the bible to understand. It talks about angels, demons, and false prophets, and gives you a glimpse into what the future will look like here on earth. This is hard stuff to wrap your mind around and to understand, but Today, Pastor Ken is going to help you get a better grasp on the book of Revelation. The most important thing to remember is that God is in control. Even when the world is falling apart the bible reminds you that God still has complete control and authority over everything. So, don’t be afraid!
How will we know who the antichrist is? Revelation gives us great insight into what signs to look for and how he will identify himself. Lucky for us, we are protected by God no matter who he is or when he reveals himself. Today, Pastor Ken is going to teach you about the mark of the beast and what the number 666 means in our context today. The technology exists for the devil to take fake being a human, but that doesn’t mean you should live in fear. Always remember that the bible tells you to find Jesus, not the devil.
“Hey Siri, play my favorite song”. This statement would have made no sense just decades ago. But today, Pastor Ken is going to teach you about the real dangers of what technology is capable of. The book of Revelation gives us insight into how the devil is going to fake being the true God. All the technology that could be used to do that is already being developed or is already developed. Using Siri doesn’t mean you worship the devil, but you must be aware of what technology can do and the ways the devil can use it.
How can you tell a truth from a lie? Sometimes It can be nearly impossible to know if someone is genuine or if they are just good at lying. The devil uses these same tactics to try and win people over and get them to stop walking with God. Today, Pastor Ken is going to remind you that there are a lot of lies and manipulation being used in the world. It is our job to use the power of the holy spirit and the word of God to be able to distinguish a false prophet from a true teacher of the Bible.
I don't know about you, but when I think about being made in the image of God, reflecting his glory, it changes the way I think about myself. The flaws fade into the background and the beauty of God's creation comes to the front. You, too, were made in God's image. He purposely crafted you to look like him and to be able to reflect his glory to the world around you. Pastor Ken is going to show us what that means in today's message. So next time you see yourself in the mirror—remember who you look like!
God created man to be in a relationship with him. He wants, above all else, to have your heart, because you've already got his! He loves you with an everlasting and never changing love. His love is so much greater than you could possibly imagine! Now, the God who created you has a right to demand your love and worship in return, but as Pastor Ken points out in today's message, our God allows choice. He lets you decide what kind of relationship you will have with him but always keeps his arms open.
Can you imagine it? In this time when claiming there was only one God was enough to get you killed, the church was still growing explosively. In a time when becoming a follower of Christ would almost inevitably get you killed, people were still making the choice to follow Jesus! Pastor Ken is going to show us in today's message what it was like to be a Christian in that time—a time not too unlike the end times. The question I have for you today is, would your faith stand up to that kind of pressure?
Revelation can be confusing to read, and the timeline isn't always clear without some in-depth study. But Pastor Ken has been diving into this book and through the in-depth study he has been showing us what it all means. Pastor Ken is going to continue today through chapter 13 where we are learning all about the unholy trinity—the counterfeit that the enemy has planned for the tribulation. But all of his lies are exposed in this book, and you have the advantage! You have the enemy's playbook.
When the enemy asks who is able to make war against him, we know the answer! As Pastor Ken shows us in today's message, God is more than able to defeat Satan. He threw Satan out of heaven in an instant along with everyone who follows him. Isn't it great to know you're on the winning side? You may not feel like you're winning today, but as you listen to today's message, you'll see that ultimately, those who follow Jesus are the ones who have total and complete victory over the enemy!
Many places in scripture show people worshipping God saying, “Who is like you, God?” Exodus 15:11 reads, “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” Every word of praise from our lips is like an arrow to the heart of the enemy. All he wants is to be like God, and he will never achieve it! He knows this, but it doesn't stop him from creating counterfeits. Pastor Ken will expose the fakes in today's message.
When you open the book of Revelation does it all feel too fantastical and crazy to be understood? There are a lot of wild pictures of dragons and beasts made of many kinds of animals. It can all get a little overwhelming and confusing when you try to make sense of it! Well, don't worry! Pastor Ken is going to take the pictures found in Revelation 13 and give them an easy-to-understand framework in today's message. This message is for everyone who ever opened Revelation and thought, “What on earth!?!”
In today's message from Revelation 13, Pastor Ken is going to reveal the Beast of Revelation. First, he shows us how he gained his power and authority in the world. It comes from Satan. Once, Satan came to Jesus with a tempting offer of ruling the whole world. But Jesus knew just how to respond, drawing on scripture for his emphatic “no”! Many many years in the future, along comes the Beast—Satan's counterfeit of Jesus—and he will accept the deal, gaining power and authority from the enemy.
In today's message, Pastor Ken is going to give us a very clear picture of who the enemy is, and what his tactics are. The enemy works only through guile and deceit and false promises. In the war we fight against him, it's important to remember this! He will try to convince you that he's not so bad, and following him will bring you good things. But he's incapable of telling the truth. If you don't know how he operates, you could fall into his traps. Stick around for a clear, full picture of the enemy you're fighting!
Everything the enemy does is a counterfeit. He can't create life. He can't come up with new ideas. So everything he does is a faint copy or twisting of something the Father has done. When it comes to the end times, he's going to try to imitate the glory of the Trinity. In today's message, Pastor Ken is going to take us through this imitation, this counterfeit, and many of the enemy's other plans. When you see the pathetic imitation the enemy tries to make, it only emphasizes the glory of the One True God.
As Pastor Ken dives into the years of the great tribulation in today's message, it's important to remember one vital thing; when you are in Christ Jesus, you are secure. You are safe from the attack of the enemy. The enemy may make it so that people can only buy or sell with his mark, but there's a greater authority at work here and it's the authority of Jesus Christ. So when the enemy tries to tell you what you can and cannot do, remember the words of Christ and walk in the freedom he gives you!
Are your lines of communication with the Spirit of God open today? Before you listen to today's message from Pastor Ken, take a minute to clear away the cobwebs in your mind. Breathe deeply and set aside all distractions. The enemy doesn't want you to hear the message Pastor Ken will bring today! But the Spirit of God has a message to share with your heart. He's here to encourage and strengthen you for the days ahead. Don't let the enemy get in the way of the blessing God has for you today!
Who are you following? Pastor Ken reminds us today that you will inevitably become like the person you're following. If you're following Jesus, it will become evident in your life as you are changed bit by bit to look more like him! But if you're not truly following Jesus, it's because you're following someone else. Who do you look like today? Does your life look a little more like Jesus' than it did a month ago? Or do you look a little more like that Instagram influencer? Which one do you really want?
