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.
About the Guest(s):Michael Beck is an insightful pastor and venerable thinker with a deep interest in Meredith Klein. Originally from South Africa, Beck moved to New Zealand in 2005 to plant Gracenet Community Church and has been serving as its pastor since. 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've seen the devastation of gun violence in America on high display in the last several weeks and it's time we talk about God & Guns. 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? Listen along and join this tough conversation.

King Herod killed James and continued to persecute Christians because it was politically advantageous. God later strikes him down. Shortly after this, we see the conversion of Sergius Paulus, the Roman governor of Cyprus. Why does Acts emphasize kings and rulers? How is Sergius supposed to rule now that he is a Christian? In this Episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten consider these questions, and share some general thoughts on various versions of Two Kingdom Theology.

How In is In? Heard About Quanta Processing? Getting Broody? Your Great Re-Set. Look in as Kingdom Talks Host Gil Hodges welcomes you to another great conversation with kingdom forerunner Mike Parsons. In this first part of the show, the unmistakable thread is how, although we already are in I AM and have been given perfect rest, we can still hold that ingrained tendency to keep busy at any price - even at the cost of our own physical and emotional health and that of others. Mike Parsons lets us in on some of the stupendous revelations he has received from Father but also brings us down to earth with the comforting truth that they were for him personally and that we shouldn`t expect carbon copies. We will all receive revelation individually tailored to fit the individuals God knows us to be. Gil Hodges and Mike Parsons finish up with a helpful heavenly perspective on Yahweh`s heart concerning the present transitions taking place in the world.

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...

Ambition can be a difficult thing for Christians to grapple with. It’s great when it's for God's glory, but it’s so easy to make it all about ourselves. We can strive so hard in this world with selfish ambition that will never bring joy, whereas when our ambitions are for Jesus then we learn more of the fullness of life and joy he brings. Two Kingdom ambitions we can grow in right now are deepening our dependence on Jesus and using our rooftops to proclaim Jesus.

Radical Faith Series Part 3 - “Great Faith”Luke 7: 1 – 10 NIV Pastor Bruce C. Davis Luke 7: 1 – 10 NIV 1When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 9When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.There are Two Kingdom systems in which you can enter. This is where Greater Faith is accessible. Understanding the Kingdom Authority - (Knowledge is not the equivalent to Understanding) Having information without proper placement of the knowledge can do more harm than Good! The need for spiritual teaching is desperately misunderstood. The thoughts of God (Theology) were always given to men and women that God would place His hands on to bring revelation! We all need to be taught; to be a learner requires humility and submission. The Centurion had a revelation from the Holy Spirit concerning the operations of the King and His Kingdom. He loved God and he expressed his love for God by paying for the synagogue to be constructed! Accessing Great Faith is not a miracle, it is a system.Characteristics of Great Faith Proximity is not an issue - No distance can stop Great Faith from receiving what it believes. The Centurion was not near Jesus but fully expected Jesus to make his servant well. Humility - (I am not worthy to come to you.) We care too much about building a reputation for ourselves. Dead men do not have feelings. Take up your cross; you must lose your life so that you can save it. Dying to self will enable you to walk in humility. Understand how to be under authority in a Kingdom - You will not be able to step into Great faith unless you see Jesus as a King with a Kingdom! When you cannot handle someone telling you what to do, it will be difficult for you to access great faith. You don’t need a touch, “Say the Word ONLY” - You just need Jesus to speak the Word. In the Kingdom, everything is owned by the King; positions, wealth, relationships, etc. Self-hoarding is not allowed in this Kingdom, the other kingdoms may allow it though Jesus’ words are under the authority of the kingdom of God. Jesus said as the Father has sent me, so I send you. We are under delegated authority! The kingdom of Darkness doesn’t move without a higher authority! Matthew 15: 21 – 28 NIV 21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. Great Faith can Accelerate your Progress! Great Faith Makes All Things Available and Possible (She was not who Jesus was authorized to reach) She Recognized Jesus’ kingly position, “Son of David” (You cannot enter this Kingdom without Revelation of its King)Jesus was under the authority of His Father (“I only Do what my father does and say what He tells me to say” - John 12: 49 NIV) The Kingdom of God is here/ The Authority of Heaven is here, but you must get under it, or this authority will not work with you! This Kingdom doesn’t work for us, but with us!Flesh and Blood were not leading this woman’s mouth, it was the Holy Spirit. What was her revelation? It is not necessary for me to sit at the table. The loaf or a slice of bread is not necessary because the crumbs have every ingredient that the slice and the loaf have. All I need is a piece of this bread that you have for the Jewish people and that would be more than enough to meet my needs! Conclusion: “The Greater the faith, the Smaller the Evidence that is needed”You don’t need someone to tell you every day that you will make it; you don’t need the odds to be in your favor. You work better as an underdog! Matthew 17:20 (NIV)20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Action Plan:Grow your faith no matter what level you are on! Start Practicing the Will/Word of God Today!

Citizens are members of a city or kingdom. Standards of good citizenship vary: the prevalent one in America is from Frank Capra’s ͞It’s a Wonderful Life.͟ In the Bible, there are two types of Kingdom of 4 God (physical and spiritual), with two dimension of citizen life: Vertical (Theological) and Horizontal (Political-Economic-Social). Strive to be good citizens in all these senses. YouTube.com/AbileneBibleChurch | PDF's Available at AbileneBible.org/ichristian-series.htm
