The Nations Rage but Christ Reigns by Franklin City Church

IntroductionWe confess that Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, but we might ask, “What difference does that make today?”After all, we cannot see him. We still live in a world filled with evil, persecution, and injustice. At times, we might think that Christ has left us as orphans. Psalm 110 answers those doubts. David shows us that Christ's ascension was not his retreat from the world but his glorious enthronement. Our risen Lord now reigns as our King, represents us as our perfect High Priest, and will one day return as righteous Judge. His throne is the church's comfort because his work is complete. So, how do we know this is true?Christ Reigns as Our Enthroned KingPsalm 110 begins with the Father inviting the Son to sit at his right hand. Christ's sitting communicates that this work is 100% complete. Christ has finished his humbling earthly work of redemption and now reigns with all authority.His reign does not mean the world immediately becomes peaceful or enters a golden age. Psalm 110 reminds us that Christ rules in the midst of his enemies. Evil still opposes the gospel and seeks to challenge Christ. The church still faces hostility. History continues to ebb and flow between seasons of ease and seasons of persecution.Nevertheless, none of this threatens Christ's kingdom that is ministered through his church. Even when his enemies rage, they do so only under his sovereign rule. He continues to gather his church, preserve his people, and govern history according to his perfect wisdom. His heavenly throne assures us that appearances of evil, sin, and persecution never overrule Christ's enthronement. Christ truly reigns in the midst of his enemies. Christ Represents Us as Our Eternal PriestWe can say, “Christ is in heaven? He is absent from us! How can you say that he represents us when he is removed from us?” We are asking the wrong questions! We are assured that the ascended Christ is present with his people. He continues his ministry on our behalf in the heavenly sanctuary. He is not like a mere mortal who can only be in one place at a time. He can be in heaven, and still dwell in us and with us. Psalm 110 tells us that Christ is in the order of Melchizedek. He is a priest who ministered in Jerusalem when Abraham triumphed over Lot's captors. Genesis compiles a genealogy for each significant person. However, Melchizedek breaks this trend. He has no genealogy to communicate his birth. He has no record of his death. He is a priest without beginning or end. Christ is a priest in this order. Christ never grows weary interceding on our behalf. Christ never grows weary of protecting us and leading us by his Spirit. In the Holy Spirit, he unites us to himself, strengthens his church, and equips his people to serve him faithfully.Psalm 110 reminds us that God's promise concerning this Priest-King will never change. Unlike the temporary priests of the Old Testament, Christ's priesthood is everlasting. His sacrifice is complete. His intercession never ceases. His protection will never expire. Our acceptance before God rests entirely upon the finished work of Christ. His heavenly enthronement testifies to us that his work is truly complete. Christ Will Return as Our JudgeThe same Christ who now reigns in the midst of his enemies will one day return to judge the living and the dead. His invisible reign will be very visible on the day of his wrath. We realize the day of the Lord after Christ's enthronement, but not the full physical blessings of the day. We already have the guarantee because Christ is enthroned, giving us his Spirit. However, we wait for the fullness. Christ will bring the conclusion to the day of the Lord in the day of his wrath. (Gospel Coalition: “Day of the Lord” is worth a read) For unbelievers, that day will be a day of wrath. Every rebellion against God's King will finally be brought to an end. Christ will address every injustice that has been done. In fact, every knee will bow to Christ. It is better to bow the knee now and take Christ's yoke upon yourself rather than to bow the knee as Christ's enemy on the day of his wrath. When we bow the knee today and take Christ's yoke upon us, we will be comforted by his return. It is on that day when we realize the full physical blessings of the day of the Lord that we will be taken into our rest. Our king will visibly rule us because his eternal priesthood guarantees it. His sitting in glory testifies to the successful completion of his mission. He will bring his people into the full glory of his rest. Ruling in the midst of his enemies is only between his first coming and his second coming.Until that day, we may grow weary. We face suffering, disappointment, and spiritual battles. Yet Psalm 110 closes with the image of refreshment, reminding us that Christ himself sustains his people as they journey toward glory. His people drink from the river of life as they are united to their glorified priest-king. The One who conquered through suffering now supplies his church with the living water that enables us to persevere. He will preserve his people as they persevere in him.ConclusionChrist's ascension is not the story of a Savior who left his people behind. It is the declaration that the work of redemption is finished and that the victorious King now reigns from heaven.He rules over his church in the midst of his enemies. He continually represents us as our faithful High Priest. And he will return to judge the world in perfect righteousness.Therefore, when the struggles of this age tempt us to lose heart, Psalm 110 calls us to lift our eyes to the throne of Christ. Our Priest-King reigns. His kingdom cannot fail. His Spirit sustains his people. And the day is coming when every enemy will publicly bow before him.Until then, let us continue to drink deeply from the river of life. This is the life that he freely gives. Let us rest confidently in our ascended Savior. He unites us to him, we taste his goodness in his Spirit, and he will visibly come to bring us to glory. Let us long for the day when he brings us into the full physical blessings of his kingdom. Today, he rules in the midst of his enemies, but he will bring us to glory on the day of his wrath. Let us drink deeply of the river of life as we walk in his Spirit. He will bring this creation to its glorified goal because his enthronement guarantees it.