Since Satan can't hurt God and has no power over Him, he's going to continuously attack God's children and those He loves. If you're a Christian, you need not worry about your eternal destiny, because you are sealed until the day of Redemption by the Holy Spirit. The worst the enemy can do to you here on this Earth is nothing in comparison to the weight of glory you'll experience in Heaven with the Lord. Today, Pastor Ken will be encouraging you to finish your race strong, regardless of the enemy's attacks.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation, he'll be explaining how the devil is cunning and parades himself as an angel of light. The truth is that the devil is the father of lies and he's been lying since the very beginning. The best way to combat the lies of Satan is to know your Bible and study it
day and night. Don't allow confusion to guide your decision-making, and instead, purpose to pray and allow the peace of God to guide your heart while making decisions.

God created the Heavens and the Earth, and He not only created man with the capacity to choose, but He also created angels with choice as well. Lucifer, for example, was created by God, and sin was found within him and he thought he could overthrow God because of pride. Today, Pastor Ken will be challenging you to repent of any pride and self-exaltation and to remain humble and contrite. The Bible says that God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Imitate your Father in Heaven, not your enemy!
The book of Revelation isn't all about the devil and the Antichrist. The book of Revelation is the revealing of Jesus and the redemption of humanity first and foremost. Today, Pastor Ken will be exhorting you to keep your focus on Jesus and not allow the evil circumstances taking place in the world to cause you to fear and become distracted. It's important to understand what the Bible say's regarding prophecy and the enemy, but more focus should be given to your Redeemer Jesus!
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation he'll be explaining how the dragon used his tail to throw one-third of the stars to heaven. This is referring to Satan causing one-third of the angelic hosts to rebel against God and follow after himself. God never made an evil being, but he made angels and principalities. These angels have been given the ability to exercise free will and make the choice to serve God or the Devil just as humanity has. In order to love God, you must have a choice.
The only reason anyone would have to fear Satan is if they aren't filled with the Holy Spirit of God. Satan and God are not equal in battling it out. Satan is a created being, and he is extremely inferior to God. So much so that it's the Archangel Michael who deals with throwing Satan out of Heaven, not God Himself. Today, Pastor Ken will be challenging you to repent and no longer allow the Devil to have a foothold over your life. You can have the Holy Spirit live within you who is much greater than the devil.
Whenever God brought judgment to the Earth, He always gave His people a way of escape. God has a way of saving His people, regardless of the circumstances. As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation, he'll be explaining how just as God delivered Noah out of the flood, God will deliver His children out of the world during the tribulation. The wrath of the Lamb will not be poured out on the Bride of Christ, but on those Earth dwellers who rejected Him.
All throughout the Book of Revelation, you see God's grace and loving kindness. Although this book explains how God's wrath will be poured out, it's still a book that contains God's long-suffering love toward humanity. Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how all throughout the Bible, God gave humanity a way of escape, even though they deserved death. Even during this time of judgment during the tribulation period, God gives those who are dwelling on the Earth a chance to repent.
As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation, he'll be reminding you that even though you are in the world, you shouldn't be of this world. As a Christian, you are just a pilgrim passing through this world, your citizenship is in Heaven! The world system is controlled by the Devil and his demonic forces, and when God's wrath is poured out, it will be on Earth dwellers. When the Bible refers to Earth dwellers, it's talking about those who don't have citizenship in Heaven.
Today, Pastor Ken will be explaining how there's a huge difference between the Christians before the tribulation period and those who become Christian during the tribulation period. Those who are currently Christian will be raptured out of this world before God pours out His judgment on the world during the tribulation. There will however be those who repent and turn to the Lord during this time of judgment, but they will be greatly persecuted by the Antichrist and the world system.
Do you ever go through your days feeling unequipped or unprepared to face the life that God has called you to? There is amazing news for you! God has given you EVERYTHING you'd ever need to do your job as a Christian in this world! God would never leave you to face everything on your own, He's with you AT ALL TIMES! Giving you the strength and wisdom to face anything that comes your way! Today, in his message, Pastor Ken will encourage you with this reality. That you're never alone!
Do you know that you are part of a huge family? Not like the one you might have on earth with a mom, dad, or siblings... You're part of a spiritual family that God has adopted you into! When you became a Christian you automatically became part of this family! Isn't that amazing news? God created you for this purpose, that you would be part of His family and be with Him forever! Wow! Today, in his message, Pastor Ken shares this amazing reality with you, that you can have peace and hope in the midst of darkness!
Do you find yourself worrying about what people around you are doing or what they have compared to what you do or do not have? It's so easy to get distracted by all the things of this world and to keep focused on what God has called us to do. But time and time again God proves Himself to us that He's trustworthy with our lives and that what He has planned for us is for our good! Today, in his message, Pastor Ken will challenge you to keep your mind focused on the things of God and not of this world, it'll be worth it!
Do you know people who live their life so closely to God that they actually start to look and act like Him? Do you think that people in your life see God in your day-to-day living? Today, in his message, Pastor Ken will introduce you to an Angel that has spent so much time in God's presence that he looks and acts like Him! Pastor Ken will challenge you to investigate your life to see where you're living for God and where you could use more of Him in your life! Others will be so blessed by you if you're more like God!
Have you ever been held captive by an addiction? We all have in one way or another. It's an overwhelming, suffocating feeling when these things have complete power over us. Today, in his message, Pastor Ken wants to encourage and challenge you to leave your addictions behind! He wants you to experience freedom from these things, to experience the pure joy that only God can give you! Pastor Ken warns us that addictions are a way to let satan into our lives, be careful to not let that happen to you!
Does thinking of what the end of the world might be like the freak you out? Do feelings of fear or anxiety take over you? It's completely normal to feel these things because how much of the end times are unknown and uncertain to us. The good news is that we have not been left alone to deal with these uncertainties by ourselves! God has left His Holy Spirit with us to guide and direct us and to give us comfort! Today, in his message, Pastor Ken might scare you a little, but rest assured, you are not alone!
In today’s world, it is so easy to have idols. Whether it be money, technology, or relationships, it has never been easier to have an idol. In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how to keep God at the center of our lives. In today’s world, we must keep Christ as our foundation. We do this by spending time in His word, worshiping, and being an active part of the Biblical community. God commands us to throw out the idols in our lives. When we keep Him at the center, He will provide for us.
