Two Kingdom Tension

Craig Ford's look at 2 Samuel continues in this second episode, "Two Kingdom Roads". October 26, 2025.

Message Summary (by OpenAI) Title: “Lord, Teach Us to Pray – Part Two: Kingdom, Power, and Glory Forever” Speaker: Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Main Text: Luke 11:1 | Matthew 6:9–13 Introduction Dr. Bryan Hudson continues his teaching series based on the Disciples' request to Jesus in Luke 11:1, “Lord, teach us to pray.” The message narrows in on the concluding phrase of what is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer: “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13) Rather than a line to recite, this statement is a declaration of divine ownership, authority, and purpose. Dr. Hudson emphasizes that believers are called not only to pray this truth, but to live in it, sustain it, and ultimately become kingdom. I. Immersed in the Kingdom of God Not just experiencing the Kingdom — Believers are called to become Kingdom. Like language immersion makes one fluent, immersion in God's ways makes believers fluent in the Kingdom. Jesus taught us to prioritize God's reign: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”(Matthew 6:33) Key Statement: “If you seek the Kingdom, things will find you. You don't have to chase after blessings.” II. How to Sustain God's Kingdom, Power, and Glory in Your Life Dr. Hudson identifies four foundational principles that sustain a life infused with God's presence and purpose: 1. Faith in God Trusting God's character and promises. Root of spiritual stability and resilience. 2. Prayer Ongoing, intentional communication with God. Modeled by Jesus and commanded to His disciples. 3. Quality Decisions Definition: A decision made with clarity, alignment to God's Word, with no retreat. Quality decisions reflect maturity and purpose. They allow believers to move forward without being hindered by past mistakes. Examples of Quality Decisions: Moses choosing to suffer with God's people (Hebrews 11). Ruth choosing loyalty to Naomi, leading to her place in Jesus' lineage. Jesus choosing God's will over His own in Gethsemane. Examples of Poor Decisions: Esau trading his birthright for temporary satisfaction. Saul disobeying God and offering unauthorized sacrifices. Judas betraying Jesus. 4. Agreement The power of walking in unity with others in purpose and direction. Dr. Hudson explains Amos 3:3 as “agreement to walk together,” not “agreement on everything.” True agreement requires shared purpose and relational unity, not identical opinions. III. The Power of Agreement A. Biblical Agreement Matthew 18:19–20: Jesus promises to be present where two or three are gathered in His name. Agreement brings authority: binding and loosing — declaring what is proper or improper according to God's will. Agreement leads to divine presence and intervention. B. Misused Agreement: Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) The people were united, speaking one language, and agreed to build a tower to glorify themselves. God intervened by confusing their language, breaking their agreement, because: They were united in self-exaltation. The principle of agreement was valid, but the purpose was wrong. Key Insight: “Right principle, wrong people, wrong purpose.” IV. Biblical Unity and Corporate Purpose A. 1 Corinthians 3:9 “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.” Without agreement in purpose and practice, there is no fruitful ministry. The church must function in unity, not uniformity. B. Psalm 133 Unity is compared to oil flowing from the head of Aaron — symbolizing divine blessing and anointing. Unity is the place of commanded blessing. V. Application to Life and Ministry A. In Marriage and Relationships Agreement doesn't require total sameness, but commitment to shared purpose. Dr. Hudson uses humorous examples from his marriage to illustrate mutual compromise and unity. B. In Church Life God's power is available, but we must come into agreement and unity to access it. No agreement = No blessing. The power and glory of God are not “awaited” — they are present and available when we are aligned with His kingdom. VI. Confession of Faith, Unity, and Purpose The sermon concluded with a corporate confession, reinforcing the message's themes. Believers affirmed that they: Walk in purpose Live in divine power Make quality decisions Serve with unity Are becoming “kingdom” through immersion in God's ways Are fellow workers, fields, and buildings of God “Forever starts today.” Agreement with God and one another allows believers to experience His kingdom, power, and glory in their lives now, not only in eternity. Final Charge and Prayer Summit Invitation Pastor Hudson invited the church to a corporate prayer summit, underscoring the importance of gathering in agreementas a church body. He exhorted believers to show up physically, not just spiritually, emphasizing that God is waiting on us, not the other way around.

Phil Grossman- Sunday morning opening message.