Pastor Jeff Smith preaches on Ephesians 1:15-23, HIStory: Christ Reigns in You and Me. https://www.youtube.com/live/SdzFOL8ptXQ?si=ZTPB-rpoMl6HlLoq&t=2437

In Ephesians 6, Apostle Paul introduced a perspective and way of life that ran counter to the societal practice of slavery of his day. By declaring the lordship of Christ over all, it rewrote identity, motivation and community. Thus, the Gospel didn't immediately remove slavery, but it removed it's power to define people. Similarly, it translates to our work life today. Are we letting the lordship of Christ define the paradigm? Or are we still treating it as trying to satisfy an earthly master, instead of as a platform to represent God?--To hear more messages from The Image Church, subscribe to our podcast or YouTube channel.

Philippians 1:12-14

PM

The reliability and historical proof of Christ are undeniable. Peter is preaching what is true of Jesus, and of what humanity did to Him. We all must come to answer the question: "Who is Jesus?", and if He is real, then He is Lord and worthy of giving our lives to.

We are called to proclaim with open tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord.

We welcome Dr. Peter Kwasniewski to discuss the urgency of proclaiming Christ as King here and now, not merely as a future sovereign. He and Fr. McTeigue trace the shifts within the Church that have downplayed Christ's reign, and they evaluate the consequences. 

Modern Conservatism is collapsing, and it isn't because of the Left. It's because the Right has abandoned biblical order, biblical loyalty, and biblical leadership.In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm examining how our so-called conservative leaders have traded Christianity for political convenience, elevating foreign loyalties, unbiblical theology, and female authority over God's clearly established design. When prominent figures openly choose Judaism over Christianity and Israel over America, we must ask: What exactly are we conserving anymore?Scripture is clear: Christianity is a patriarchy with God as its Head, Christ as King, and men called to lead in righteousness. A movement that rejects this order will inevitably rot from the inside out.This episode is a call to return to:Christ over cultureFaith over foreign allegianceGod's elect over globalist prioritiesBiblical men over platformed female personalitiesIf Conservatism wants to survive, it must first repent.--https://www.bible.com/

Sermon preached by Fr Matt Tebbe at The Table's worship service on November 23, 2025, Christ the King Sunday)

On Christ the King Sunday Pastor Dan reads Luke 23:33–43 and reflects on Jesus's paradoxical kingship—reigning not with worldly power but through sacrificial love on the cross. He contrasts the mocking thief who sought earthly rescue with the penitent thief who trusted Jesus and received the promise of paradise. Drawing from Colossians and Revelation, the sermon encourages gratitude for temporary blessings while keeping hope in the eternal kingdom, urging listeners to live under Christ's sovereign reign.

