Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 6:1-3. We crave justice—deeply. When someone wrongs us, cheats us, mistreats us, or lies about us, something in our soul cries out, "Make this right." But too often we run to systems that don't share our worldview, don't understand our values, and don't operate under the Lordship of Christ. It's no wonder Paul is stunned: believers are running to secular courts to solve spiritual family matters. Before Paul rebukes them, he raises their identity: When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! — 1 Corinthians 6:1–3 This is Paul at his sharpest—and most surprising. "You will judge angels." He's not talking about cute heavenly messengers. He's talking about evil angels—fallen beings—those who rebelled against God. That's cosmic responsibility. That's eternal authority. That's weight reserved for the redeemed. Paul's point is simple: If God trusts you with cosmic judgment, why can't you handle everyday conflict? The Corinthians were acting spiritually powerless, begging unbelievers to settle disputes that believers—with the mind of Christ—were more equipped to handle. Their shame was magnified because they were behaving like spiritual infants while being destined for heavenly authority. Paul isn't telling Christians to reject the legal system entirely. He's telling them to stop outsourcing what God equipped the church to handle spiritually and relationally. You're going to judge angels. You're going to judge the world. You're entrusted with eternal authority. So act like it now. Paul's rebuke invites us to recover something the modern church has nearly lost: Spirit-filled, Scripture-shaped, wise believers resolving disputes in the household of faith. We're not powerless. We're not dependent on the world for wisdom. We're not helpless victims needing secular referees. God has given His people everything they need—truth, Spirit, counsel, unity, courage—to handle conflict within the family of God. Paul's message is this: You carry future authority, so live with present responsibility. Don't act like someone who needs the world to fix what the Spirit can resolve. DO THIS: Ask God to help you handle conflict with spiritual maturity. If there's a grievance you've been tempted to take outward, bring it inward—to wise believers who can help you resolve it with grace and truth. ASK THIS: Where have I run to worldly systems for justice instead of pursuing reconciliation within the body of Christ? Who in my church family could help mediate a conflict biblically and wisely? How does my future role in God's kingdom shape how I handle conflict today? PRAY THIS: Father, give me wisdom and courage to handle conflict in a way that honors You. Remind me of the authority You've given Your people, and help me pursue reconciliation with humility and strength. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Justice"
Pastor Tom Messer addresses how Christians should engage with politics while maintaining gospel unity within the church. He emphasizes that while politics is important, it is not ultimate; only the gospel of Jesus Christ can truly transform hearts and society. Pastor Tom Messer warns against both political idolatry and political despair, teaching that Christians can disagree on political issues while maintaining deep spiritual unity through their shared commitment to Christ. The core teaching focuses on developing humility, renouncing personal rights, and submitting to the Lordship of Christ as the pathway to joyful unity in a complex, divided world. He stresses that the church's witness to the world depends not on political uniformity but on demonstrating supernatural unity through the gospel.
Today we are going to talk about the Lordship of Jesus.
Opening Remarks and Introduction The Holy Spirit is moving and filling those present. Many attendees shared testimonies. Expressing gratitude for the morning’s events. Reference to Matthew 8:23-27, the story of Jesus calming the storm. Invitation to be saved, emphasizing the Holy Spirit’s presence and potential impact. Going to the Other Side Jesus told the disciples, “let us go to the other side.” God is working in ways we may not understand. Personal testimony of faith since 1976, trusting in God’s promises. Jesus was going to the other side to free a man possessed by many devils. Everything the Lord does is on purpose. The Lord showed up with a purpose. Entering the Ship The story in Matthew is a real event with spiritual significance. The Word of God will help, even if it’s bitter at first. Personal testimony about when Christ entered Pastor Tommy’s life. Giving up ownership and control to Jesus as captain. Jesus found Pastor Tommy when he was destitute and lost. Encouragement that nothing can repel the King of Glory from loving you. The Lamb of God wants to come aboard, regardless of the state of the “ship.” The Lordship of Christ To have Christ in your ship, you must give Him the right to run it. He is Lord and Master, not just a friend or co-pilot. Trusting God even when His plans are unclear. Reminder that He is in control and will bring you to the other side. The Tempest Having Jesus in your boat doesn’t mean you won’t face rough waters. The boat may rock and fill with water, but it will float if Jesus is in it. Personal anecdote about forgetting