What are the battles that Christians exclusively face? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the battles that we face as Christians. Satan will do everything in His power to throw us off the path of Jesus. Because of this, we need to learn how to point out the voice of the Lord in our everyday lives. There will be things that will seem like it’s from the Lord, but it isn’t. We distinguish these voices by spending time in the word of God and with His people in the Church. Satan will try to tempt us, so we need to learn to withstand His attacks.
Why do we need God? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the necessity of God in our lives. God talks about why we need Him, and it’s because He is perfect. In Jeremiah, the Bible discusses how our hearts are inherently evil because of sin. This sin keeps us separated from God, and we deserve death because of it. But because of the ultimate perfect sacrifice of Jesus, we are no longer separated from God because of Sin. He took on our sins so that we could be with Him for eternity.
Why is it important for us to look at the text of Revelation and the future of the world? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the importance of recognizing the time that we are in and looking to the world's future. Because Jesus hasn’t returned yet, we are in a time of Grace. We are allowed to place our faith in Christ. We won’t have to endure what lies ahead in Revelation, but it should be a motivation for us to share the Gospel with everyone so that they won't have to endure Revelation either.
How literal is the Bible when it comes to describing Heaven, Hell, and the state of the earth after Jesus returns? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the legitimacy of heaven, hell, and the world after God has returned. Heaven is a real place. God is preparing a place for His followers for when He returns. Hell is also a real place. Hell is for those who refuse to place their trust in God. We were separated from God, but He wanted to be with us, so God sent Jesus down to take our place. Because of this, we now can spend eternity with Him.
Wow, the place that Pastor Ken is describing sounds like a grim and scary place to be. What if I told you that Pastor Ken was describing the Earth once Jesus comes back? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken explores Revelation, and the descriptions of the earth once the period of Tribulation begins. Now, I know I definitely do not want to be on the earth during the tribulation. Thankfully, as Christians, we will not endure that! Because of our faith in Jesus, we will be in Heaven glorifying God.
There is no sport where you can be part of both teams that are playing against each other. It would be ludicrous to think that you could play on both sides of a ping-pong table, or that you could decide to play for whichever basketball team is currently winning. Why do we think we can do that spiritually? All throughout the Scriptures, it tells us that you are either with God, or you are not. Pastor Ken reminds us today that you cannot ride the fence between God and Satan. You cannot serve two masters.
It may feel like Satan has been given full authority to control people on earth. But really, his only authority is this: to steal, to kill, and to destroy. His only weapon to accomplish his goal is to lie. The only thing he can do is take the truths of God and twist them into half-truths. Today, Pastor Ken sheds some light on Satan: where he came from, how he operates, and his ultimate demise. He may seem like an unbeatable enemy, but when you know the whole story, it's easy to see how you can have victory.
Have you ever woken up from a weird dream? Dreams can be so vivid and real that it takes a moment to sort through what really happened and what was just your imagination. Sometimes, reading the book of Revelation can feel a bit like that. It can seem like it's just a weird dream or a crazy metaphor. Today, though, Pastor Ken reminds us that Revelation is a history book: a book of future history. As weird and bizarre as it may get, it is real. We don't have the luxury of deciding something is too strange to happen.
It's hard to deny that there is a Creator while looking at a beautiful sunset. Scripture tells us that part of the job of nature is to point us to God. The sun, moon, and stars all tell us a story of how amazing God is. So in Revelation, when it describes the drastic changes to nature that will take place, that's also to point people to God. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that during the tribulation, one-third of the earth will be destroyed. Why all this destruction? To point those on earth toward God, who is in control.
The tribulation will be a time of great calamity and sorrow. Revelation clearly describes the difficulties that will arise during that era. There will be death, famine, suffering, and torture beyond what we can imagine. But why would God allow all this to happen? What's the purpose of all that pain? Today, Pastor Ken shows us that all of this will happen in order that people might come to Jesus. Even at the end of the age, God still makes a way for people to hear about him and the gospel and be saved.
Making assumptions is a dangerous habit to get into. It can lead to a lot of misunderstandings, confusion, and maybe even a loss of a friendship or two. Even more dangerous, though, is if you begin to make assumptions about what the Bible says. The book of Revelation can seem incredibly weird and confusing at times. It's easy to begin to assign our own meanings to some of the passages. But today, Pastor Ken encourages you to take John's words at face value. Take his words as they are written, and nothing more.
No matter how often a musical piece is practiced, there is always the chance that the wrong note will be played at the wrong time. However, the angels in heaven who have been tasked with blowing the trumpet to announce the end have been practicing for a.....long.....time! This note has been planned and anticipated since the dawn of creation. It won't be played at the wrong time or out of key! In today's lesson with Pastor Ken, consider if you are ready for this time of judgment.
When you think of angles, you probably think of God's helpers, those who protect and guide. But come the last day, these cherubs will become avenging beings. God turns from grace to judgment, and the angels become flame throwers and warriors. Today Pastor Ken explains when the Lord opens the seventh seal, all of heaven takes notice. The angles have been prepared for this time. They know it's part of the job. Do you want to experience the wrath of God's guardians, or is your name in His book?
Have you heard the phrase, the calm before the storm? In today's lesson with Pastor Ken, you'll see something similar will happen before the day of reckoning. Silence, in the book of Revelation, is followed by judgment. God will bring His decision, and all will fall silent before His throne. This event can't be missed. Christ's people will be spared this final proclamation; the wicked and those who have already perished will be silent, but those left on earth will experience the wrath of the Lord.
When I mention the select 144,000 of Revelation, your mind thinks of some things you've heard about these people. Some religions claim these are the cream of the crop, chosen because of their deeds on earth. But as you'll hear in today's message with Pastor Ken, these individuals are never referred to as 'the church.' 'The church' is another way of describing Christ's followers, his bride. If these people are not part of the church, they are not everyday Joe who did an excellent job on Earth.
The Apostle Paul details several angels partaking in the events of the end days, as found in Revelation. God sends these angels to complete a task. In today's lesson with Pastor Ken, you'll see there will be times when the angels bring protection and peace amid death and destruction. Parts of the earth will be consumed with fire, while other areas experience protection by the angels. The Lord's judgment will be spared, for a time, so that the Lord's selected can become verified as His children.
