There are several instances where history of Christianity has been used to bring people closer to God. Th first incidence was by Jonathan Edward an event that occurred way back in seventeen fifty one on August. This was during the signing of a certain treaty between the Red Indians and Mohawk tribe. 5 minute church has been used to pass the gospel to people on different occasions and platforms.
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.
The host usually preaches about the past, the way of Christians lives before, the events that took place thousands of years back, the places and locations that largely contributed to shaping the story and lives of Christians.
Edward gave his sermon by first unfolding the story of redemption. He briefly touched on Adam story and how his relationship was with God until Adam committed sin and was cut off from the garden of Aden. This sin separated man from God since God disliked sin. He then quickly touched on second coming of Jesus Christ and also touched on redemption promise.
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.
These wonderful experiences explained in the bible are also experiences that people pass through today, so by looking at them and how those people overcome challenges then, Christians today can borrow from them and apply same experiences.
The other occasion was conversion of Robinson Crusoe who in 1651 sailed from Hull and on his way the ship was wrecked and all his crew members perished. Robinson was the only survivor and he was washed to a certain island where he stayed on it for twenty eight years alone.
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.