to put the plug in a boat. Feeling in jeopardy and not knowing which way to turn. Assurance that if He’s in the ship, it will keep floating. Don’t let the storm surprise you. There will be winds and news that you can’t control. There is only one that can save you. If he’s in the boat, you’re saved. The Storms of Life There will be times of sweetness and ease, but also times of hardship. God allows winds to rock the boat to keep us awake and ready for His return. Hard times and experiences are a part of the journey. Assurance that He will stay in the boat with you, and it won’t go down. Jesus Asleep There are times when we wonder if He is asleep or has left the boat. Good news: He sleeps no more since the resurrection. He is always awake and able to calm the storm. Reference to Elijah teasing the prophets of Baal, whose god was asleep. In despair, we may think He doesn’t care. One of the disciples asked, “Master, do you not care that we perish?” At some point, we realize we need the Master’s help. Reference to the song “Somebody Woke Up the Master.” Access to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace. Call on the Master Personal testimony of calling on the Master in times of trouble. The boat was riddled, but it stayed afloat. The course is set, and it will make it to the other side. Even in dark places, He is there and sees everything. Reference to John’s message that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. Asking for Help Spiritually, waking up the Master is equivalent to asking for assistance. We have not because we ask not. It’s better to call on Him when your ankles are wet than when your knees are. Eventually, you may have to bow and admit you need help. The disciples woke Him up, explaining their situation in a few words. “Lord, save us, we perish.” Why Are You Fearful? Jesus’ first response was, “Why are you so fearful?” He then answered their question, pointing to their lack of faith. Our problem is not letting Him and the miracles of God be greater than our circumstances. We give more credit to what we see and taste than to the God of glory. He has never lied, and His promises never fail. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” “Those that believe in him will never perish.” Peace, Be Still Jesus stepped up and said, “Peace, be still.” Both the wind and the waves obeyed Him, and there was a great calm. What is a greater miracle: calming the storm or keeping a full boat afloat? Reference to the story of the man with palsy being lowered through the ceiling. Jesus forgave his sins and then healed him, demonstrating His power. Often, we don’t recognize the miracles occurring during our storms. Even if the boat is full, you are going to the other side. He is in the Ship Jesus was asleep because He knew they were going to make it. Some expect a calm, but God helps even when it’s not calm. The best part is that even when you think you’re sinking, you’re still floating. You’re not going down because He is in the ship. If He’s not in your ship, you’re going down. As a pastor, Pastor Tommy can assure you that you’re not going down if Jesus is in the ship. All Things Work Together for Good Romans 8:28: “All things work together for good to them that love God.” If God is for us, who can be against us? It wasn’t the calm that got them to the other side, but the word of Jesus. The circumstances were irrelevant. The promise of God will sustain you in spite of your faith. It wasn’t their faith that would have drowned them, but their fear. Whether it’s calm or the boat is full, His word doesn’t change. You will go to the other side just like He promised. Closing Remarks There are days when faith won’t cut it, but we’re still here because He’s in the boat. Learning to like the storms because that’s when the greater miracles occur. The question is not if you’re going to make it, but if He’s in your boat. If He’s not in your boat, you have a real problem: you’re without remedy, savior, or hope. You must be born again for the promises to take place. Invitation to let Him in.
This powerful exploration of the Lord's Prayer challenges us to move beyond mere recitation and into genuine transformation. The phrase 'Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done' isn't just words we memorize—it's a daily call to complete surrender. We discover that our greatest stress points—unexplainable pain, uncooperative people, and uncontrollable circumstances—all stem from our desperate attempts to maintain control. The sermon draws from Matthew 6:9-10 and Philippians 4:11-13 to reveal a profound truth: the only path to serenity is surrender. Like Paul in prison, we're invited to learn contentment as a spiritual discipline, not a natural response. The message reminds us that when we grip life like a wet bar of soap, squeezing harder only causes us to lose control. Instead, we're called to hold life with open palms, trusting that our loving heavenly Father knows our yesterday and our tomorrow. The Serenity Prayer beautifully captures this tension—accepting what we cannot change while finding courage to change what we can. This isn't about giving up; it's about giving over. When we stop fighting God for control, we discover that peace doesn't come from managing our circumstances but from surrendering to the One who holds them all.