Angels and divine beings are part of God's creation. They, like us, are created for a purpose. God guides and directs the angels to perform tasks and jobs. Today Pastor Ken shares how God has given his earthly children unique talents designed to advance His kingdom on Earth. The Bible details several spiritual gifts, but these lists are not exhaustive. For example, an auto mechanic is not listed as a spiritual gift, but you can use this unique talent to bless and advance the Lord's people and kingdom.
People often like to pick and choose what scripture they want to read rather than giving equal attention to every book. Trust me, I get it, some of the books are tougher to understand than others. You may think that Revelation is one not to worry about because surely it won’t happen in your lifetime. Well, I’d encourage you to think again and consider the way that current events are lining up with prophecy. In today's message, Pastor Ken explores the unsettling truth that the rapture is likely closer than you may think.
I bet that you weren’t expecting to learn about string theory today. As scientists and mathematicians learn more about the way that God has ordered the universe, it reveals more beauty and strikes awe at the grandness of God and his creation. In the book of Revelation, we are told of unexplainable things
happening. But are they really without a possible explanation? In today's message, Pastor Ken will explore the events surrounding the breaking of the sixth seal and show you that it may not be so far off.
The book of Revelation is one that often can leave you with more questions than answers. One of the big questions is whether or not many of the events described are to be taken literally or as a metaphor. For example, will the anti-Christ really have supernatural power? How about, is the sky really going to be rolled up like a scroll? If you’ve ever wondered about these things, then you don’t want to miss today's message as Pastor Ken explores and gives a modern interpretation of the book of Revelation.
When you think about people coming to know Christ, have you ever considered those left on earth after the rapture begins? Interestingly enough, The book of Revelation talks about what will happen to those left behind. It says that many will be saved even after the rapture has begun. Unfortunately, in light of the persecution that will take place, it will cost them their lives. Pastor Ken will continue to explore the book of Revelation in today's message in all of its wonder.
Do you like sci-fi movies? How about the movies that take place as the world is ending? You know, the ones with the Mt Everest-sized tsunami…or the ones with the storm that causes the next ice age. What they usually all have in common is bad acting and a low production budget. Well, on a more serious note, the Bible tells us what the end of time will be like. In today's message, Pastor Ken will continue to explore the end of times as he teaches through the book of Revelation.
The idea of thousands of divine beings rebelling against God is hard to imagine. The book of Revelation gives us insight into the reality of the spiritual realm that we cannot see. If you think it’s a bunch of babies with angel wings, well…think again. While Revelation is chalked full of unique and otherworldly imagery, it also tells us what the end of time will be like. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will teach you about the reality of what is to come in the not-too-distant future.
If you’ve been traveling with us through the book of Revelation, you know it’s really heavy. There’s so much suffering and hardship in store for this world. But through all this darkness, the light of God will shine even brighter. The good news is that Jesus came to rescue you from your brokenness, and sin pierces the dark to give you hope and a future. In today’s message, Pastor Ken urges you to take Jesus up on His offer of forgiveness so that you can live in peace with Him for all eternity.
Eternal life without God isn’t a joyride. It’s not some great party where you can live it up and do whatever you want. It’s dark and painful. Separation from God for all time will be agonizing. And that’s why Pastor Ken is reminding you today that there’s another way. You can follow Jesus, give Him your heart, and ask Him to forgive you for the ways you’ve messed up. He loves you and died on the cross to make way for you to live with Him in paradise when you die.
You make thousands of choices every day. From the moment you’re conscious in the morning to the time you close your eyes at night, you’re making decisions about what you’ll do or not do. Pastor Ken talks about the most crucial decision you will ever make today. It’s the question that everyone must answer at some point: Will you turn to Jesus, admit your brokenness, and ask Him to cover your sins? How you respond makes a difference in your life now and shapes your eternal destiny.
Peace seems like a pipe dream these days. There’s a new conflict in the news every time you turn around. As you’ll see in today’s passage, the current unrest is nothing compared to what will happen before the Lord returns to usher in His Kingdom. Pastor Ken explains how God will give the rider on the red horse the authority to remove peace from the world. Everything from your family to global relations will experience conflict and war. Then peace will genuinely be an impossibility.
You’ve heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing before. It’s the idea that something dangerous is disguised as harmless or beneficial. Well, that’s how you could describe how Satan will present himself during the end. Pastor Ken shares that Satan will appear on a white horse like Jesus, offering people false peace and security. His disguise will trick people for a while, but eventually, he’ll show his true colors, ushering in a time of intense destruction and suffering.
There’s so much in the book of Revelation that seems pretty. It’s full of descriptions that you may find crazy or hard to understand. Pastor Ken wants to help you better grasp what’s happening in this section of Revelation. He points out the connections between what will happen in the end and things that have already happened in the Old Testament. You’ll see how the spiraling sevens described when the Israelites defeated Jericho echo in the coming seal judgments.
Movies may depict it, but can you imagine what it would be like if millions of people disappeared instantly? In today’s edition of The UnSafe Bible, Pastor Ken invites you to think about what could happen when God’s people are taken out of this world in the church's rapture. He walks you through some of the ways this might affect daily life. From health care to food to government to relationships- there are very few aspects of life that the loss of so many wouldn’t touch.
God has an enemy. His name is Satan, and he wants to destroy everything God loves. That means you’re on his list. Satan’s goal is to steal, kill, and beat in any way he can. He uses tricks and lies to get you to follow his practices instead of God’s. You see, that’s precisely what happens during the end times. The Apostle Paul tells us that Satan comes masquerading as a good guy, as someone like Jesus. Pastor Ken helps you unpack this passage so Satan’s lies won’t fool you.
Have you ever been a part of a conversation where everyone else was talking about something you didn’t know anything about? Maybe they were discussing a shared experience, a situation at work, or people you don’t know. It was probably hard to follow along. Today, Pastor Ken explains that something similar happens when we try to understand what’s going on in today’s passage. He encourages you to put yourself in the mindset of someone from the first century AD when Paul was writing.
Differences and distinctions are on a lot of people’s minds lately. It’s a hot topic. There’s so much floating around about how people are different that it’s easy to lose sight of how we’re the same. Today, Pastor Ken reminds you that there’s unity in the Lord. When you admit how you’ve missed the mark and ask Jesus to rescue you, you are welcomed into a beautifully diverse and unique family. Because of Jesus, you’re connected. You can be one with other believers no matter how different you may be.
