The UnSafe Bible Pastor Ken Brown

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.
