Learning what it means to submit to earthly authorities; representing the kingdom of God well (based on Romans 13)Order this full message on MP3 HERE. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1213/29?v=20251111
Eleanor of Aquitaine, 'the Lady of Two Kingdoms,' was once described as a woman out of legend. The greatest heiress of her generation, she became one of the Middle Ages' most dramatic, celebrated, and controversial figures.
This bonus episode was orginally an LCI Green Room livestream with Greg Baus from the Reformed Libertarian podcast to talk about how all authority comes from God, but divine, church, and civil authority aren't the same thing—and how Christian nationalism tends to blur those lines. We reacted to a Right Response Ministry video (Joel Webbon and others) that said critics misunderstand Christian nationalism and argued the state isn't religiously neutral. They used the Ten Commandments, Psalm 2 (“kiss the Son”), and Romans 13 to claim rulers should enforce not just laws about harm between neighbors, but also laws against idolatry and false worship. Greg and I pushed back hard, saying they were collapsing divine judgment into civil punishment and never gave a real principle for separating sin from crime, which leads to an unbounded “Christian nanny state.” We also critiqued their handling of Two Kingdoms theology, “general equity,” and what Romans 13 means by “evil.” After that, we listened to a chapel talk by Pastor Matt Cotta, who warned that when Christianity gets used for a political project it turns into a counterfeit faith, and that nationalism becomes an idolatrous rival. He drew a line between nations as people-groups and modern nation-states, argued nation-states enforce unity through coercion, and said the church is Christ's kingdom—pilgrims and exiles—so worship itself witnesses against giving ultimate loyalty to any earthly nation.
On this episode of the Princeton Alumni Weekly's book club podcast, Suleika Jaouad '10 discusses ”“Between Two Kingdoms,” her memoir of fighting a rare and aggressive form of leukemia and, afterward, finding a way to rebuild her life and her very sense of self. She also discusses her follow-up, “The Book of Alchemy,” and explains the role journaling has played in her life and her writing. She writes that while working on “Between Two Kingdoms,” she made this discovery: “If you're in conversation with the self, you can be in conversation with the world.” (Find the transcript at paw.princeton.edu/pawcasts)

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that like David, God's Kingdom grows within us quietly, and oftentimes invisibly at first. Humble beginnings are often God's way of working through our fear and insecurity to form a more Godly outcome based on security and trust.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that life can deliver crushing blows. Anxiety, and distress can make us feel dejected, even lonely. But, in our discontent, if we choose to trust God, it will build confidence, knowing that He is building His kingdom inside of us, starting with our hearts.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that there is a striking difference between sin, and demonic power, and God's kingdom of faith, sacrifice, and divine justice. So, Christians are called to recognize God's purposes, and that way, we're able to identify with David's kingdom.

The Patriarchy Podcast | Pastor Joseph Spurgeon In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with James Baird, pastor and author of King of Kings, to dismantle the modern lie that the state can or should be religiously neutral. From towering pagan idols on American soil to the plain teaching of Psalm 2, this conversation exposes the reality every nation tries to avoid: every law serves a god, and every ruler will answer to Christ. We discuss Christian nationalism, answer objections from R2K theology, libertarianism, and theonomy, and return to historic Protestant political theology rooted in Scripture, the Westminster Standards, and the American founding. This is not about replacing the Church with the State. It is about rulers doing their God-given duty. Christ is King. Over hearts, but also over nations. ⏱ Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – The lie of state neutrality and America’s pagan idols02:30 – Psalm 2 and the duty of rulers to honor Christ04:10 – Who is James Baird and why he wrote King of Kings06:30 – Why modern evangelical political theology collapsed11:50 – Christian nationalism: caricature vs historic reality14:45 – The core argument: government and the public good17:40 – Answering objections to the syllogism21:00 – Does this replace the Church with the State?23:10 – Can the state force Christianity?25:00 – The First Amendment properly understood29:10 – Why “protect all religions” is unbiblical31:30 – Was America a Christian nation?35:00 – Theonomy, natural law, and civil legislation41:50 – COVID, tyranny, and bad political theology44:00 – Is this a recipe for persecution?50:00 – Pragmatism vs obedience52:45 – Two Kingdoms theology challengedFinal – Christ’s kingship over nations About the Show The Patriarchy Podcast equips men to embrace God-given masculinity for the glory of Christ and the good of His Kingdom.