DIFFERENTIATING THE TWO KINGDOM REALITIES. PART 2, AND CONCLUSION. This teaching highlights a crucial spiritual insight about how Jesus reframed the concept of kingship and rulership during his earthly ministry. There's no doubt that Jesus clearly identified himself as a king, yet his embodiment of kingship fundamentally challenged and transformed human understanding of what kingship means. Rather than merely claiming a title, Jesus demonstrated a radically different value system through his life and actions.We're living in unprecedented times that demand a deeper and broader understanding of the kingdom of God. To navigate these days effectively, it's crucial to grasp what the kingdom represents, rather than just what it's not. The clearer our understanding of the kingdom's true nature, the more empowered we'll be to live a life that authentically reflects its values and principles.John 18:36. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.One of the most significant challenges facing the world and the body of Christ today is a distorted understanding of leadership and governance. This misperception stems from a lack of clarity and understanding about the kingdom of God, a concept extensively discussed in Scripture. The kingdom represents leadership, power, influence, authority, and the values embodied by Jesus.The misconceptions about the nature of kingship which speaks directly to how we perceive and interpret power, influence, and authority directly impact how believers approach their sense of spirituality and Christianity as a lifestyle. If one's understanding of kingship remains rooted in worldly paradigms, their expectations about spiritual authority will be misaligned with God's intentions.The failure to grasp the kingdom's principles has led to a downward spiral of spiritual leadership crises, mismanagement, abuse of power, and prioritization of material wealth within the Church and beyond. To make a positive impact, Christians must recapture the true meaning of the kingdom of God.Understanding the kingdom's principles will empower believers to live a Christ-centered life, guided by His values, rather than self-promotion.

In today's episode, Kelsi is joined by 1517's Adam Francisco and Bruce Hillman to discuss the way in which politics and government is written about in the New Testament as well as St. Augustine's political theory.

In this special edition of the Sermon Notes podcast, host Jay Strother is joined by guest Brian Ball to explore the intricate relationship between biblical teachings and political engagement, especially as the 2024 election approaches. The discussion emphasizes viewing politics through a biblical lens, maintaining that Jesus' kingship should influence every area of life, including voting. Together, Jay and Brian outline four guiding principles: God is on the Throne, and Jesus is King. No matter the election outcome, Jesus remains sovereign. This perspective helps believers navigate political uncertainties with peace and trust in God's ultimate authority. God is Sovereign Over All Nations and People. God's sovereignty means He is not surprised by election outcomes. Political events unfold under His authority, which provides assurance that He oversees even what we might not understand. No Candidate, Party, or Platform Can Fully Provide, Protect, or Satisfy. While engagement in politics is important, ultimate trust and hope should be placed in God, not in human leaders or political systems, as only God can truly fulfill and guide believers. Christians Are Citizens of Two Kingdom. Believers balance their citizenship in their nation with their ultimate allegiance to the Kingdom of God. They aim to align their actions with God's will, participating thoughtfully in civic duties like voting while prioritizing their commitment to God's kingdom above all else.  With practical steps for faithful engagement, this episode encourages listeners to steward their votes responsibly, prioritize love and peace, and trust fully in God's sovereign hand.

With an academic background that includes a PhD focused on the work of Meredith Klein, Michael Beck has contributed significantly to the understanding and accessibility of biblical theology within the Reformed tradition. Besides his pastoral work, he also teaches Old Testament and Hebrew at Grace Theological College and hosts the podcast "Two-Age Sojourner," which centers on biblical and systematic theology with a clinionian perspective.Episode Summary:In this episode of Renewal Cast, Coalt Robinson engages in a compelling conversation with Michael Beck, pastor and noted thinker who has extensively studied Meredith Klein, a pivotal figure in biblical and theological scholarship. Beck shares his insightful views on why Klein's work remains highly relevant for understanding Christ's relationship with culture and our roles within it.The discussion opens with Beck recounting his church-planting experiences in New Zealand and how it led him to Klein's theology. He emphasizes that Klein's perspective on the sacred-secular divide and covenant theology has profound implications for church missions and individual Christians in a secular society. The academic rigor and theological depth of Beck's PhD dissertation-turned-book, "Covenant Lord and Cultic Boundary," serve as a backdrop for the entire conversation.Key Takeaways:Michael Beck's experience in church planting in New Zealand confronted him with secularism, leading him to Meredith Klein's work on covenant theology and Christ-culture relationships.Beck's book "Covenant Lord and Cultic Boundary" critically examines the church's role in society, inspired by Klein's thoughts on the sacred-secular divide.Klein's legacy is multifaceted, ranging from Old Testament scholarship to his significant development of Gerhardus Vos's biblical theology.Essential to Beck's thesis is the interplay between active obedience in justification and its impact on the church's cultural engagement.The Transformationalism movement in church planting is critiqued for potentially overburdening churches with cultural ambitions at the expense of gospel-centric mission.Notable Quotes:"The question before us was just, okay, well, what do we do with the culture? How do you plan a church? How are you supposed to live in this culture faithfully?" - Michael Beck"What Klein shows is that [covenant theology] is going to matter." - Michael Beck"Adam failed, Israel failed. I mean, I hate to break it to you, but we're not going to make it. We need Jesus." - Michael Beck"The church has something to say, and there are all these temptations to kind of move in different directions." - Michael Beck"I just want to come to church and hear the gospel and just be fed by word and sacrament." - Michael BeckResources:Michael Beck's bookMeredith Klein's academic contributions.Church planting networks like Acts 29.Books by Michael Horton: "Where in the World is the Church?", "The Gospel Commission", and "Ordinary".Michael Beck's own podcast "Two-Age Sojourner".Be sure to tune in to the full episode of Renewal Cast to engage with the rich theological insights Michael Beck offers based on his study of Meredith Klein.

