Things To Know On 5 Minute Church

By Della Monroe


It was a history service that was hosted or conducted by then Dr. Nichols Stephen is usually a week podcast which offers a decisive, informative and informal perspective at the history of house of worship. For those who would like to join them, there is a weekly service which briefly takes people from the present and enables them to see and explore the past. 5 minute church is very helpful to some people as they do not have to walk all the way to the physical location of house of God.

The host will take the congregation back to the past and basically focus on the lives of olden people, their way of lives, the events and not forgetting the beautiful places that have contributed a lot to shaping the lives and story of Christians and also clearly explains or depicts the picture of Christianity journey.

Edward started his sermon or speech by basically greeting the congregation by referring to them as honorable gentlemen and recognized King George but above all he greeted them in the almighty name of Jesus Christ. Without wasting any time Edward went straight to the bible and read a verse which was second peter verse one chapter nineteen. The verse talks about the sure prophetic word that emphasis people to do good and be the light to others. They should be a light that can shine also in darkness until or up to day dawn when the day star appears in their hearts.

Christians are easily encouraged by such stories since these are stories which they can easily relate with. There are many stories which people can relate and digest and also apply in their daily lives to help them tackle the problems facing them at a particular time. This is peoples stories and their families history. 5 minutes service is considered an outreach of the Ligonier.

Edward spoke of something that made Englishmen who were present to squirm. This is because he openly stated the reason why they went to colonies. The reason for them to go to colonies was to spread the gospel to them. He also noted that they had failed in their mission to show them the light.

He said colonials chose not to show them the right but instead kept them in dark so as to take advantage of them and steal their resources. He openly told the Mohawks tribesmen that colonialism and them were no different. The only difference was that colonials worshipped the true God. Edward lastly invited this tribesmen to receive the light from God which was better than light from sun.

There are many instances where Christianity history has been used to bring more people to Christ and these instances include sermon of the treaty where Jonathan Edward was invited to address the guests who were invited to witness the signing of peace treaty between the Mohawk and Massachusetts.

In these 5 minutes of history of churches, Dr. Stephen recalls or talks about the time missionary Jonathan Edward during a peace treaty signing preached about the gospel of Jesus Christ to Mohawk tribesmen.
