In this opening lecture, Derin Stidd lays the groundwork for a distinctly Christian view of politics — one that begins with the lordship of Jesus Christ over every earthly power. Rejecting the modern myth of political neutrality, Stidd argues that government is not morally autonomous but a servant of Christ, accountable to His Word and law.He exposes how secularism has replaced God’s authority with man’s will, producing a civil order that celebrates rebellion and punishes righteousness. True Christian politics, he contends, starts with Christ’s absolute kingship and the believer’s duty to obey God rather than men.With biblical precision and Reformed conviction, Stidd shows how Scripture defines authority, justice, and the limits of government—and how Christians must reclaim a theology robust enough to resist tyranny and rebuild culture on the foundation of God’s truth.📖 Main Texts: Psalm 2, Romans 13, Matthew 28:18–20, Colossians 1:15–20#ChristIsKing #ChristianPolitics #ObeyGodDefyTyrants #Romans13 #Theonomy #BiblicalAuthority #Reformation #ChristAboveCaesar
