5 Minute Church And The Impact

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 of such sermons usually takes back his congregation back in the days when Christianity was put in test, where Christians were persecuted and shows them despite all the tribulations and persecutions they never gave up on their faith. With such stories Christians are encouraged to continue believing in Christ and for those who have not yet received and accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior they are preached to and eventually get born again.

Each of these podcast provides a clear and easy comprehensible and easily digestible glimpse of basically how eternal, all powerful and unchangeable our God has worked or done to his people who remained true and faithful to him and also show how God has done to church over many past generations. Such stories of courage, faith and standing firm with the lord over the years is told to people to encourage the present day people.

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.

Then there was a sermon of the treaty which was by Jonathan Edward where he gave a sermon on a special occasion during the time which there was a signing of treaty between Indians and Massachusetts. The occasion had governors and members of congress, ministers, chiefs and several Indians. Many guests gave their speech including the governor but the highlight of that occasion was when Edward gave a sermon.

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.

He proceeds to give the story of Adam and how God created Adam and how this first human being committed sin that separated us from God. Sin becomes the new reality of this world. He also talks about the fall and the coming of Christ and promise of redemption.

Some guests were invited to address the congregation but the most appealing speech was the speech by Jonathan Edwards. He spoke to them about the almighty God and how he created Adam and Eve and there after spoke of Jesus Christ and the promise of life after death. He argued the people to be the lights for others and shine where there is darkness.
