The Rise and Fall of Civilizations: What Can History Teach Us? - Melvin Lehman | KFW 2020
Channel: Kingdom Fellowship Weekend
Date: 30/08/2020

August 21, 2020

Starting with establishing the centrality of Christ, Melvin Lehman then reflects on historical lessons for our generation. What can we learn from Biblical and contemporary examples of revival? How do the four eras of peace illustrate the sovereignty of God? With stories and illustrations, the timeline from Christ to the Reformation to the present time is examined for relevance to our modern experience. How are God’s people in the Western world being affected by global socialization or nationalism? Message concludes with a call for Kingdom communities that bring God’s kingdom to the earth.

Discussion questions:

1. What are we learning about global socialization and what should be our response?

2. At what level have we bought into nationalism and how has nationalism affected our identity as a people, set apart unto God?

3. What are the unintended consequences of the Reformation and how are we interacting / responding to these unintended consequences?

4. What is a “close community” with a mission?