We live in an age drowning in words but starving for meaning. The modern world treats speech as a tool for power, outrage, and self-promotion. Scripture presents something radically different: words as covenantal acts before the living God.The Perspectivalist Podcast exists to recover a distinctly Christian vision of language, culture, and public life. If Christ is Lord, then rhetoric is not merely technique; it is stewardship. The Christian task is not merely to win arguments, but to speak in ways that honor Christ, build neighbors, and cultivate a civilization shaped by truth, goodness, and beauty.Season Seven begins with a simple conviction: culture rises or falls on the words it loves. And therefore, Christians must learn to love words rightly.

Did Jesus stay silent on abortion and homosexuality, or are progressive politicians twisting Scripture to fit a modern agenda? In this LIVE FREE reaction video, Pastor Josh Howerton responds directly to James Talarico's viral claims on Joe Rogan that Jesus “never talked about” homosexuality or abortion and that Christians have made these issues central for political reasons. Walking carefully through Scripture, this episode dismantles the argument from silence, explains why Jesus' affirmation of Genesis defines marriage clearly, and shows how the New Testament directly addresses sexual ethics and the sanctity of life. If you've heard these talking points online and felt confused, this is the biblical clarity you've been looking for. You'll learn: Why “Jesus never said it” is a weak theological argument How Matthew 19 defines marriage and excludes modern redefinitions Why Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 directly address homosexuality Whether abortion is truly absent from biblical teaching How cultural pressure reshapes theology and how to resist it Why the real issue is the authority of Scripture and the Lordship of Christ This isn't about politics. It's about truth.

Is it biblical? Lordship Salvation teaches that individuals are saved when they surrender and submit fully to Christ's Lordship. This is contrasted with so-called “easy believism” or the concept that salvation is offered freely and needs only to be received (Romans 6:23). Jesus did tell us what He offers is “easy” and “light” and brings “rest” (Matthew 11:28-30). In addition, He told us that whoever believes in Him (even those who believe on His name) has eternal life (John 3:16; John 1:12). Salvation is indeed a gift of God so that no one can brag they surrendered or sacrificed enough to earn it (Ephesians 2:8-9). In short, Lordship Salvation is a crippling doctrine that causes morbid introspection and hinders assurance of salvation.
Episode Synopsis:Paul is in Macedonia preparing to head south to Corinth. So far, he has written to the Corinthians about his office and authority and he has encouraged them to wrap up their efforts to collect an offering to be sent to the struggling church in Jerusalem. The Corinthians have been a difficult bunch for Paul, but when he wraps up the letter we know as in 2 Corinthians in chapter 9 he is both joyful and confident that the Corinthians understand his office and role in the apostolic churches.But then Paul gets news which can only be described as infuriating. A number of men–apparently Jews claiming to have the blessing of the Jerusalem church, yet who use Greek rhetorical gimmicks, and who brag about visions, revelations, and who claim to have performed miracles–have infiltrated the Corinthian church in his absence. Paul is understandably upset and the apostolic gloves come off. He describes these men as false teachers and apostles who preach a different gospel, a different Jesus, and a different Holy Spirit than he has taught the Corinthians. He even identifies them as agents of Satan. How can the Corinthians be so foolish and gullible? We can only imagine Paul's frustration with these people. R. C. Sproul's words come to mind here–”what is wrong with you people?!”So before Paul returns to Corinth, he adds chapters 10-13 to what he thought was his completed letter. He will send Titus and the others south, while he wraps up his remaining business in Macedonia. Unlike the specious charges raised against him by the false teachers and gospel peddlers, Paul will demonstrate that he is every bit as tough in person as he is in his letters–a charge which has been leveled against him by the false apostles. He will challenge these agents of Satan and their false gospel by reminding them that divine warfare is conducted in the power of the Holy Spirit (not grounded in the flesh as these men were doing) and that Paul's gospel can destroy all lofty opinions and take every thought captive to the knowledge and Lordship of Christ.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/
In this episode of Unique Scotland, John Harbour explores the origins and evolution of the Scottish clan system, tracing its roots from the painted Picts and the Gaels of Dál Riata, through Viking invasions, to the formation of Alba (early Scotland). The clans emerged as tightly-knit communities bound by kinship, loyalty, and mutual protection, thriving in Scotland's rugged landscapes. Clans were not solely based on blood ties; many adopted the chief's surname for solidarity, and associated families, known as Septs, became integral parts of clan society. The episode recounts famous feuds, such as those between the MacLeods and MacDonalds, and highlights the significant influence of powerful clans like the MacDonalds, MacLeods, Campbells, and Mackays. The dissolution of the Lordship of the Isles in 1493 by James IV marked a seismic shift, as the Crown sought to centralise control over the Highlands, leading to tensions between traditional Gaelic communal landholding and feudal systems. Despite political, economic, and social upheaval, clans remained resilient, adapting to changing circumstances and maintaining their identity and traditions. The episode concludes with a reflection on the enduring spirit of the clans and a promise to explore their decline and modern resurgence in the next instalment.
*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation explores the end of fixed ministry roles and the emergence of a fluid, Spirit-led divine order centered entirely in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Rather than assigning titles such as apostle, prophet, pastor, or teacher through human designation, the discussion emphasizes that Christ Himself manifests through His body as needed, moment by moment, by the Holy Spirit. Rigid structures often limit spiritual flow, while humility, flexibility, and recognition of Christ in one another allow true divine order to function. Jesus modeled the fullness of ministry, showing that ministry is not a position to hold but Christ to be lived. Show Notes Ministry roles are expressions of Christ, not static titlesDivine order is fluid and Spirit-ledThe Holy Spirit determines function and timingJesus embodied all expressions of ministryHumility and flexibility protect against prideRecognition of Christ replaces formal designationThe fivefold ministry becomes a shared realityFocus shifts from identity to union with ChristLove and intimacy with Christ release authentic ministrySpeak Christ, Live Christ becomes the posture of the body Key Quotes “Divine order is fluid.

