: John Knox and the Birth of Presbyterian Polity
In this week’s Memorable Monday with Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church, we continue exploring the ministry of John Knox and the shaping of the Reformation in Scotland. After the decisive year of 1560, a pressing question emerged: How should the church be governed according to Scripture? In this episode we examine how Knox and his fellow reformers turned to passages like Titus 1:5–9, 1 Timothy 3:1–7, and Acts 14:23 to develop a biblical model of church leadership built on a plurality of elders. We also explore how this led to the Presbyterian structure of session, presbytery, and general assembly—forming the foundation of the historic governance of the Church of Scotland. This episode highlights the biblical roots, historical development, and lasting influence of Presbyterian church polity.