Whether we understand or acknowledge the existence of a kingdom that exists outside of the Kingdom of God, does not change the reality that the kingdom of darkness is a very real, a very powerful, and prevalent threat to our lives as believers. We need to understand how to overcome and overthrow the enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy our lives. We have been given authority over all the power of the enemy, but we need to know how to use that power to be free!

12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.1. What does it mean to you personally to understand that you were born into the "kingdom of sin and death" through Adam, and how does that understanding shape your view of humanity?2. How do you reconcile the idea of being represented by someone else (Adam or Jesus) with our cultural emphasis on personal autonomy and individual responsibility?3. Do you find the human origin account in Adam to be a powerful explanation for both humans' inherent worth and deep brokenness?4. In what ways are Jesus and Adam similar as representatives, and in what ways different? How does that inform your understanding of Jesus' obedience and salvation?5. How are these three powerful in your life: what's been done to you, by you and for you? How would it impact you if what's been done for you was the primary felt power over your life?6. If you are now a "citizen of a new kingdom" through Jesus, what are some ways you might still feel like a "caveman," and how can you begin to live more fully into your new reality?

Unless you happen to live in one of only a few countries in the world, especially those with long family Monarchies or Dictatorships, you are familiar with frequent changes of government leadership and often the tumultuous times those government changes bring, right? In our journey through God’s “Grand Narrative” the next section of the Bible in the Kings & the Chronicles gives us the story of the tumultuous years following the traumatic breakup of the nation of Israel into two kingdoms: Israel (Northern Kingdom of 10 tribes) and Judah (Southern Kingdom of 2 tribes).

In this urgent message, we address the reality of spiritual warfare following a powerful night of deliverance ministry at Wellspring. With some experiencing freedom from tremors, intrusive thoughts, physical ailments, and spiritual oppression, it's clear that the battle is real—and we must be equipped. Drawing from Scripture, we explore how Jesus has already disarmed and triumphed over the powers of darkness, yet we still wrestle against spiritual forces in this present age. This sermon focuses on two critical areas where Satan gains footholds: unconfessed sin and unforgiveness. Learn the biblical framework for confession, repentance, and forgiveness, and discover practical steps to close the door on the enemy's influence in your life. Whether you're seeking freedom for yourself or learning to help others, this teaching will prepare you to stand firm in the authority of Christ.

Herod Matthew 14:10-11 “When Herod heard of Jesus, the first thing that flashed into his mind is that this is John the Baptist, whom he had killed, come back to reckon with him. And because the sinning life is the haunted life, sin is never worth the cost.” – William Barclay Matthew 14:9 John 8:34 1: When someone corrects or criticizes me, is my first response to fight back in anger or to look and see if they're right? 2: Are my wants and desires leading me to do things I know to be wrong? 3: Am I living passively, not speaking out about the evil of the system in which I'm caught up? II. The Feast in the Wilderness - The Kingdom of Heaven Matthew 14:12-13 A. The Sorrow Psalm 34:18 NASB Matthew 14:13-14 (back to ESV for the rest) B. The Compassion “Jesus translates his sorrow over John, and perhaps his sorrow over himself, into sorrow for them. Before the outward and visible works of power, comes the inward and invisible work of power, in which Jesus transforms his own feelings into love for those in need.” – N.T. Wright Matthew 14:15-18 C.

In this conversation, Joel Webbon and Dr. Stephen Wolfe explore the intricate relationship between church and state through the lens of Two-Kingdoms Theology. They discuss the distinctions between civil and spiritual authority, the role of the church in society, and the concept of the Christian Prince as a divinely appointed leader.Webbon critiques both Protestant and Catholic perspectives on the church and state, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear understanding of Scripture and the implications of political leadership in a Christian context.
