3. There Is Another King: The Reformation of Civil Authority | Jeffrey Stivason

What does it really mean to say, "Christ is King"?

In an age of slogans and soundbites, that simple declaration—Christ is King—can be deeply misunderstood, misused, or stripped of its biblical power. In this thoughtful and timely message from the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology, Dr. Jeffrey Stivason invites us to take that claim seriously—not just politically, not merely sentimentally, but theologically and practically.

Rooted in Ephesians 1, Acts 17, Daniel 7, and Psalm 2, Jeff unfolds the meaning of Christ’s exalted kingship:
🔹 As a reward for His perfect obedience
🔹 As an active, present reign over all things—even when unseen
🔹 As a reality that shapes how the Church lives and proclaims the Gospel in the world

Whether you're navigating today’s culture wars or seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus’s present reign, this message reminds us of the unshakable truth: Christ reigns now. And His Church—the very body of Christ—is the living evidence of that reign.