Waiting is hard sometimes. But doesn’t it feel amazing when the waiting is finally over? Sometimes, the joy you feel in those moments bubbles out of you. That’s precisely what Pastor Ken describes in today’s teaching. This planet and everything in it has been broken for a very long time, waiting until the day the Lord would make it new. And won’t that be a glorious day? You’ll see how the earth and everything in it rejoice as God restores Creation to what He intended it to be.
The Bible was written over hundreds of years by many different people doesn’t take away from its harmony. That’s because the Spirit of God was inspiring every word those people wrote down. Pastor Ken points out in today's message how John, the author of the book of Revelation, ties the Old Testament description of the Lion of Judah to the New Testament imagery of the Lamb of God. You’ll see how these two seemingly opposite ideas come together perfectly in the person of Jesus.
Has there ever been a point in your life where you knew nothing would be the same again? It could be the birth of your first child, getting married, or the beginning of your faith in Jesus. After an incredible event like that, you could never live the same. In history, Jesus' death marks a tipping point. Life could never be the same. Pastor Ken shows us today that Jesus' death was the death needed. No one else would need to overcome death. This was the point in history when everything changed for everyone.
How well do you handle pressure? While coal thrives under pressure and becomes a diamond, a flower is obliterated and crushed. While on earth, Jesus was under immense pressure. The redemption of all humanity that had ever existed and ever would exist depended on his death and resurrection. As Pastor Ken shows us today though, he could handle the pressure. He was the only one who could do it. There was no other way. When his time came, he submitted himself to the will of the Father for our redemption.
When you buy someone a gift, are you good at keeping it a secret, or do you let the cat out of the bag with your own excitement? Gifts are great at stirring up anticipation for both the giver and the receiver. Today, Pastor Ken teaches us that God has something that stirs up great anticipation in Jesus. The scroll in God's right hand holds all the details about the end times, something that Jesus said only the Father knows. Jesus eagerly anticipates the time when he will bring us all home.
Do you ever take for granted the fact that you live in the 21st century? Electricity, plumbing, cars, internet, and heating are all things that weren't enjoyed by our ancestors. Spiritually speaking, you shouldn't take for granted that you live in the church age. Today Pastor Ken reminds us that we have an incredible advantage that those in the Old Testament did not have: access to God. Whenever and wherever we find ourselves, we can commune directly with God. The blood of Jesus makes it possible.
How would you describe color to someone who was born blind? Could you show a deaf person what the sound of the wind in the trees is like? How could you describe the glory of God to someone who has never seen it? This was the situation John found himself in. He was tasked to write down his experience in a way that those who had never seen it would understand. As Pastor Ken teaches us today, digging into both the Old and New Testaments and the original languages helps us have an accurate picture.
The Old and New Testaments are both needed to get the full picture of God's story of redemption. To ignore one in favor of the other is to miss out on insights and revelations about God and his love. As Pastor Ken looks at the book of Revelation today, there are many similarities to the Old Testament prophets and the visions that God gave them. John sees the same things that they saw but in more detail. Because John knew the prophecies, he was able to report accurately and fully in his account.
What is the most awe-inspiring sight you have ever seen? An epic sunset? An amazing mountain view? Your spouse on your wedding day? As beautiful as all of those things are, they won't compare to the sight of God on his throne. Today Pastor Ken teaches that it won't just be an amazing sight, it's also a picture of his sovereignty and deity. This throne carries all the dominion and power of the entire universe. The only one with the right to sit on this throne is the one who created everything. He is so worthy!
Can you wrap your head around the concept that God has always existed? Probably not, and that's because God doesn't exist on our timeline. The way God sees time is altogether different from how we perceive it. Here in the book of Revelation, Pastor Ken shows us the mind-boggling time travel that John went through to receive his revelation from Jesus. We may think this is only possible in science fiction and movies, but God is not like us. He operates on an entirely different level than humans.
Have you ever seen a football player almost make it to the end zone, but they start celebrating too soon and get tackled? Or a marathon runner that ran an incredible time, but slowed at the finish line and took second instead? You can play a great game and run a great race and blow it all in the last few feet. We can do the same spiritually. Pastor Ken reminds us today that it's important to finish well. If this life is a race, we have to run all the way to the finish line. We have to get the ball into the end zone.
Nature takes the path of least resistance, and that path is always toward destruction. If you leave a piece of fruit on the counter too long, it becomes rotten. The longer a house stands, the more dilapidated it becomes. When left to their own devices, things don't get better, they slowly decay. Human beings are no different. Today Pastor Ken shows us this pattern is evident in the church as well. When the church goes without guidance and influence from God, it will decay and spiral into destruction.
When you're planning a road trip, you often have a few choices on how to get to your destination. Do you choose the shortest time, the shortest distance, or the route without tolls? Or do you pick the scenic route? Ultimately, it doesn't really matter, you will still arrive at the same destination. But as Pastor Ken teaches today, you can't have the same approach to eternal life. Spiritually speaking, the route you take to get to eternity will determine your destination. Only one route leads to life: Jesus.
Things often seem backward in the kingdom of God. Jesus said that the last would be first and the first would be last. Those who lose their lives are the ones who live. He also made it clear that those who were ahead financially were not necessarily ahead spiritually. The church at Laodicea didn't understand this concept. They were a rich congregation, able to afford whatever they wanted. They thought wealth meant that they were blessed by God, but as Pastor Ken points out today, that was not the case.
You don't have to be a college graduate to be used by God. You don't have to earn a certain amount or have a minimum number of Instagram followers. You don't have to look trendy or come from a background of religious influence. The world might look to those things to measure your success, but God looks at the heart. In some cases, like the church in Laodicea, those worldly advantages might actually make it harder to follow Jesus. As Pastor Ken shows us today, God is looking for someone with the right heart.
Talking the talk doesn't mean much without walking the walk. You can claim to be whatever you want, but if your actions don't back it up, it's meaningless. This is especially dangerous when it comes to Christianity. It's not just your reputation with others that you need to be aware of, it's your reputation with Jesus himself. As Pastor Ken shows us today, if you only talk the talk, Jesus will spit you out of his mouth. He will say that he never knew you, just like the seventh church in Revelation, the church at Laodicea.
Have you ever done something good, but you did it with the wrong intentions? Maybe you helped a widow, but it was really just to get a pat on the back. Or have you ever been nice to someone because you had something to gain from them? With Jesus, it's not enough to just do good things. He will also judge you based on why you did those things. As Pastor Ken teaches us today, it's not enough to put on a good show. All the achievements you can gain won't mean anything if they weren't done for Jesus.