EPISODE #141: Ted asks about what the Lutheran Two Kingdom theory is, reading from John 18:36. Rod talks about how Lutherans understand Jesus' words about His kingdom, or realm, versus the earthly kingdom, and what it means that Jesus considers them separately, particularly for believing sinners in this ‘kingdom of the left' who struggle under many effects of sin and cry out for relief and help.

We know this topic can be extremely divisive and political for many but this conversation is seeking the Two Kingdom approach and not the Two Party approach. Is gun-ownership a disputable matter for Christ Followers? Does Jesus' warning of "live by the sword and die by sword" apply to guns? How do our constitutional rights effect our faith?

What is R2K? Classical Reformed Two-Kingdom Theology: The two kingdoms are the visible and invisible, earthly and heavenly Christ's rule is over both. The church is in both. So, the church participates in both, but its participation is according to the sphere it is in. Visible: both ministry and magistrates, both visible church and earthly civic life Invisible: heavenly life, eternal church Alternate 2K view: The two kingdoms are the civil society and the church. Christ's rule is only over the church Civil: civil sphere is left to the “god of this world”, civil society is always assumed hostile, pagan, or secular Church: earthly church is separate, apart from civil society altogether with its own life, its own transient, “just passing through” society on earth, stands in opposition to earthly society in “prophetic denunciation” or “moral witness”, persecution complex (Evangelical view somewhat?) Flattened One Kingdom View: Christ rules over all in the same way, all (should or ought to) belong to the same one kingdom, share in same ways, life, laws, means, authorities  church or civil holds superior authority? (Leithart's “theopolis”) (Catholic Church?) Natural Law - God runs the world through consistent ways, principles, reason, laws These laws are discoverable by all peoples through reason. Protestant Reformers attested this over and over.  How did R2K develop? Augustine - two cities Gelasius - duo sunt Luther - spiritual and temporal governments, conscience and conduct  Calvin - spiritual and temporal governments, the soul and conduct Hooker Locke Contemporary people?  Why is R2K important? Theonomists - presuppositionalism, OT laws as blueprint for society Neo-Calvinists - “take every thought captive” Evangelical - a bible verse for everything Proper role of the church in the Christian life over-reaching claims for biblical authority Blurring religion and politics, salvation and progress, heaven and the nation, discipleship and social justice Importance for political thought/theory Quotes: "Regarding our eternal salvation it is true that one must not distinguish between man and woman, or between king and a shepherd, or between a German and a Frenchman. Regarding policy however, we have what St. Paul declares here; for our Lord Jesus Christ did not come to mix up nature, or to abolish what belongs to the preservation of decency and peace among us....Regarding the kingdom of God (which is spiritual) there is no distinction or difference between man and woman, servant and master, poor and rich, great and small. Nevertheless, there does have to be some order among us, and Jesus Christ did not mean to eliminate it, as some flighty and scatterbrained dreamers believe." Calvin, sermon on 1 Cor. 11:2-3 "Difference of nations [gentium] or condition or sex is indeed taken away by the unity of faith, but it remains in the conduct (or manner) of mortal life, and this order must be preserved in the journey of this life." Augustine, Epistle to the Galatians (on 3:28,29) Calvin on Christ's spiritual kingdom belonging to the inner man: "The nature of [Christ's] kingdom...is not external, but belongs to the inner man; for it consists of a good conscience and uprightness of life, not what is so reckoned before men, but what is so reckoned before God." on Isaiah 42:1 "We must observe the analogy between the kingdom of Christ and its qualities; for, being spiritual, it is established by the power of the Holy Spirit. In a word, all these things must be viewed as referring to the inner man, that is, when we are regenerated by God to true righteousness." on Isaiah 9:7 "Having shown above that there is a twofold government in man, and having fully considered the one which, placed in the soul or inward man, relates to eternal life, we are here called to say something of the other, which pertains only to civil institutions and the external regulation of...