When the world trembles and the heavens are shaken, where do we stand? In this powerful Lutheran sermon, “The Heavens Will Be Shaken, But Christ Reigns” (Luke 21:5–28), Pastor David Balla proclaims the unshakable hope found in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Daniel Longmore | Ephesians 1:15-23 | GI Free Church

Today, we're talking about the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. This was not only an attack on Charlie, it was an attack on our movement, on conservatism, and on America itself. We need to demand answers about who did this, acknowledge that this was a political assassination, and demand that the assassin receive the death penalty. We want him publicly hung so that we know this evil man is gone for good.Political violence is never the answer. But if they will target someone as polite and kind as Charlie Kirk, then it's clear that every Conservative now has a target on their back. We must honor Charlie by ensuring a worthy replacement rises at Turning Point USA. This dark moment is more than tragic, it is the turning point for the USA.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Psalm 2 challenges us in that the emotion that is expressed is a lament for the lostness of the Gentile Kings who are representing in the Psalms.  Heaven's perspective is shared to provide security, the Messianic King speaks affirming his ultimate purpose (representation, resembling the ideal godly man, and ruling in a way that is good, leads to flourishing, and participation in the Mission of God), and it ends with advice given to the Gentile Kings to come under the Good rule of the King set by God in order to be blessed.  This Psalm leads us to Repentance, Faith, and a Heart for Mission.

The resurrection reminds us that Christ reigns over all, both now and forever; which gives us hope in our trials and power for our mission until He comes again.

What makes Jesus Christ uniquely worthy to sit at the right hand of God? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Hebrews 1:1–4 to examine profound truths about Christ's person and work.

Bruising is needed so that reeds may know they are reeds, not oaks. Reeds need to be bruised because of the pride in our nature, the removal of which lets us live by mercy and faith. It is a difficult thing to bring a dull heart to cry for mercy. Our hearts, like malefactors, until they are beaten from all sides, never naturally cry for mercy from the Judge. But this bruising makes us set a high price upon Christ. It makes us more thankful and more fruitful in our lives. Whatever claim sin has on a man, bruising or breaking is the end of it. This spark of hope, being opposed by doubts and fears arising from the corruption of sin, makes him as smoking flax. Thus, both these together, a bruised reed and smoking flax, make up the state of a poor, distressed man. Our Savior terms such a one as poor in spirit. Christ will not break the bruised reed or quench the smoking flax. Though physicians put their patients through much pain, they will not destroy their patients' bodies but will do their best to heal them. Surgeons will cut, but not dismember. A mother will not cast away a sick or disobedient child. Shall we think there is more mercy in ourselves than in God, who plants the affection of mercy in us? To further declare Christ's mercy to all bruised reeds, consider the comforting relationship He has taken upon Himself of husband, shepherd, and brother, which He will discharge to the utmost. It cannot but cheer the heart of the church to consider, despite all the infirmities and miseries she is subject to, that she has a Bridegroom with a kind disposition. He knows how to give the honor of kindness to the weaker vessel and will be so far from rejecting her because she is weak that He will pity her all the more. He is kind at all times and will speak to her heart, especially when in the wilderness. About the Author Richard Sibbes (1577-1635), an influential Puritan preacher and theologian, served at Gray's Inn, London, after being ordained around 1608. His key writings include The Bruised Reed, The Soul's Conflict With Itself, and The Saint's Safety in Evil Times, and his sermons are preserved in The Works of Richard Sibbes.

The ultimate hope for all Christians is the new heaven and the new earth, where everyone will see God as King over all.

Rev. Chris Hull, pastor at Zion Lutheran Church in Tomball, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Revelation 20:1-15. When John sees the one thousand year reign of Christ, He sees the reality that exists right now that Jesus is the Stronger Man who has bound the devil and brought us into His heavenly kingdom. This reality continues until the Last Day, even as Satan's attacks grow stronger and his attempts to deceive and work evil grow more desperate. Even though the Church seems weak, those who trust in Christ truly reign with Him; they have been made alive by faith and have eternal life right now. Not even Satan's worst attacks against the Church will prevail; the Lord Jesus will win the final victory over him and throw him into the eternal lake of fire. On the Day of Judgment, Christians have confidence because their names are written in Christ, the Book of Life. “Come Lord Jesus!” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Revelation given to St. John. Although some look at Revelation with fear, it is a book of supreme hope in our crucified, risen, and ascended Lord. The book of Revelation gives a heavenly perspective on our earthly circumstances so that the Church in every generation is challenged, comforted, and assured of final victory through Jesus Christ.

The ascension of Christ to the right hand of the throne of the Father is one of the most overlooked parts of the gospel message. Here is how this truth affects our lives.