Have you ever put together a piece of furniture without looking at the instructions? Sometimes the assembly is intuitive enough that you can get away with it, but often it leads to frustration. You get to assemble the furniture twice: once the hard way, and once the easy way. The same is true in life. Although we've been given an instruction manual on how to live, many choose to try it their own way first. Pastor Ken warns us though, that you don't get to do life twice. You only have one chance. Will you look at the instructions?
Today Pastor Ken points out that when science trumps creation, we no longer are an image bearer of the Lord. Replacing creation with evolution means you evolved from an amoeba. So you are an animal, no better than a skunk. But when you hold true to the fact the world and everything in it was created, you can find purpose and meaning. Jesus accepted everything written in the Lord's book as good and true. If you put your trust in Jesus, also trust His version of God, the creator.
The church at Laodicea is like a lot of people today. They forgot who God truly was. Today Pastor Ken shares in his message today, God is who He says He is in His word. You can't pick and choose what characteristics listed in the Bible are true. True Christianity isn't describing your ideal situations and only accepting those truths as you believe.
Having a finite brain is like trying to understand another culture without experiencing its customs or traditions. You cannot comprehend how this culture operates with the information you have available. Likewise, as Pastor Ken explains in today's study, it's hard to understand the Trinity, the character of Christ, or why bad things happen to good people with the limited knowledge we have in our current state. But when we arrive in Heaven, it will all become clear. Come quickly, Lord!
What if you could go through life without ever taking a test? No spelling test in elementary school, skip driver's ED test, never being tested on the date your mom was born. There is one test you'll never be asked to take if you believe in Christ. Today Pastor Ken shares how heaven dwellers, also known as believers in Christ, will be spared the test of deliverance. The great tribulation will only be for the earth dwellers who are not taken up at Christ's return. Check that test off your to-do list!
God has given everyone free will. The option to decide for themselves what they believe. The choice to obey or sin. To follow His path for their life, or pick fleshly desires. Perhaps the most important decision, to bow down and worship Christ as Savior, can be made now, or after all, hell breaks loose. In today's message with Pastor Ken, you'll see that everyone, even the demons, will eventually kneel to Christ. Making this decision now guarantees eternity in Heaven. Make this choice later, and join Satan.
The world doesn’t need the Church to accommodate them in their sin. It’d be like a surgeon telling a cancer patient that the mass is just part of them and that it’s not their place to remove it. All men and women are born with spiritual cancer. We’re born with sin and selfishness in our hearts, and they will destroy and separate us from God. As Pastor Ken will remind us in today’s message, in Christ, we can be healed and set free from the oppression and eternal consequences of that sin.
Believing Jesus is the only way to Heaven is very narrow-minded and exclusive. But, as His Creation, who are we to argue? He didn’t have to make anyway to be made right with God. God could have simply wiped us out for our prideful rebellion against Him, but He loves us too much to end it that way. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, despite the enemy’s attempt to paint us as an unloving group of people, the truth is, that we’ve found the truest love and we’re called to share it with the world.
God doesn’t call you based on your qualifications. That may feel disappointing or insulting, but God doesn’t need what we have to offer. He’s the one who gave us our gifts and talents – He has access to anything He needs. So why does He call us and desire to use us? As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message, God delights in using the weak and unqualified to draw people to Himself. He loves us and wants a relationship with us. When we see how incapable we are, we’ll see our need to fully depend on Him.
Think about the story of Jesus feeding five thousand plus people with 5 loaves and 2 fish - it was a great miracle at that moment, meeting a real need for that hungry crowd, but it also offers a great illustration of how God works with each one of us. As Pastor Ken will point out in today’s message, we have very little to offer God. Our gifts and talents are nothing compared to the problem we face in this world, but when we offer them to God, He can use them to accomplish magnificent things.
God can do anything He wants – but He chooses not to. He could have made us all like robots, programmed to do His will with no autonomy, but He knew that love required choice. We must choose to love Him and obey Him. As Pastor Ken will explain in today’s message when we make that choice to lay ourselves down and serve our Savior out of gratitude, God will work in and through us, in ways, we could never imagine. In our humble state, people will see that only God can take credit for the good we do.
When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you become a temple of the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that led the Israelites with a cloud and a pillar of fire, who came upon the one hundred and twenty in the Upper Room, and who has led numerous men and women through the centuries – lives in you. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will remind us of this fact and challenge us to remember it as we go through our day. Do your actions and words reflect and honor that Spirit that’s inside you?
The letters we find in the book of Revelation reveal aspects of who Jesus is. When He ascended to Heaven to sit by His Father after His physical earthly ministry, His spiritual ministry continued. He sent His Spirit to reveal Himself to men, as well as specifically working in the authors of Scripture – like John – to reveal His nature and prophetic visions of His second coming. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will be examining Jesus’ letter to the Church at Philadelphia and what it teaches us about our Savior.
As we continue our study of the book of Revelation, context plays an important role in our understanding of the letters written to the various Churches. Today, Pastor Ken will take a close look at the history of the ancient city of Philadelphia – a city shaken by earthquakes and living in nearly constant fear of them. They couldn’t trust the structures of man to protect them and many lived in the countryside to avoid being crushed by falling buildings in the inevitable earthquakes that were to come.
Have you ever considered where you’ll be after this life? Have you ever felt sure of what your eternity will be? Today in his message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that if you want to be sure of a glorious life in heaven’s eternity, you need to seek after Jesus. He is the only way to be truly saved. Surrender yourself to Him and be sure of your stake in His kingdom. When you give your life to Christ there is nothing that can separate you from heaven. Follow Him and be sure of your eternity.
Whether you’re a Christian or not, one of the most difficult things to do is love others regardless of who they are or what they’ve done. It’s easy when it’s someone we love, but what happens when it’s someone that we dislike? Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to show self-sacrificial love to everyone around you. It will never be easy and that’s why you need to give it all to Jesus and let Him work through you. Be a beacon of love to everyone around you through Him working in your life.
Have you ever felt perfect? Have you ever felt like absolutely nothing in your life is going wrong? It’s safe to say that the answer is probably no. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that no one is perfect and Jesus is here to save you from yourself. You will never be able to clean yourself up on your own, let Him do a miraculous work in your life. Don’t continue to walk in your mistakes and darkness. Let Jesus into your life and walk in the light through Him.
