Two Texts Kingdom vs Empire | Disruptive Presence 130
In which John and David explore Paul’s trial before Felix in Acts 24 and the clash between kingdom integrity and imperial corruption. Paul resists flattery, bribes, and compromise, instead holding fast to righteousness, self-control, and the hope of resurrection. Felix, intrigued and afraid, repeatedly summons Paul—over two years, Paul’s refusal to play by the empire’s rules becomes a quiet but powerful witness. John and David also explore echoes of John the Baptist’s confrontation with Herod, showing how God’s kingdom consistently exposes the brokenness of worldly power.