He's all in one.”“You do not have to have recognition to function in what God puts in your heart.”“When the emphasis on ministry disappears, Christ flows naturally.” “Speak Christ,...
In this episode of The Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot to walk through key clips from Joe's keynote address at TPUSA's AmFest. Joe explains how a last-minute shift—from a planned debate to a 13-minute mainstage address—became a providential opportunity to present Ezra's core message: the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the all-encompassing reality of the Kingdom of God. Together, Nate and Joe challenge the idea that cultural renewal is primarily political, exposing the myth of neutrality and showing why every sphere of life is ultimately directed either toward Christ or away from Him. The conversation also presses a recovering theme in the Church today: Christ is King, whether you believe it or not—and the gospel is not a self-help invitation, but a proclamation of the King and His advancing Kingdom. A timely episode for anyone wrestling with the limits of “Christless conservatism” and looking for a truly biblical vision of cultural reformation.

Season 4 Episode 03 Topic: Healing In His Hands (Ft. Jordyn Peaks) Adonai means “Master” or “Lord,” but not in a way that diminishes us—rather, it frees us. In this episode, we'll look at the moments in Scripture where God's people had to decide whether to trust His leadership or cling to control. We'll discuss why surrender is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines and how living under God's Lordship brings clarity, direction, and peace. You'll discover how acknowledging God as Adonai reshapes not just your obedience, but your identity.

When James and John sought authority and position, Jesus rebuked them and redefined greatness, declaring that His kingdom does not operate through lording power but through self-giving love and service. In Christ, authority is not a hierarchy to climb but a life to give, flowing from union with Him and expressed by loving one another rather than ruling over one another.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot continue their reflections on Ezra Institute’s time at AmericaFest, focusing on Dr. Boot’s interview with Lucas Miles, Director of TPUSA Faith. They discuss the need for cultural and political engagement to be rooted in the Church and shaped by a robust biblical worldview, emphasizing the Lordship of Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the reality of human depravity. The conversation highlights why worldview formation—not issue-by-issue activism—is essential for lasting cultural reformation, and why unity around primary Christian doctrine matters in this moment. Ultimately, the episode calls Christians to think and live Christianly in every area of life by answering the fundamental question of our time: Who is King?

In this episode, I step away from a simple Highland–Lowland divide and draw on research from Wilson McLeod's PhD thesis, Divided Gaels: Gaelic Scotland and Gaelic Ireland, 1200–1650 to show just how fragmented and uneven Gaelic Scotland really was. Using McLeod's work, I explore how some Highland regions lay at the cultural core of the Lordship of the Isles, while others sat on its margins or were shaped by entirely different political and social forces—and how parts of the Lowlands retained Gaelic far longer than is usually assumed. The result is a far messier, more regional picture of language, identity, and power than the clean lines we often draw on maps. This episode is an invitation to rethink easy categories and to see Gaelic Scotland as a patchwork of overlapping influences rather than a binary world.