In our culture, many people believe that if you’re a “good” person, you will be saved. They believe that you can save yourself by doing all of the right things and attending a church, but this couldn’t be farther from God’s plan for your life. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the only way to claim your stake in God’s kingdom is by surrendering yourself to Him. There is nothing you can do to save yourself, it’s only through the power of His divine grace in your life. Don’t settle and follow Him into eternity.
Have you ever felt pressured by culture to change who you are? Have you ever bent on what you know is right because of what people tell you should be done? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you can’t let your beliefs be worn down by the world. The enemy will always tempt you and try to make you change your beliefs—don’t let him in. The worldly pressures will never stop and Jesus will never stop fighting for you. Seek after Him and be strong in who you are through Christ.
In our current culture, it’s easy to get sucked into the trends and lose sight of what you truly believe in. We’re constantly being told what’s right and wrong and sometimes we don’t know where to turn. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to keep a watchful eye for false teachings. It abounds everywhere and the only way to stay true to what God wants for your life is to go to His word and reference His teachings with what is being preached. Seek after Him and follow His divine plan for your life.
Are you seeing a revival in the body of believers around you? In today's message from Pastor Ken, he shares with you the importance of Christians continuing to have a humble stance before the Lord. God despises the proud but will extend grace to the humble. Pastor Ken explains that God desires for His people to humble themselves before Him. When Christians have the posture of humility and repentance, that's when revival can take place. Keep a humble and contrite heart before the Almighty God.
Just because a church has a reputation, doesn't mean it's still alive. As you listen to today's message from Pastor Ken, he teaches you that many congregations who once were thriving and bearing a lot of fruit could be now totally dead. Their body could no longer be teaching the Word of God or displaying any real evidence that they follow Jesus currently. Pastor Ken encourages you, to always look at the fruit of a church to see if it's still alive. Is the fruit yielding the fruits of the Holy Spirit?
Do you find it hard to be a Christian when you’re surrounded by people who are not? Do you see a difference in how you live your life compared to how they live theirs? The truth is that, as believers, we should feel some tension and see a difference between the way that the world lives and the way that God calls us to live. In today's message, Pastor Ken will help you identify ways that culture is pulling you away from God, even when you’re not aware of it, and how God’s actually calling you to live.
Most people will agree that cheating in a relationship is a pretty terrible thing to do. If you’ve been on either end of it, you know how bad it feels. If you’re a Christian, God considers you the bride of Christ. To honor your vows, God wants you to be fully committed to him. You probably know how hard that can be. In today's message, Pastor Ken will help you identify some deceptive compromises to being fully committed to God and will teach you how to best honor your vows as the bride of Christ.
The Bible says that there are false prophets and teachers. They will claim to be teaching God's word but are leading God's people into darkness. A good example is certain televangelists who promise blessings for your money. While some are obvious, others are more difficult to detect. The good news is that we have access to God's perfect word in the form of the Bible. In today's message, Pastor Ken will teach you to be on guard against false teachers by not compromising the word of God.
Did you know that, statistically, the percentage of people who claim to be Christians in America is rapidly decreasing? Believe it or not, other countries are sending missionaries to America. The idea that truth is subjective to each person, which is not in line with scripture, has become a common belief in the church. In today’s message, Pastor Ken will show the truth of how Satan is using the tactic of compromise to slowly cause Christians to stop believing in the absolute truth and authority of scripture.
Have you ever read a Bible story like Cain and Able, or the tower of Babel and thought, “wow, I would’ve never done that…People must’ve just been really dumb back then.” well, I wouldn’t be so quick to assume that people’s humanity has increased 10 folds over the course of time. If we were really that different from our biblical ancestors, then the Bible wouldn’t be relevant. But we know that’s not true. In today's message, Pastor Ken will show you that many problems in today's church, aren’t so different from the past.
Have you ever heard of the phrase, “There’s nothing new under the sun”? Well, it comes from the book of Ecclesiastes and it’s true! It’s especially true when it comes to issues within the church. Many of the deceptions the church faces today are like that which the church met 500 years ago. A culprit, and one of Satan's favorite tools, is compromise. In today's message, Pastor Ken will open your eyes to see that there really is “nothing new under the sun” as well as how to stay on guard against deception.
In our walk with Jesus, none of us are immune to coasting through our faith. It’s so easy to establish routines and lose the original intent behind why we’re even pursuing Him in the first place. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that in your relationship with Christ, resting on your laurels only leads to compromise. Stay true to who you are through Christ and keep the things of the world at bay. Let Him do miraculous things in your life, far beyond what this world could ever offer.
In our current society, many of us are told that the Bible is outdated and there are certain things in it that are no longer applicable to our modern lives. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the Bible will forever remain relevant and pertinent. If you choose to follow Christ, all aspects of His Word must be active in your life. When you start believing that certain parts of it don’t apply, you start down a slippery path of compromise and weakened faith. Grow closer to God through His Word in its entirety.
As Christians, many of us have grown up with the notion that it’s always people on the outside of the church trying to tear us down. We get so caught up in picking out people who are the most likely to disrupt the church, that we forget to look inside our own church bodies and hearts. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you can’t get comfortable in your Christian bubble and put blinders on as to who is actively trying to bring you down. Stay in the presence of the Lord and prayerfully seek His discernment.
In our media-first society, we get fed so many different Christian teachings that it can start to compromise our beliefs. Whether it’s video, radio, or social media, it’s easy for false teachers to creep into our viewpoint. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to always go to God’s Word when discerning messages from those who teach it. Society is slowly bending the beliefs of the church and you can’t trust someone just because of their speaking style, knowledge of history, or fashion sense. Always seek Him.
As Christians, we know that God’s power is unparalleled and never-changing, but do we really live it out in our faith? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to fully utilize God’s power in your life. In times of persecution, fear, or pain, you need to remember that Jesus will never leave your side. In His Word, Jesus makes it clear that even in places of political pushback or persecution of believers, He reigns supreme and no one can overcome His power working through you.
As Christians, we know who Satan is, but do we fully understand why he does what he does? Today, Pastor Ken reminds us that as Christians, we can’t forget Satan’s number one goal: to dismantle the church. Instead of only focusing on your own sin and how Satan tempts you, look at it from a larger perspective at how he’s slowly chipping away at God’s church. He wants you to be blinded by your own mistakes so that you can’t see the bigger picture. Don’t forget about the church at large and bring people to Him.
For many of us, when we choose to follow Jesus, we assume that all our problems will be instantly washed away. This just isn’t true and when rough patches come, this mindset can cause us to blame, resent, or even forsake God. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that when you accept Christ into your life, you need to cling to His love and promise of eternal life. You aren’t free from trials, tribulations, and persecution just from following Him. Stay steadfast in His love and He will always get you through.
Our current society often makes out religion to be elitist, judgmental and entitled. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that this notion is completely wrong. Everyone is an imperfect person and as Christians, we are all broken, following Jesus to save us from ourselves. Follow Him and experience a life full of the richness of His love. It doesn’t matter who you are or how many mistakes you’ve made, God has an inheritance for you. Humbly accept His free gift of grace.
There has always been a debate among religions as to who Jesus really is. Many of us view Him differently and it’s easy for the magnitude of who He is to get forgotten. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to view Jesus as the Lord overall. He was sent to earth in human form to save you from your sin, but that doesn’t mean that He is any different from God. When you start to live your life viewing Jesus in this way, you’ll experience assurance, peace, and hope through His promise of everlasting life.
The most important thing in our walk with Christ is one word—love. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that God has always loved you, but in order to get closer to Him, you need to let go of the things that you know He wants you to move on from. To follow Jesus is to experience the purest form of love. While this will always remain true, to encounter Him to the fullest, you need to act on what you know He wants you to do. Listen to His still, small voice and experience eternal, unconditional love.
Through social media, television, and the radio, there are endless ways for us to quickly hear amazing messages. It’s a wonderful thing to find a pastor that you love to hear, but do you make sure to check through the Bible that the message has sound Biblical truths? Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to be steeped in God’s Word and hold any messages taught to its standard. Don’t compromise on what’s true and surround yourself with Biblically inspired teachings.
In our culture, it’s easy to view the Bible as only applicable to the time period in which it was written. Today, Pastor Ken wants you to know that God’s word has always remained true even to this day. You can’t just decide to stop putting your trust in Him and only coast on the relationship. When you see the Bible as a fountain of life, just as true as the Lord, you can begin to relate to it and draw closer to Him. Take an inward look at your heart through Jesus’ letters in the book of Revelation and let it speak to you.
Do you have worries that you can never seem to get past? Are there fears that you’ve let consume you because you’ve never been able to overcome them? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that if you put your trust in God, you have nothing to fear. He is sovereign over all, the beginning and the end. Don’t keep letting the things of this world get to you and cause panic and fear in your life. Let God save you through His perfect love. You always have and always will be on His heart. Follow Him into eternity.
Have you ever been doing things on your own, only to have something out of nowhere completely change everything about your life? In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that you need to give it all to God and let Him guide your life. He has a divine plan for you and the plans of your own will never be good enough. Follow God and His will for your life will take you to places you could never have dreamed of. Even when we don’t understand why God is doing what He’s doing, He has the best plan for us and we need to submit.
There are so many different views on the book of Revelation. Some people choose to center their life around it, while others completely ignore it. In today’s message, Pastor Ken wants you to know that the book of Revelation is very real and at some point in time, trials and tribulations will come. As Christians, we need to have a mindset like John’s. Instead of worrying about how awful things might be for you on this earth, look to His kingdom and rest in the peace that one day you will join Him.
All throughout the Bible, Jesus has different ways of calling himself, God. He describes himself as the living water, the son of man, and the cornerstone. Here in Revelation, Pastor Ken shows us another motif used to describe his deity: clouds. Often in Scripture, the mention of clouds is tied to Jesus. When Jesus said he will come riding on the clouds, it was a way to let people know that he is God, and he is coming back to earth. As you read Revelation, you can trust that it is true because Jesus is God.
Do you know someone who always embellishes their stories? It doesn't matter if they are telling you about the number of fish they caught or how long they got stuck in traffic, you know it's not really the truth. They are not a good witness to their testimony. Today, as Pastor Ken looks at Revelation, he shows us that Jesus is the ultimate, truthful, faithful witness. As he tells John this revelation about the end times, you can trust that it is true and will come to pass exactly as he says because Jesus is God.
Many people think of the book of Revelation as scary and difficult to understand. Yes, this book does give an account of some frightening things, but today Pastor Ken wants you to know that you do not need to be afraid of any of it! These prophecies are only scary if you are not a believer in Christ. The book of Revelation is for you to know and understand. Jesus wants his people to be aware of all the events that will take place in the future so that we will be motivated to lead others to Christ.
Have you ever done a word study of Scripture and found yourself asking why it is that God used one word when He could've used another? While many of us get hung up on God's methods, deep-diving into the intricacy of Scripture is a whole other can of worms! In today's message, Pastor Ken reflects on one of these instances of Scripture that God uses to reveal more to us. In his study, you'll gain a better understanding of the meticulous, omniscient ways of God, which are perfect.
Chances are you've seen your fair share of movies that are what we commonly refer to as “apocalyptic.” You've probably also heard others respond to catastrophes with “here comes the apocalypse.” Did you know that's not actually the proper use of the word? In today's message, Pastor Ken reflects on the purpose of the Book of Revelation, or “apocalypsos” which is to reveal. In his study, you'll learn that rather than a book of doom and gloom, Revelation was written to reveal to The Church what must come.
With the amount of tension we see growing all around us over identity, race, or otherwise, it can be easy to get caught up in the debate. However, as believers and followers of Christ, we would do well to remember that we're not a part of this world. As Pastor Ken will remind you in his message today, our citizenship is of a nation that transcends the ways of this world. In his study, you'll be encouraged to regularly meditate on this reality and to act accordingly as we patiently await the Day of The Lord.

The one thing I continue to find incredible as I study the Bible, is how relevant the entire Bible, Old and New Testaments, are to us today. It is truly the living word of God and our digging into this next section of Isaiah will leave us wondering if he is writing directly to us in the 21st century. Solomon was totally correct in his assessment of history in Ecclesiastes 1:9 where he says “That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.” (NASB95)
For Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, he was able to see that there appears to be a lack of learning from the past to apply into the present. We have a tendency to repeat things because we have failed to learn from our actions the first time around. Isaiah will begins to speak to that here in chapter 2.

Isaiah 1:1-20 - Israel Indicted Notes: https://www.theunsafebible.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Israel-Indicted-Notes.pdf
Isaiah presents the formal indictment that God levels against Judah. History is explained in advance for both the northern and southern kingdoms. This history is a preview of coming events that will happen soon, as well as events that will happen way off into the future. Everything is about to change for both kingdoms.
